I have 2003 ford focus 2.0 SOHC SPI with a bad missfire

I have 2003 ford focus 2.0 SOHC SPI. I am not getting a service engine light and the car has a bad missfire. It idles really rough and when you put it in gear it pretty much dies every time. I checked to make sure the wires and plugs were in the right firing order and they were so I replaced the plugs, wires and coil and then double checked to make sure I had the right firing order but nothing has changed. What are a few things that could be wrong with it?

The coil mounting bracket is fine and not sure how that affects the missfire.

Have you checked your cam or crank sensors? Could be one of them.

I have a ford focus 2003 model.plugs number 2 and 3 are missfiring.is there posibbility that the Ecu has packed?

Check the connection to your coil pack for a corded or broken wire going into the connector. The coil pack is where the plug wires come from. Ford has a pigtail kit to replace it if it is bad. Or the coil pack is bad. Top, driver side of engine.

Only 1 in 10,000 PCMs is defective.

I have 2003 ford focus 2.0 SOHC SPI with a bad missfire

Yup, been there, done that. Found it was a bad injector. Replaced that one injector the test showed and runs great now. Check engine light should be on though because of this problem. The test will show you which cylinder is misfiring and that is the injector you change. My test showed #5 cylinder. The last # in the code read.

Crankcase capacity for 2003 ford focus 2.0 liter split port engine

Hi,

To my knowledge, a 2003 Ford Focus 2.0 SPi engine would need 4 quarts of engine oil (roughly 3.78 liters). Incidentally, the Ford/Cosworth Zeta/Zetec engine would be needing 4.25 quarts (~4 liters).

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.
