Year: 1996
Make/Model: Ford Mustang Conv. (base)
Engine: 3.6L V6
Trans: Standard
special note: I know little about engines or engine problems.
Okay so it all started after I had a head gasket blow out on me and the radiator cracked, it was fixed, and then the problems started. After a few weeks I noticed the engine light came on and blinking so I went to Autozone and they told me I had 2 pistons misfiring, (2 & 6 i believe).
So here's the details they intermittently misfire at no specific times. Usually lasts about a minute and then goes away. Extreme loss of power with almost no acceleration even if pedal is to the floor. I have replaced the spark plugs and wires to no avail.
Also there is a knocking sound I hear only at idle, its a steady repeating knock and goes away when i put the clutch pedal to the floor. (I figured it might be related?)
Well thats all I can think of and thanks in advance to any replies.

So, why aren't you bringing this problem back to the guy that did the head gasket. If it was done right, it shouldn't be misfiring now.
