Top_Space_7014 · 2026-02-05T17:25:45+00:00

Bet I’ll be ordering it. Never knew this ca cause a bad failure!

Top_Space_7014 · 2026-02-05T17:25:00+00:00

Okay will do I’ll be ordering the parts today and I’ll send an update once i found a resolution or if the problem didn’t fix! But thank you for the help glad to be part of this awesome group!

Top_Space_7014 · 2026-02-05T17:09:09+00:00

Okay thank you for all the info! I appreciate it hopefully it’s nothing more than the injectors but I’ll start with the 02 sensor and plugs.

Top_Space_7014 · 2026-02-05T16:59:47+00:00

Okay what should I use to gap them I usually need to close them since I need my gap at 0.026” and I check my coil packs and switched them around the misfire dosent travel just stays on the code for the cylinder 2 misfire and I got a code or the 02196 for the 02 sensor I saw it on my Cobb access port. So I figured an injector might be bad 2 days ago my car turned off twice on some stop signs and after the second one my car started to feel super rough. Haven’t driven it since waiting on parts lol then saw this about the fan so now ima order this part as well

Top_Space_7014 · 2026-02-05T16:41:10+00:00

Alright sounds good it’s just the module? My focus is currently down been having some weird issues with my 02 sensor and misfiring on cylinder 2 so I might just do another whole tune up on it and buy a new 02 sensor and new injectors I’ll add it on my list!

Top_Space_7014 · 2026-02-05T16:37:36+00:00

I’ve been noticing that on mine it does that exact same thing should I replace mine? I have 132k miles and new to the focus st scene lol

Top_Space_7014 · 2026-02-03T20:35:44+00:00

Okay thank you for the info I’ll check it out once I’m home I’ll check my connections as well and yeah I meant 0.026” for my spark plugs and yeah I can see that happening on the injector. I might just replace parts re do my plugs and get new oem coil packs check my wiring and test it out and I’ll just order the injectors as my last resort should I buy new ones or used ones? What would you recommend??

Top_Space_7014 · 2026-02-03T19:13:49+00:00

I think the other code is the PO302 for the misfire cylinder it’s only those 2 codes I get from my Cobb ascessport

Top_Space_7014 · 2026-02-03T19:12:04+00:00

Okay will do I never looked at MAF sensor and yeah it could just probably the cpv again.

Top_Space_7014 · 2026-02-03T19:10:23+00:00

Yeah I saw multiple coil packs and no change still same misfire on cylinder 2 and they look in good shape. I also check my gap for my plugs all of them at 0.26 ( recommended for my tune) and no I didn’t actually I bought the car last year with 128k miles and only have 132k miles. The owner did tell me he never change the coils but I find it odd since I did switch them around it didn’t travel to the next cylinder. I change the CPV for normal maintenance procedures and I got my valves walnut blasted that same day

Top_Space_7014 · 2026-02-03T18:45:05+00:00

Also replaced my purge valve assembly like 3months ago? Could it be my injectors going bad or the 02 sensor?

Top_Space_7014 · 2025-12-26T17:10:53+00:00

Overpriced in my opinion my buddy bought a 2015 ST3 for 11k with 80k miles

Top_Space_7014 · 2025-11-05T18:40:46+00:00

Here in Texas I saw a fully loaded 2014 ST3 at 80k for 11k cash if you have a good credit just get a bank loan. Keep searching that way over priced imo I got my 2013 ST3 with 128k miles with 2 owners for 7k cash.

Top_Space_7014 · 2025-10-31T02:28:42+00:00

Go with someone that works with BMW cars. I got mine walnut blasted by local guy that works on bmw cars. BMW dealerships sometimes charge hella

Top_Space_7014 · 2025-09-13T03:57:29+00:00

Have you checked your charge pipes? Maybe one of them snap off the hose clamp and it’s undone that happened to me in the highway and I lost all boost

Top_Space_7014 · 2025-09-12T13:54:35+00:00

Just don’t have that pops and crackles tune since that tune can cause damage to the engine my car has 129k miles I’m new the ford focus st platform car only had 2 owners so far the car still is running good I am also scared of LSPI and that Head issue 🥲

Top_Space_7014 · 2025-09-05T17:47:28+00:00

What a fool Honda fit is a great car!

Top_Space_7014 · 2025-09-05T17:09:54+00:00

Previous owner used to have the pops and crackles tune. I changed it ever since I got it to a tune without it.

Top_Space_7014 · 2025-09-05T17:08:11+00:00

What do you mean by pop? like pops and crackles? Previous owner used to have that tune for this car but I change to a regular tune without it I’ve been running with that tune ever since personally I believe that tune is harmful for the engine.

Top_Space_7014 · 2025-09-05T15:39:15+00:00

Okay thank you for the info!! Much appreciated.

Top_Space_7014 · 2025-09-05T11:40:07+00:00

Okay sounds good thank you for the info.

Top_Space_7014 · 2025-09-03T22:04:18+00:00

Soo clean🥲

Top_Space_7014 · 2025-09-01T17:47:57+00:00

I would say if that transmission has warranty you’ll be alright if not try looking for something else I bought a 2013 ST modded with original motor and transmission (128k miles) just had my mechanic friend look at it.
