Focus Mk2 1.6i Erratic Idle & Misfire Help

[turbojoshua]

Hi There,

I have the Focus Mk2 1.6i Ti-VCT and over the past few weeks occasionally when the car is idling it will misfire or burble as I could explain and the odd backfire heard when driving/changing gear. The past few days it has been getting worse when taking the car out of gear when driving it will just die and the idle is very eratic, also noticing the brake pedal going rock solid.

There was a fault stored for "Ignition B Circuit: P0352", I have since changed the spark plugs, ht leads and coil pack to which no difference although I did notice cracks in the airbox? I have noticed when accelerating as well from 30mph+ there is no misfire or rough running, it seems to be only from low speeds or idling, car pulls fine at 70mph or what I can feel until you slow down again.

Sorry to drag on, this is really making me pull my hair out. Hopefully someone can help?

Thanks,
Josh

Thank you for that, I have already replaced the spark plugs, HT leads and coil pack. I've got a smoke tester on order so that I can check for any leaks.

Do you know what the fuel trims are?
