Were the spark plug wires replaced? Even a pinhole in a plug wire can leak enough spark to cause a misfire. Try swapping that wire with another similar length wire from another plug and see where the misfire is then. If the misfire moves to the new cylinder or ceases completely, you'll know the wire was bad.

Usually the tune up is done around 80000 miles. If you have lack of power, engine misfire or poor fuel economy, you may need a tune up. Pull a spark plug and see how it looks and check the gap.


Why does your Ford Focus TDDI MK1 shake whilst you accelerate?

If it's the engine, you probably need a tuneup. This consists of new spark plug wires and plugs. Do NOT gap the plugs. If you do, you will ruin the platinum coating and they will misfire. Make sure you keep the firing order correct, or you will get more of the same... shuddering.
