Why does my focus 2002 1.6 16v?
Car idle is lumpy and pops from intake and exhaust when cold. Once warmed up the revs die to 400rpm and it often dies and wont restart until it has cooled down. If the revs are kept high it will run ok. It is only when idling. It also sticks at about 2200 rpm when revved at a standstill. The car is running too rich, plugs are black but seem ok.

Why does my focus engine stall when warm?
