Im writing this for my mum who has a 2005 fiesta zetec 1.4 petrol, 30 k on the clock
The car never missed a beat until a couple of days ago when driving approx. 60mph the engine light came on and a loss of power / misfiring
She drove the car to the local garage who diagnosed ' cylinder 2 misfire ' the spark plugs were replaced and the engine light is now off, but the code wont clear from the car, the car was also a little low on oil.
The car is driving a lot better, but still from low revs when accelerating the car will judder and misfire a little until between 1.5 - 2rpm when the car drives like normal
Its idling ok
any ideas please?

Cheers, I will get her to try the coil pack and ht leads over the weekend hopefully and report back
I did notice the plugs were very rusty when they were changed, but that didn't completely cure the misfire
