Engine light would come on and off for a few days, eventually it came on and stayed on. I took my car to a service station and they did a diagnostic. Unfortunately because Ford will not let other places buy their computer programs to decipher my car's computer, I had to take the car to Ford. Had the DPSE (Exhaust) sensor replaced and it runs fine... for now.

I changed an alternator and the pvc hose and had computer checked for problems and everything was fine on my 2002 focus, but for some reason the check engine light keeps coming on. I took it to get checked and they said there is nothing wrong. The ford company says i must check it. Why? I feel the problem is in the work. The maker. Not the owner!!!!!!. Make them fix this or give us a new car that works. A four year old car should not have so many problems. Ford give us a car that we don't have to fix all the time we are working people and we can not work if our cars don't.

Car started missing, and the check engine light turned on. So I replaced spark plugs and spark plug wires and no solution. Then I checked for spark for all the spark plugs and the number 2 sparking plug did not have a spark. Then I replaced the ignition module and that fixed the problem. The check engine light then turned off by itself. However this is NOT the end of the story!
