Good Day,
I have a ZX3 2001 Focus and #2 cylinder is not getting spark.
Ran a compression test and it is 175 lbs.
Changed wires,# 2 had no reading from my ohmmeter,and plugs.
Can the coil have one bad terminal?
Scratching my head !!
TIA,
Mike

Although the coil pack has two internal coils, each feeding two
terminals, its possible that the connection to one of the terminals has
failed. If you have changed the plugs and wires, there is no other
possible explanation except the coil pack itself.
