Sounds like you have water on your coils. Remove them carefully, and clean them out, using paper towels or whatever to get rid of the water. Some cars including the Mustangs are bad for collecting water at the plugs. If the coil isn't replaced properly, they will collect it again.

Go check out a few Mustang sites about this.

It's just a SUPER-DUTY Mustang GT Sedan. 198K miles and still rolling HARD.

1997 Crown Victoria P71 SVT *** ex-US Marshall service (the CAR)
STOCK?? I bet it was modified.

13.26 @ 107.24 MPH 1/4 mi w/ me, tools, & full tank of 93 octane

I added CAI, NICHE 19 X 8.5 " wheels with 245/45ZR 19 rubbers, and completely rebuilt the front end with poly bushings, Kooks headers, 2 1/4inch exhaust, TCI 2200-2400 rpm Stall converter

.PLANS:: engine upgrade, 5.4L 2v stroker, rebuild interior in leather w/ buckets, thinking about turbos

My 200o crown vic did this as well it turned out to be a bad coil. No check engine light ever came on.
