Why would my Ford 2003 Rnager be misfiring and bucking on the highway at speeds above 45MPH right after I had my alternator, starter and battery changed. Starts and runs great otherwise.
Thanks,

Check to make sure they didn't reroute any of the plug wires causing one to arc under a heavy load. Also, check to make sure none of the injector plugs were left loose. Finally, check for vacuum leaks. Make sure none of the hoses were disconnected.
