A few questions for the knowledgeable people here. What would cause the left speaker system to not work after installing a new Alternator? Also anyone else have to get their ignition barrel changed as well? Another issue is the car now will not have a clean sound when idling and sometimes slowing down, it kinda sounds like how a remote car would sound when it would slow down. I cleaned the air filter and it helped it for a day, so could it be a vacuum leak or a problem with the pcv pipe? Any help would be most informative.

The static noise you are hearing when you idle up and down is a bad ground somewhere sounds like. Do you have some sort of stereo system? Unless you knocked a wire loose or pinched one, the speaker should not just stop working. Check the wires to the speaker...you may just have a bad one. Do you have a spare one laying around? Try using a different one and see if you have the same results.

The Focus' are known for having bad ignition cylinders. Some people on here have had them changed more than once...try 3 or 4 times. It happens. Nothing you can really do to prevent it, just replace it when it happens.
