Glad it helped! Definitely check the wires on the harness, may not even need a whole new pack! We don't have that engine in the states, if it's a regular gas engine I'd also say change the spark plugs if you haven't yet!

Robby94LS Its something like 1590cc to be exact, so we just call it a 1.6 litre here in the UK. It uses petrol/petroleum fuel. Thanks!

Hi Trooper - Did you get a fix? Mine appears to be having same issue. More noticeable when accelerating in 2nd & 3rd gear (at the lower end of the revs). I've ordered new HT leads and Coil pack......

Definitely on the right track, check all tune up parts! Comment again and let us know what you find!

j mangi62 it’s never fun tracking down issues like that! Do you know what the code was that they pulled? Inspect the coil pack and coil pack harness. Knowing what exactly the code was will help for sure!

@@Robby94LS the code had several problems, intake air leak,egr system, misfire in no.3 cyl. And one other thing I can't remember now whew, I wish she would've consulted me before she bought it lol.

Ahhh ok. There are ways of testing components, but with an older high miles vehicle I just like replacing everything, you know it is probably do anyway!

Hey, sorry, didn't see this when it came in! They're small Torx head screws, I'd just get them from the dealer. I know it's a little more money, but it's important that's mounted securely with the right hardware!

Half the coil pack could have died. Have you tried different wires to verify it’s not them? If you’ve ruled out wires, and the coil pack harness looks good, it’s most likely the coil pack, that would by my guess. If you have a friend with a focus you could swap and try, I know it’s usually no returns on those.

I purchased the new one from a Ford dealer, but it was kind of expensive. I just needed it fast. I’d check Rock Auto, 1a auto, or other aftermarket parts sites which are very good.

I'd say start with basic tune up parts, air filter, spark plugs, plug wires if you have them. In the USA we only had a 2.0 in the ZX models, the later 2.3 had coil packs but that wasn't until 2005 or so!

@@Robby94LS nope they had 2.3 as early as 2003...California 2.3 zlev

@@JPARKERZ28 They did! I realized later the ZX4 "ST" had it too!

@@JPARKERZ28 YES I had one great engine. 2003 PZEV 2.3

Thanks for watching! It's hard to say without seeing it, there are a lot of reasons that could be happening. Do you have a check engine light? Has there been any work done recently on it? How many miles do you have?? Have you checked anything yet?

Ah, now THAT I don't know, but try checking on the forum called Focus Fanatics, or Focal Jet, those are THE forms for the MK1 focus!

Do you have a check engine light? Usually when the coil pack goes bad it will give you a check engine light. If it's running rough and there's no check engine light, I'd start with tune up parts first, spark plugs, plug wires, air filter, fuel filter. Let me know how things go for you!

Robby94LS a change the coil but the car got power again but the car still running rough round 600 rpm and sometimes the engine stop when en press the clutch and no engine light

+Chali Danis Definitely tune up if you haven't in a long time. Fuel filter is a good idea too, it's always forgotten!

Most people call it the "coil pack" but may be listed as ignition coil. Definitely inspect the wire harness closely though, it's a much cheaper fix and seems to be a pretty common problem. Even easier and cheaper yet though, when's the last time you checked or replaced your spark plugs and plug wires? That'd be the first place I'd start with a misfire code. Good luck!

Robby94LS thanks. Unfortunately in my case it was the plugs that needed replacing. Still a helpful video.

Sorry, I should have included that! I used wire nuts, you just strip the old wire a little, hold it next to the already stripped end of the new harness, twist them together a few times and then screw the nut over them which keeps the connection secure. It's worth noting that's *not* the best way to connect it, but it's fast, cheap, easy, and works. They include what's called a butt splice connector which IS a better connection for the application, but it didn't work with how brittle the factory wires were. Soldering it is an even better option but the hardest and what requires the most equipment. Hope that's at least a little helpful for you!

Thanks a million for responding and helping me but I was thinking about stripping the wires a little and twisting them. I'm going to try it today then let you know how it goes. Thanks again.

Just make sure you cover them with some sort of insulator after that, you don't want them to ground to something in the area and give you problems. Best of luck, definitely looking forward to hearing how it goes!

I think it was $50-60 or so. Can probably find them even cheaper on Rock Auto. Unfortunately the harness was about the same because it’s dealer only. 😐

Oh man, sorry about that! Hit me up on IG if you still need any help! I can probably talk you through it or send some pics!

It was actually not throwing any codes, not sure why, it had a massive missfire while driving. I discovered the harness was bad when going to replace the coil pack!

You're 100% right! I didn't feel GREAT about it, but I had to get it done fast & cheap, that's what I had laying around, and it's such an old high miles car, I didn't need it to last 100K miles. I SHOULD just get some crimp connectors to keep in the tool bag!

Forgot to include the part number, but at the time of the video, the Ford dealer had NO problem finding the part. I described what I needed, they verified it on an exploded view they had, and it was all very easy and smooth.

Part number is 89FG-14a464-HCB. I bought one a few years ago from a firm called h2fconnectors2016 on ebay

+Cipher Oceanus lol, I never did, I'm always nervous to do it!
