This is easy to determine. Open the hood, start the vehicle, put it into
drive, keep your foot on the brake and slightly press the accelerator.
If the mount is broken the torque side of the motor will rise at least
2-3 inches.

Hi again.....
Can it really be the engine mounts that are bad ?
When driving up hill pushing the pedal to the bottom it sometimes like jump
over an ignition seems to me and luggs.
The same on flat road low idle it luggs and seem to me like it misses some
fires of spark.
And also when stopped with engine running it sometimes jumps over a fire for
an spark plug it seems for me.
Can this really be the engine mounts?
Regards for any help.

I didnt say it was a BROKEN motor mount, I said to replace them.
It's a known fact that some ford trucks/vans transfer occasinal engine
vibrations through the motor mounts, to the rest of the vehicle.
Replacing the factory ones yeilds good results.
If it is a miss on acceleration, or during crusing, it is not a motor
mount issue.
