2002 Ford ZX2 301&302codes new timing belt wires

FORD ESCORT.THE TWIN CAM, DOHC.ENGINE.
do not mix up coil pack 4HV wires or wrecks firing order
THE PCM + PACK SETS FIRING ORDER.
WIRED WRONG THERE IS NO RUNNING, ENGINE.
I WILL POST A BETTER PACK FROM NGK
do not change HV wires unless 1 at a time.
if one HV wire fails 2 plugs go dead.
this tech is called wasted spark.
the misfire is real and plug 1 and 3 are dead
flashing CEL means CAT melts next with flood of raw fuel landing on the CAT input.
first learn the 3 rules of spark engines
good engine, 150psi or more, and cam belt not SLIPPED.
next is spark if spark is good fuel is last
cant burn fuel on dead engine or dead spark or timed backwards.
301means weak combustion#1ONLY THAT>
why is next. and that takes tools GOT TOOLS?
99% do not here and want 50 guesses.
if used a timing light (spark tool) and timing is wayoff
the belt was put in wrong
or coil pack wired wrong.,OMG not both, sigh./

ZX2 ACTUAL

1998-2003 2.0 L (1989 cc) Zetec, DOHC I4, 130 hp (97 kW) at 5,750 rpm, 127 ft?lbf (172 N?m) at 4,250 rpm, redline 6,500 rpm, 7,200 rpm rev limiter ZX2
1342 FIRING ORDER, AND 1 AND 4 FIRE AT ONCE.
AS DOES 3 AND 2
INSIDE ONLY 2 COILS
MY 1975 HONDA CB750 HAD SAME THING. BACK THEN,.

CLEAR AS DAY HERE, IF DONE WRONG.

Hi all, 2002 neon Wil not start. problem.

ever see the car run good before, or just died dead? out of the blue?>
cranks ok or not. (grrrr grrrrr sound, or not)_ called cranking the crank shaft. fast.
cranks starter motor fast and not starting?
or never cranks the starter motor at all silent starter?????

2002 Dodge Neon, with secret motor under the hood.
2.0 liter engine, 132HP. or he 2.4L I an not guess engines ever
SOHC or DOHC engine were there, both an OPTION./
VIN F or VIN C engine they are not the same.
the twin cam engine DOHC is interference engine that must not be timed wrong ever. I'm told both are but my test is most strict ask.
"Power on no 1 and 2 coil plug wires but none on no 3"
does power mean HV spark or the primary side has power
yes it does if fuse is not blown, all fuses good is first. ok , all.
ASD sends 12vdc to the spark coils.

"Looks like it is one tooth out on timing.( the cam belt wrong?)
really? no engine PCM likes that, it can bend valves on some engines. never time a cam wrong .or boom happens.
the non COP engine (1 coil pack)
has just 1 coil pack with 4 HV terminals
there is no spark timing at all, (is cmp + ckp)_
cam wrong wrecks cam time and spark both.
CMP sensors and CKP sensors set spark timing, and are fixed in the case of crank. (the cam CMP sensor will be off if belt is timed wrong.
WASTED SPARK if you replaced the 4 spark wires 1 by 1,
there would be no mixup and spark would be good.
Coil No. 1 fires cylinders 1 and 4. Coil No. 2 fires cylinders Nos. 2 and 3.
if you mix up the 4 wires HV it will not run
mixing 1 to 4 works, but the wires are too short
mixing 2 and 3 works, same deal
mixing 1 to 2 or 4 to 3 is FAIL
see why> firing order wrong. PCM does the older not you.
if you wreck the order it will not run.
4COPS can mix all you what so there I did both engines

the cam belt is a 60,000 service, if skipped the DOHC blows up.
piston hits valves and boom valves bent and heads a train wreck from H3LL. and compression not 200psi but 5. BOOM.
never skip cam belt service, did you?
did you drive it till it DIED? not told
or just doing normal service now.?
history matters, next time ask for help before going broke on part not needed
btw the quad spark pack the best ones are marked clear as day
1,2,3,4 at HV terms
and engine is
cambelt 1,2,3,4 , trans.
to test for spark only unplug 1 plug or get wrong results on 4 in 1 pack.
the 4cop spark coils test them any why you want even all at once.

always assume interference or go broke fast
and some engine heads milled become interference and you can't know that standing far away 3 feet.
there are some DOHC engines that are free running
means cam stalled and crank spins and zero damage

if you bought a dead car(my act for years) we check compression first not buy tons of parts praying for a dead engine to run.
even engines on a pallet used. I test them.
time the cam per the service manual
if you'd tell what engine was there I'd post it.



note the better coil pack
to test # 2 or 3 both spark plugs 2 and 3 must be connected
and shells ground to the engine block or both fail.
and both spark wires can not be open, mag wire is best.
this is called wasted spark and is only 2 coils if you look closer

Nissan Sylphy won't start and coil not firing.

