Head gasket- car began skipping and then white smoke came out of exhuast. I drove it home (3 miles). I pulled the spark plugs and found that the number 3 cylinder plug clean and wet. I did some research and found this to be a common problem with this motor and cylinder. Why won't ford help? I have yet to bring it to a garage so I don't know if the head or block is damaged. I am hoping not! Transmission- aod model starting at about 79,000 miles it began to shift funny and got progressively worse as time went on. Now shifting eratic, was looking into fixing it when the head gasket problem came up!!!!!
