My 2003 ford escort zx2 is being difficult?
I like my zx2 but for the past month my engine light keeps coming in saying spark plug cylinder 1&4 randomly misfired, or P0301&P0304. I've replaced the spark plugs, spark plug wires, and the ignition coil pack (were all the spark plug wires connect, didn't know if I got the name wrong) and it seems to happen right as I'm accelerating. Is this bad for my car for one? And two has anybody else had this problem? If not does anybody know of a good website to ask this question on
Try focusfanatics.com - great site great info available. I was going to say coil pack - but you got that already swapped out… I had a 2000 SE with the zetec. 147k miles when sold) - but never those codes Clean the MAF sensor, and check the PCV valve it could be a lean misfire (at least checking clean is free) - but the site above would be your best bet.

- Can a Ford Escort ZX2 haul anything? It has an overdrive option, and would just like to know if it has the capability to haul anything. I'm NOT trying to haul anything big, just a something small a few miles down the road and do not have access to a truck and it is just a little bit too big to fit inside the car. I don't know anything about cars and I do know it has an overdrive option and have never used it, and would just like to know if that is a reason to use it.

- After market install 01 ford escort zx2? I have an 01 ford escort zx2 that has an after market stereo system. This vehicle is fairly new to me but for some reason the stereo doesn't have power. I have checked fuses and all the normal things. Upon further research I have found that the ground wire is not connected and I'm not sure if it can be soldered or if it needs to be replaced completely. Any insight would be very helpful.
