I had the same thing happen. I have a zx3 with a zetec motor, the problem is
water uner the cover. Warm up the engine, turn it off, pull the pluge wires,
try to remove all the water in the plug chamber, let it dry out over night,
That should be it, if not repeat process. Mike

Water in plug chamber under cover. Let it dry out, by removing wires when
engine is warm, sop up water with paper towel and let dry wit wire out,
replace wires and should work. Mine did. Mike

How do you remove the plug wires from the plugs? Mine are firmly stuck on.

It takes some force to to pull the wires off the plugs.  Also check
the center wire going into your coil pack, they are known to wear thin.
