djandyh Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 hi all new to the foucs stuff, i have a 2002 focus and all of a sudden there loss of power and abit of shuddering, my wife was driving it lol. i thought it could be the ht leads so ive replaced all them but still doing the same, could it be the coil then, if i take plug number 1 out, the car will start but it will not start if plug 2 out or plug 3 out but it will start if plug 4 is in, am i correct in saying its the coil thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Certainly sounds like the coil, you will need to replace the HT leads as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djandyh Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 i thought it was ht leads so ive replaced them first lol so ill be buying a coil tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 just be careful, if you only installed the leads yesterday you should be ok, but disconnecting them and moving them can easily break them again, so be prepared that you may need to buy more in worst case scenario.

jeebowhite Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 lol Look at the day and the date, its all understandable. As I say, to be honest your leads probably will be fine, as long as your not vicious with them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djandyh Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 hi all ive replaced the coils and the car seens to be running fine but the fault light is still on, is this cause the fault is recorded in the ECU and i need to get it plugged in to turn it off cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Just check the wiring make sure everything is all secure. You can disconnect the battery for up to an hour, that should reset the light. Then if it comes back on again, you need to look at other issues.
