Some Ford Transit Connect owners report experiencing issues such as slow idle, surging, and stalling, which may be attributed to burned spark plugs and faulty coils. These burned spark plugs can lead to rough idle and poor engine performance, making it essential for owners to replace them at the manufacturer's recommended intervals to maintain optimal engine function.
