CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2002 Ford Focus 2.0L SOHC engine has a defect where the intake valve seat fails. The valve then falls into the cylinder, destroying the engine & most owner relationships with Ford in the process.
I really didn't notice the chirping noise until i drove without the radio on. But as i drove and let the car decelerate from the second gear, as it passed 2800 rpms there was a chirp noise. Hole in PCV tube. Not covered under warranty. If you know how to do it yourself fairly easy, will cost around $65 but if you take it to ford they charge you $151 for the tube.
