I would start with a simple tune-up if you haven't done one recently. Nothing too technical on most vehicles (my Honda was a pain to remove the rotor button).
Get new sparkplugs properly gapped, new distributor cap and rotor button, and a new air filter. You may be dropping a cylinder when you're going down the road. A simple tune-up (if one has not been performed in the past year) can help solve many problems. It can also help if troubleshooting an issue. Most people don't think about replacing things like sparkplugs until they have a problem. Manufacturers usually give a recommended mileage for the change interval. And no, not all spark plugs are the same. Some vehicles are extremely particular about what spark plug you use.
Your description sounds more like a torque converter clutch problem. It would explain the poor mileage, having to floor it to go. I suggest having the transmission scanned, looking at the slip speed of the torque converter clutch.
I have a 1993 Taurus GL V6 3.0L..I"am experiencing a loss of power. Hesitates on acceleration Only when It's cold.When is get hot it runs very good. I have Replace Spark Plugs Cap & rotor were change air filter & fuel filter & TPS/EGR..... & it has a rebuilt ENG in it...this could be a sensor. But which one could it Be?
Replace plugs and wires, especially if the missing is worse at high throttle, and definitely if the check engine light *blinks*. The plugs might make it to 100k miles on this engine, but the spark plug boots can carbon track before then.