NO YEAR told for a CHALLENGE? year 2000 to 2022,wow !
NO COUNTRY TOLD.
check the FUSES FIRST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
with 9 engines used, gas (petrol) , sure not diesel.
all are 4 cylinders and diff. sizes sure.
so he does not know his job , that it?
find one that does.? for sure.
we have no such car here in USA;
for a fact 22 years made the spark systems are NO THE SAME
not old how may coil (HV) packs there are
1 pack (distributor ) year 2000?
2 packs, called wasted spark and 2 or 4 HV spark wires
4in1 pack bricks. one giant pack with 2 coils inside wasted spark.
4 packs called COPS, coil over plugs (sparks)
there you go 22 years of evolution of spark (and more powerful)_
my guess it is 2pack car, (or 4 pack brick)
in both cases, 2 /4 , the young kids working or boomers will not know what wasted spark does. and wired it all up backward
1>4 3>2 (ecu firing order is 1,3,4,2 for ever fixed)
Wasted spark fires. TDC
example 1 fires real ,and 4 fires wasted. wasted means wasted fining on the exhaust stroke. ( and saves owning 2 extra coils)
the magic of just 2 coils wired in series.
but if 1 HV wire is open 2 sparks die, OOPS?

my 1975 honda CB750 had it so is not new ever, this tech
what matters most of all is moving the HV spark wires 1 by 1
never just throwing the wires there. guessing.
HV means the 20,000 volt high voltage wire set.
and last ( causes)_
Some are , even year 2000, had s fire wall igniter block that drives all coil packs and sure that can fail too.
later years the ignitor was moved to the COIL packs.(cops)
and last last, ECU bad to spark coil inputs.
new year told
no engine told
no country told
a hard row to hoe, or a tough nut to crack.

good luck finding real tech. how knows his craft and the evolution of it.(complex)

Isuzu 2ltr bakkie nmbr 2 and 3 no spark?

post 3, adds, no spark , 2/3 (and still no year, no country stated)
bad coil pack?
wired wrong, this pack.
no photo of the engine, nor real name of it, Petrol.
btw, we dont have "BAKKIE" here. not a single one.
nor KB trucks, either.
what spark system this car has, im clueless.
4 coils or 1 pack.? if one pack , replace all spark wires
if one pack system , if either 2/3 wire opens, both cylinders go dead. try new spark wires. high voltage,

or you measured spark wrong, on 1 pack car.
it takes 2 spark plugs do do that. 2 good plugs and 2 good wires,
#2 and #3, due to the fact they are wired, in SERIES.
see its called wasted spark system, with 1 coil pack and no distributor..
the testing is unique. on this, setup.
try new spark plugs, gapped correctly
and 4 new HV wires,
I bet its go. if not the coil pack is toasted.

When idling my 2003 Acura TL the engine seems to want to almost die, also when i got on the freeway it seem to pull hard and **** like it was having trouble shifting into 5th gear. It also seems to run...

You may need to change the coil pack(s) or modular. The modular is what the coil pack(s) mount to. I'm not familiar with that engine so you may have a 3 piece coil pack, or a 1 piece. (If it doesn't have a distributor). You may first try replacing the coil wire. There is a good chance that is loose, or bad. It could also be the coil itself. Try the coil wire and if it still acts up, then try the others. Also, when you changed the plugs, did you put new plug wires? When I do a tune up on my vehicles, I change the plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor, (coil pack,modular), whichever is equipped, oil, oil filter, tranny fluid and filter with gasket, valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket oil filter, and fuel filter. Try changing the fuel filter as well, as plugged or dirty fuel filters can cause stall outs. I hope this information helps. Thank you for choosing fixya.com for answers.
