Hi,
Ive got a 2001 2.0 ford focus ghia(zetec engine) and the bottom end is really s**t. From about 1,000 to about 4,000 it barley moves with the full foot down on acceleration pedal, then after 4,000 to 6,500 it gives you a little push back in the same concept of how you would expect a turbo to work or how variable valve timing works. its got 130 bhp stock and 151 nm torque stock and i alredy know that with these cars the peak torque and bhp is just over 4,000 but it really lags hard at bottom end. Its been well maintained and has had regular service but even when car is at standstill and in neutral putting your foot down just to build up the revs takes time. looking through internet ive kind of come to the conclusion that the cam heads aren't to brilliant but its a big issue for me that the car doesent pick up in the low revs because your average driving on street roads having power at bottom end can get you out of some sticky situations but for me im still stuck in the same place for a couple of seconds. Any theories of the problem would be greatly appreciated. Thank u
