It's very simple. While driving up I-95 N there was a loud pop, engine started to lose power, pulled over opened the hood there lay the spark plug and coil pact on the engine. Finally got help after an hour or so . Put the spark plug back in and the coil pact back on and it idles like and old a model tractor. Don't know......
2002 Ford Escort ZX2 - runs very rough, especially in drive and stopped (like at a traffic light). 2 mechanics have replaced motor mounts, adjusted idle speed - no good. Anyone else have similar problems?
Update from Jul 28, 2013: For Cathy F. - Hi. No, never did. I had the engine replaced, but could only find one from a very good rebuilder - but it wasn't warranted because they'd had so many problems with that kind of engine. I took the risk. The engine was bad. I took a $3,000 loss and just traded the poor thing in on a new car. Very sad. I really liked the little car.
