So the plugs are now wet. Maybe the guy didn't replace the valve cover gasket or the orings, I haven't checked what's required. Also here's a picture of the coils, one of them left the spring on top of the plug when I removed the coil. Another spring fell into my hand. Looks like they weren't attached well to the coil (seems like a metal blade the spring presses on to)
I don't have all of those available. I added what was same or similar and added whatever I thought might give more info. I know you said look under pcm only and I did, my car is 2010 it must be a bit different.
Last driving cycle had 1 single miss on cylinder 2 and 1 single miss on cylinder 4. When I pulled the coils off those two coils had loose springs (what connects from the coil, through the boot, to the spark plug). I'll make sure all are connected firmly and see if that changes, if not I'll swap coils and then plugs. I posted an image of the plugs and the type.
You said that before. If you know best, good luck.
So this could be the problem. The abs, speed sensor issue will try to pull timing at weird moments causing exactly what you describe. I would fix that first if the plugs look good. More than likely a faulty wheel sensor or vehicle speed sensor and or damaged wiring connectors at the vss or wheel sensor.
I'm asking for help because I don't know what's best. If this ECU has different names for what can be monitored then what should I do? Use whatever is there that gives the requested info or just try and make do without? I think I've done whatever has been asked of me and given whatever info I can. Just trying to get the wife's car to drive correctly, she loves this thing.
Show me the list of PIDs available in the PCM module. I may be able to match them up. But IDK how to do that with Forscan lite on a phone. Only Windows full version.
Rockauto says they fit your car.
Wet with what? Oil? Gas? Water? Can't tell from the picture.
oil
A leaking valve cover gasket would put oil on the other end of the plugs. Not the firing end.
cleaned with carb cleaner. anti-seize is on the threads only and installed. i did swap the 2 and 4 coils with 1 and 3. i'll be getting my kids in an hour and ill bring the laptop
Anti-seize is controversial. Some favor it, others don't.
Old dogs can't learn new tricks. That's what they say.
When necessary, yes. In this case it is the blind leading the blind. You just started using forscan yourself. I have turned wrenches on every model of focus to date. Have you?
