I was a mechanic for 10 years and this one has me stumped. Here's the dilemma, the car died slowing down at a stop light and will only stumble like it wants to start. I did replace the plugs and it started for about 2 seconds but here is my check list: 2000 Focus 2.0 ZX3 dohc
Bad battery to start with – wasn’t enough power for the coil
1. No codes
2. 40 kv of spark – coil, crank sensor and ecm –ok
3. 3-7 k ohms on plug wires, spark plugs - platinum look “good enough”- changed them anyway.
4. 45 psi of fuel – fuel pump, pressure regulator and sensor on rail (no codes) – ok
5. Have all injectors pulsing – cam sensor –ok
6. Can hear the injectors operating – ok
7. 10 inches of vacuum while cranking – ok
8. Less than 1 psi back pressure – ok
9. Compression tested at 120 psi – ok
I think it's possessed .....
Timing belt looks ok also .... What am I missing??? I'm total open to suggestions .... (8vO) AAAAhhhh!!!! Thank You for your support!

 

Wow!!! I've never seen so much water in the gas before..... I guess this guy musta bought the "hybrid" gas .... I forgot to do the chemistry test. Thanks for your responce, myself. Sometimes I have no idea what I'd do without you! You are a brilliant genius and quite possibly could take over the world.
