Help! My Focus Runs Like Crap! *cliffs Below*

Your scanning your car, with a code reader or something like an Xcal2? If you've got a chip or program in there, disable it and see if maybe a CEL lights up.  I know with my diablo when I had it in I never got a CEL until I removed it....  :blink:

edit: less gas, more problems....it may be none of what I stated above but they are still worth a glance....

OBD2 code reader.

CORRECTION: It seems to be happening UNDER LOAD only, because if i feather the clutch and drive very gently, it doesn't really happen at all. Sounds like the coil now.

Tuned radio into weak AM station... at idle, you can't hear popping too much, but while moving, you could DEFINITELY hear crackling when it misfires.

Worst of all, I think the coil is discharging into my VSS, because when it misfires, the speedometer jolts unexpectedly.
