I did put in some injector cleaner 2 weeks ago so that may take care of it but my mechanic buddy suggests that the plug wires may need changing. He says "Use Ford wires" and I said that that was boring. No colours to choose from or anything. Are there better wires than the stock Ford ones or should I go with what he suggests?Depends on how you define "better" - if it's strictly a matter of how it looks under the hood, then you can find all kinds of options on ebay.
