I take it you have the SPI in that car?

Change the fuel filter (if over 20,000KMs since the last change) and you might want to actually consider new injectors. How many KMs on the motor?

I almost forgot - :hi: to FocusCanada.net!

what is the spi?

[SL8RZZX3]

Welcome!!! B)

SPI is the Split Port Injection single overhead cam 12valve

Zetec is the Dual over head cam 16valve

those are the 2 engines offered in your model year

then there are also the SVT zetec, and the Duratec 2.0l and 2.3l that have been offered after 2002 in North America

I had something like that in my old focus.... I traded it in before I fixed it. & welcome!

First of all, welcome to the best Focus site :lol:
Secondly, is your vehicle a manual or automatic?
Thirdly, I thought the SPI only had two valves per cylinder, which would mean 8 valves, not twelve.
Have you been through Bowmanville lately? Your car looks like one I saw last week.

If it's an automatic, it could just be the lack of response from the transmission and throttle.

[NOS2Go4Me]

Yes, the SPI is an 8-valve motor (1 intake and 1 exhaust valve per cylinder, split lobes on the single cam for each valve).

I'd still recommend the fuel filter, perhaps a coil (they crack due to age, mileage only matters if the roads are that rough for coils). I wouldn't suspect the spark plugs immediately but I WOULD recommend that you change the spark plug wires (again, age is a factor here).

Good luck!

I'm in Bowmanville. I saw a Focus like yours with the tinted windows, an SE last Wednesday, going down one of the roads in Bowmanville by the Tim Horton's getting onto the 401 East bound. Mind you, I think it was a Standard
