Hello,
My name is Eddie. This is my first post. And I was hoping someone could help me out. I would truly appreciate it.
I have a 02 Ford Focus zx5 and I can now not get it to start. And when it was running it was running really bad with no power. I have replaced alot of parts and put a lot of money into this car in the last 2 years so I pretty much have to make it last.
I even had the car at a reputable shop and did exactly what they said they would do to the car if they repaired it. Now it will not start.
I could go on for days about all that has been replaced.
The car has timing, good compression, Fuel and spark. I am honestly at a lost. And do not know what to do.
If someone could try to help me or suggest anything I would be more then appreciative!
Thank you so much in advance for your time and help. And allowing me to post on here.
Thank you very much!Ed

Yes, there were none. I tried again and it said they were none pending or stored.
Thank you for your time.what was the compression numbers on all cylinders? What was the fuel pressure?
Did you get spark on all wires?[quote=”college man” post=178624]what was the compression numbers on all cylinders? What was the fuel pressure?
Did you get spark on all wires?[/quote]
165, 165,160,165
45 psi fuel pressure
New plugs and wires and coil.
Thanks for your time.[quote=”waterfowlde” post=178721]Did I post my question on the wrong section?[/quote]
your in the right section. have you tested for spark? try spaying some stater fluid
in the intake to see if it fires. confirm spark first. see if this helps.[quote=”college man” post=178748][quote=”waterfowlde” post=178721]Did I post my question on the wrong section?[/quote]

Thanks so much for trying to help me! Sorry I didn’t get right back. I suffer from severe migraines. And between the migraines and this car I’ve been having a tuff time!
I have spark. If I spray starting fluid in the throttle body it just pops back through the intake when I try to start it.[quote=”college man” post=179244]If it pops back It sounds like timing. All timing marks like up?[/quote]hello. Thanks for your time and help. Timing Belt is only a few months old. But the timing marks line up perfectly with cam bar and crank pin. That has been double checked.
Anyone with any ideas? Please! I have no choice but to get this car fixed. I have all my money tied up into it.
Eric do you have a suggestion? Is it money? I have no problem paying someone that could tell me what’s wrong with it!
Hopefully no one has seen this post or missed it.
Your time and help will be more then you know appreciated!!!!!!![quote=”waterfowlde” post=179494]Anyone with any ideas? Please! I have no choice but to get this car fixed. I have all my money tied up into it.

Thank you so much for your time and help! I greatly appreciate it. And I’m in a bad situation.
The security light does contact come on when I try to start it.
Any ideas I will be very happy to try.What is your location? Maybe someone could look at it with you?
Because it backfired, and the compression looks good, and you verified the cam timing, then I would make sure the spark plug wires are routed to the coil pack correctly? I think if the crank trigger was giving you problems, the computer would throw a code?
Also, make sure you have good engine and body grounds, and good battery cables.

Hello, thanks so much for your reply and help.
I live in New Castle Delaware by the Christiana Mall and Cabelas. Zip Code is 19720.
If someone could help me out it would mean more then they think it will. I have no problem paying for your help and time.The wires are routed to the coil properly.
The grounds I believe are good. From what I researched and inspected.
The battery cables are new and are Ford OEM.I would truly appreciate anyone’s time and help.
Thanks you so much!My name is Ed and my number is 302-252-8796 if anyone could help me out.
