Alien-Tek,Sep 13 2006, 02: Wrote:So people, what kind of work have you done, or had done, to your Focus lately. I am not talking about performance or visual modifications. I am talking over and above scheduled maintenance?

I'll start...
In the past 2 months I have:

Replaced my pcv valve. $6
Replaced my fuel filter. $11
Replaced my idle control sensor. $156.80
Performed a motor vac $180
Replaced spark plugs $25 (I think)
Front wheel alignment $60

With the exception of the wheel alignment, all work performed was for poor idling and stalling during cold starts, poor accelration and hesitation.
I will let you know tomorrow if I have the same issues, I just had the ICS changed today because after changing everything else my CEL finally decided to come on and let me know the EXACT issue... Go figure.
Chalk another one up for why I love my Focus...

2000 ZTS. Bought it with 84,000 kms. All work done before 100,000 kms.
Replaced alternator, $150.00, 3 hours of my own labour. Anybody know an easy way to get it out?
Replaced OEM Throttle body, because my TPS was gone. Ford doesn't sell TPS, just Throttle Body ( should have repalced it with a Cosworth ) $380.00 2 hours labour.
