Due to water leaking in around the (2) washer mounted sprayers for the windshield located on the hood 'the cut made in the hood allows water to drop right on top of the #1 cylinder plug rubber boot . It traps water in the plug well, after a short time the plug will break down and separates into (2) pieces. This will cause the van to start misfiring. When you go to remove the plugs THEY BREAK OFF IN THE HEAD. This is a pour design by Ford motor company . Please let me know if anyone else has this issue. I have (2) of these vans with the same problem .
