There is no real compression spec for the 2.0 zetec engine. Ford only says that no cylinder should be below 25% or all the cylinders. If it is that cylinder is down. That could be a number of problems such as head gasket or bad rings. Either way. Once you do a compression test yourself I would recommend having a dealership follow it up with a diagnostic. They will be able to give you solutions if there is low compression as far as possible reasons and repairs.
