If it sounds like a really rough idle, shakes. It might be a hole in your pcv vacuum line, or a bad pcv valve. That is a common problem with the zx2's
Could be numerous faults apart from the HT leads.
Check spark plugs, then leads, then distributer
If it was wires the check engine light would be on and you'd have P030# code(s), but that more common would be IAC carboned up or throttlebody issue, remove clean with an approved cleaner reinstall. If you're careful the gaskets can be reused…
- Why won't my car stay idling? I just put a new fuel pump on my 1976 ford gran torino and it won't idle at all unless I fill the fuel bowl up and when I do that it will idle for a little bit and then when I start it up again it will idle for a little bit less then a little bit less and so on until it won't idle at all?
- What could cause my car to not stay running? I have a 99 ford contour. 4cylinder 2.0L. It cranks but will not stay running unless hitting the gas pedal. No check engine light. New MAF and Camshaft sensors. Got the car in feb and had new plugs and oil change. Could it be a clogged cat?
- Why is my car running rough with new spark plugs and wires? I have a 2003 Ford Taurus SE and it was running rough, so I put in new spark plugs and wires and it is still running rough. I was wondering what is wrong with my car.
- Would bad spark plug wires cause a check engine light? I just changed the valve cover gasket on my car. Then when I tried to start it, it started violently shaking and the check engine light turned on. The only thing I could think is that maybe the spark plug wires broke when I took them off. Would that cause a check engine light? It's a 2002 Ford Focus ZTS with 150000 miles
