I heard somewhere, maybe on here that there was a ECU update or something to help with the emmissions or something. How do I know if my focus has it and if so what is the new spark plug gap for the update. If I remember the original gap is eithe 1.2mm or 1.3mm will check the user manual later. Thanks in advance

    The spark plug gap is 1mm. If you go to ford for a diagnostic, the machine will auto update the ECU with any updates if available.
