Hi,
I have a Ford Focus 2000 and my ignition coil pack keeps dying on me. Something is causing my ignition coil to die and its been replaced 3 times already! Sometimes it would hesitate(shake a little)/lag a bit before picking up power, sometimes the engine shuts off while driving and I would have to restart it. sometimes when I press on the gas peddle it wouldn't accelerate.
When it reached the stage where the engine warning light comes on after its been driven for awhile(half hour or so) the engine would totally stop and would not restart until I replace another coil. These strange behavior occurs usually when I am in drive/reverse mode.
In response to this problem I have replaced the spark plugs, spark plug wires and I believe the new coil is dead again cause it wouldn't start, just cranks. If anyone had this problem before or know what the cause/fix is...please help! thanks in advance!
