Are Ford Focus good cars 2003?
These qualities, plus a wide variety of configurations, have made the Focus the best small car from a domestic manufacturer. It falls behind the Civic and Corolla in terms of refinement and reliability, but the 2003 Ford Focus is still worth considering for a fun and functional small car.
What’s the issue with the Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi?
Anyway it’s the 1.6 TDCi 115hp 6-gear manual transmission. The issue is not really “accelerating” in per se. The real issue is to get from a rest (0 km/h) to say 20km/h, especially if on a slope. If I could describe it in a few words I’d say that the 1st gear feels “longer” than the 2nd. The acceleration just isn’t there.
Why does my Ford Focus not have enough power?
Drive at higher revs when there are higher loads (i.e. steep hills) and keep the car in lower gears to keep it in the highest power/torque range. The issue is to get it to move from a rest. Once you’re at say 20km/h or 30km/h you can feel the power and you don’t even need to get into low gear when there are steep hills.
How can I get more power from my Ford Focus?
Use more revs, and slip the clutch more. Drive at higher revs when there are higher loads (i.e. steep hills) and keep the car in lower gears to keep it in the highest power/torque range. The issue is to get it to move from a rest.
What should the Revs be on a Ford Focus?
Use more revs, and slip the clutch more. Drive at higher revs when there are higher loads (i.e. steep hills) and keep the car in lower gears to keep it in the highest power/torque range. So an example, bring revs up to 2K, then ease clutch out, never letting revs drop below 2K.
Is there DTC’s stored in Ford Focus?
No DTC s stored and live data showing good pressure generation. Checking amps on the injector harness confirmed commencement of injection too.
Why is my Ford Focus hard to start?
Stumbled on this solution after going down the more powerful battery route, hich presumably compensates for the less efficient starter motor. The glowplug light on the dash illuminates for a millisecond and goes out. Have to operate key several times. Have to crank engine for several seconds.

What’s the crank speed on a Ford Focus?
The captures display very nicely the benefit of the new starter motor. Not only has the crank speed increased from 194 rpm to 291 rpm, but the current required (211 amps against 165 amps “average”) to achieve this increase means that more energy is available for other vehicle systems. The signal on the new starter capture is a lot cleaner too.
