Idont have a code scanner to plug in,was just looking for some possible causes before taking to the shop. Is it possible the wires have come loose thru corrosion in the plug which goes into the igntion coil? And would it still work on 2 ht leads? No spark to1 and 3 on coil top2 ports are 1 and 3 and bottom 2 and 4

it may be that but I kind of doubt it. check your fuses under hood and autoparts scan for free.

we don't have that year focus in the US so it would be under hood fuses. in US only one coil I s used so it may be a short or connection or pcm problem.
