Ford Fiesta Engine Misfire & Loss of Power - Diagnosing & Replacing ignition coil pack. 

This happened to mine. Changed the coil but the problem was still there. Pulled out the spark plug leads and the tops of the spark plugs were covered in water. Had to soak up the water then change the plugs and it worked. My first time working on a car :)

anyone remember the old days when distributor was manual?with breaker points? LoL those days are long gone great video very useful

This man sounds like an awesome tutor!

Great when your boss helps you repair your car! I always had to do it in my tea/lunch break!

I've got a 2l fiesta and have a misfire issue in cylinder 3, hopefully changing leads, coilpack and spark plugs fixes it

Thanks. Same faults. This video helped me.

I had to replace my coil pack on my mk6 fiesta style it was misfiring on 3 cylinders too I cleaned the spark plugs and replaced the coil pack I thought the spark plugs were going out but since replacing the coil pack the car ran much better and no more misfiring issues the mpg improved significantly aswell

hukhukhukhuk....hukhukhuk...sound, really enjoyed . The way of explanation amazing,thank you for your valuable information....

These engines are pretty much bullet proof, however, they do sometimes suffer misfires. There are two very small core plugs at the top of the head where the plugs are. These rust through letting coolant into the recess where the plugs sit. Genuine Ford ones are around £5 for the pair. Another weakness are the leads and coil pack. Neither are expensive and easy to replace..

Some really nice tips also well explained, keep them up

cracking video lads...this might be the solution to my fiestas low buzz noise and slight cough on firing up

Proper old skool mechanics there. Great job.

The best way to check is to take off or to pull the spark plug cables from the coil one by one and you can hear or see when it sparks, that my own experience. In the way that they are pulling is’t a little risky to have an electric shock.

Thankyou so so much i saved so much money doing this myself, also the top cover just pulls off easy with a good tug from the back of it

Same problem on my ford escape 2003 with a 2.0 engine. One ignition #1, has no spark. I was suspecting the high-tension wire, but I tested with a multi-meter and it seems good. So, my suspect would be the ignition coil.

You legends. My Maurice runs like a dream! 🚙

Great video, quick question, would there always be an engine light on the dash when the coil packs up? My 05 fiesta is misfiring at 1000 rpm and apparently I should change my coil pack but there's no indication on the dash and no codes on the reader?

HI . got a major problem with my 1.4 petrol fusion . at low rpm it back fires and cuts out , wont take any throttle . it is worse when it is cold . once warmed up it settles a little . the engine light is on and i have cleaned the inlet manifold (was a little dirty and oily on the inside ) , i also changed the coil pack . car is still the same and gradually getting worse getting worse . any ideas???

My st150 has an issue where if I apply full throttle in 2nd gear upwards it just completely bogs out for few seconds then fires back up for a moment then does it again?? Any ideas cause I'm stumped

I had a pain of a misfire on my very old Focus. Changed the HT leads it went away , only to return a month later. Sprayed the HT leads and coil , it went away again only to return last month with a vengence , including engine warning light. Popped a new coil in yesterday and its running beautifully , but the engine warning light is still on. I have reset it , but it came back on 1 months ago and now wont reset

I had flashing check engine light(sometimes solid light) misfire under load. Turned out that the car didn't like Motorcraft spark plugs. Put Autolite plugs in...solved problem...so far.

Fantastic explanation, cheers

My fiesta has just had the coul pack go at this time too..

This a great video, particularly the coil pack replacement, who knew that was so easy. Just replaced my Fiestas spark plugs after a loss of power under load and did the trick. Noticed when I was changing them the HT Leads had orange rust on them, presume I must have a leak from the coolant or 'welsh' plugs. Car ran fine since except the engine light came on yday signally a P0300 error which I think is a general misfire. It happened after a massive downpour. Wonder if water is getting it from the top of the spark plugs.

I was just wondering. MOT has been done to my care which is a Ford fiesta, before the MOT the noise level was high in the car, its consumption was also high and it's felt like it doesn't have much power in it. after running a test on its computer to find any problems with the car, everything was fine. oil has been changed, oil filter and also Air filter was changed and they reset the on board computer. The engine ran very nicely without effort, very quietly, very quickly and its fuel consumption was perfect no noise whatsoever. The yellow engine error light came on when we were traveling, the noise level increased, the consumption also increased, the performance decreased again .now I don't know what to do... any suggestions please

My fiesta is misfiring on cylinder 4 and 1 I changed the spark plugs and it’s still misfiring on cylinder 1 and got the throaty exhaust, also struggles to get to speed up bank. I’ve bought more leads to replace the 4 hopefully everything should be good instead of having to buy a new coil pack

Great video mines diesal any way I should diagnosis it filter ? Pump ?

Nice video. Nicely presented. 🇬🇧⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🇬🇧

I thought i had this problem, but turned out the throttle body needed a clean, think the intake was dirty & sticking.

Hi I'm having the very same problem though sometimes the car drives smoothly and sometimes it just doesn't want to have it. My question is do you remove the fuel pump relay during testing or is it safe to do it with it on

Great video. The question I have is, does this fix engine hesitation?

Sir my problem of my ford fiesta when I drive 10 meters stop

Did this my ignition coil and lead still work perfectly. But when i remove leave 1 and two the car is fighting For life and lead 3 and 4 the car loose a bit of power but still acts like the video

I swear to god one day I'll burn down my fiesta out of rage. Just changed the ignition coil set and the old ones had water with oil inside them where they go over the plugs. Still have a cylinder 2 misfire

Hello, my engine cover is screwed on from underneath and I can’t pop it off at all, have u got any tips? Thanks.

Did the spark plugs have any built up carbon? My car was doing this. The mechanic put new plugs in and ignition coils but it's still doing the same thing after a day. He then thinks it needs a new engine!

My ford figo misfires and it goes therrrrr therrrrrr I’m a woman with no man this stresses me so much😭😭😭. Greeting from South Africa but I’m 100% sure my mechanic will sort the car out

Nice video

I've got mk6 fiesta 2005... Just stalls when driving / idling.. No error code showing, cleaned throttle body, replaced tps sensor, repositioned relays, cleaned pump filter, new oil filter, cleaned sensor on front wheel arm... Still stalls.. Pls advice

Greetings from South Africa. Great video! I can assume this is a 1.6l by the sound of the exhaust when listening from the back of the car. I think the stock exhausts on the 1.6l models sound a lot better from a daily driving point of view because they don't sound as throaty and sporty like what you would typically get on a 1.25l and 1.4l model.

Thank you

Hi, I’m looking to buy a 2011 Fiesta on Autotrader, it mentions there is an issue with the engine not firing correctly. Would your gut instinct say it is the same issue as this video?

@ shanty where in sa are you based can help you.

my fiesta feels like im driving with the handbrake on , the car has no go in it , a friend said it could be the coil pack, does this sound likely , ive got new spark plugs new oil new brake pads so it can't be any of those things, thanks
