Recently my car has been having problems with jerking. It usually happens when the car has warmed up, but it has happened before when it wasnt. Usually low...
manaul I assume? zetecs have a tendency to be some what jerky anyways, gotta be light on the clutch, if the car doesn't ahve full power (not running on all...
Sorry yes its a manual. Ive had this car since I bought it in 98, I know the car jerked a little but this is nothing like its ever done. Its pretty bad at...
CHayse, I assume you don't have any CEL codes (check Engine light) and the CEL light works (lights when you turn on the key)! How old are the plugs and wires?...
No CEL codes are present and I am sure they still work. The plugs and wires were changed about 2 months ago becuase of the problem I was having. The fuel...
I have this same problem with my Zetec in a Birkin (Lotus 7 clone). I have reduced this problem down to the position of my gas pedal foot while driving. If my...
It seems that I can accelerate slowly and the car will act ok, maybe a slight jerk here and there but nothing too bad. However if im on the highway and trying...
I would check the fuel pressure, the fuel pressure sensor, the coils, The Spark plug wires, the throttle position sensor, the Mass Air Flow sensor, and the o2...
With the jerkin problem check your catalytic converter. Tell me does it seem as though you hardly have any power. This problem is easy to diagnose with and...
I had two 2000 ZX3s with the same problem. In the Focus it was a defective fuel pump. Miss and buck at WOT, would not rev past 5000rpm, can be intermittant....

My Porsche 914 did that when crusing turned that the micro switch inside the throttle position switch was dirty. Some WD40 cleaned it and was good for a...
My zetec in my 98 contour has a white valve cover. I am planning to use this engine in my kit car. Today I saw a very nice low mileage 99 ZX2 Escort at the...
Most 98 4cyl contours had vct as well but if it doesn't have the solenoid on the valve cover, then it doesn't have it. Personally I'd prefer to use a non-vct...
Ross, Thanks for confirming they are indeed the same. My contour has VCT and looks similar to the escort engine except for the valve cover. From what I...
Hi Y'all I don't know much about the ZX engines. I have an MGB/GT and would like to put a stronger engine in it. What do y'all suggest? What transmision and...
Okie, Here's a site with a lot of info putting a zx2 into a MGBGT: http://shotboltconsulting.ca/pbartle/ I love my zetec. It easily gets the big contour...
I wouldn't say they easily get the contour moving. I have a auto zetec and a svt v6. A stock auto zetec will run like a 19 second 1/4 mile. The svt gets along...
Thanks Anthony & Ross I'll give the site a look. What about engine management? What is the easiest way to go? Thanks Okie I wouldn't say they easily get the...
I think the best would probably be the most (very) expensive. such as pectel. Cheapest would be megasquirt but requires time and skill. You can also put weber...
Thanks Ross A single Webber sounds ok but then what about ignition? Okie I think the best would probably be the most (very) expensive. such as pectel....
I Don't think you will get a single Weber to work on a Zetec. The manifolds I have seen are all for Dual Webers. Also, don't purchase a set of generic Weber's...

Let's not crap up everyone's mailbox with useless information about yourself, huh? Your judged on how you conduct yourself, both in content and grammar, so...
You can paint your own. All you need if a $6 can of high temp ford blue paint. I use to buy used ones, clean them up and sell them when I needed extra money...
Just wanted to say hello. I'm new here as you can see. I own a 99 ZX2 MTX. It has custom intake, 2.5 exhaust, Kami headers, Altezzas, Intdiglo gauages,...
