2002 Ford ZX2 301&302codes new timing belt wires

FORD ESCORT.THE TWIN CAM, DOHC.ENGINE.
do not mix up coil pack 4HV wires or wrecks firing order
THE PCM + PACK SETS FIRING ORDER.
WIRED WRONG THERE IS NO RUNNING, ENGINE.
I WILL POST A BETTER PACK FROM NGK
do not change HV wires unless 1 at a time.
if one HV wire fails 2 plugs go dead.
this tech is called wasted spark.
the misfire is real and plug 1 and 3 are dead
flashing CEL means CAT melts next with flood of raw fuel landing on the CAT input.
first learn the 3 rules of spark engines
good engine, 150psi or more, and cam belt not SLIPPED.
next is spark if spark is good fuel is last
cant burn fuel on dead engine or dead spark or timed backwards.
301means weak combustion#1ONLY THAT>
why is next. and that takes tools GOT TOOLS?
99% do not here and want 50 guesses.
if used a timing light (spark tool) and timing is wayoff
the belt was put in wrong
or coil pack wired wrong.,OMG not both, sigh./

Truck ran fine. I changed the spark plugs and now it misfires or crossfire a on acceleration whys that

You probably connected the wrong spark plug wire to the wrong spark plug. You'll have to find the firing order and check your wires. I can't help you with that because you didn't indicate what kind of truck and engine you have.

The engine misfires when accelerating

Depending on your Grand Marquis's mileage...it sounds like plug wires and plugs...(worn out) and or engine timing/firing order? If plug wires recently changed...the spark plug wires are in the wrong firing order...confirm the firing order from your local parts store by phone...and retrace each one...always start with #1 cylinder...hope this helps.

My husband did a tune up on my car yesterday and now it wont start it will turn over like it wants to start but it wont he said that its miss firing we have bought 3 new coil packs and still will not start...

If your car is miss firing and your husband changed the coil packs,the wires leading from coil packs to sparkplugs must have got crossed.This will change car timing which will result in the car miss firing.He needs to go over wiring and correct problem for car to run right.You can go online to autozone.com and type in Info about car to get the correct wiring layout.Your problem isnt the new plugs n wires.Its the wiring layout.

Misfiring on the 1 and 3 cyclinder. need firing order to figure out what is causing it. Do you know firing order or what could cause misfire?

Misfire could be caused from bad plugs, plug wires, coils, injectors or fuel pressure. How many miles on the plugs and wires? Were the plugs gapped correctly? Time for a tune-up? You can get the parts you need as well as firing order and diagragm to show which cylinder is 1, 2, 3, 4,5 and 6 at Auto Zone.
