ford focus 2.0 16v zetec ghia (1999 uk model)



the problem is since last week it has been idling poor like if it?s misfiring, I have checked the computer for error code?s but there is none stored on the computer. also when doing about 35mph it?s like looses power for a second.. i think it?s called stumble...?



i have change the plugs,leads,ingnition coil,air filter



any help would be welcome...



thanks math.

I'd start with a good quality fuel injector cleaner added to the gas. If that doesn't do it, an intake cleaning would be a good idea (both of these are routine tune-up items).

Boy you move fast! Out of curiosity, how did you clean the intake system so quickly? It had to take mine to the dealer to get it done.
