I have a 2000 Ford Focus ZX3 , With the Zetec
i recently had the timing belt done , and the timing put back on
as soon as the timeing was back on the car would start perfectly , but as soon as it hit idle it had a fit and stalled.
couldn't really understand why , because it worked prior to the belt and timing being done , just not very good. as in no power , a little rough idle.
anyway i had a whole wack of things check recheck and rechecked again , the iginiton coil pack , MAF , PCV valve , Vaccum hoses , Spark Wires , Grounds, and spark plugs and so on , we had the scanner on the car also .
Now which ever parts we replaced the care no idles really rough and seems to want to stall but doesn't. also the engine light will blink every so often , and what the scanner shows is a Misfire on Cylinder number 2.
Anyway the problem is that idle is rough and when i step on the gas it kinda sputters a little then when the revs get up its fine. if i really lay into it for some acceleration the engine light blinks , assuming its a misfire again cause it goes out.
Anyone got any ideas , i have spent over 800 bucks on this one job and really want to get it to run right.
Any input would help
