Hello again,
Ok, so took it to the shop to have the fuel injection cleaned including a new fule filter. They also fixed the connector to the MAF (apparently one of em was bent or broke). Told me it seemed to take care of the problem. Well, driving down the road low and behold it exhibits the same syptoms as before... Sluggish on acceleration to stumbling/cutting out. Very noticeable around 30mph or faster. As far as I'm concerned the problem is not fixed and yes it will be going back.
So what exactly is an IAC valve and where would it be located on a Zetec 2.0? They also mentioned the water pump is making noise as well as the serpinetine belt tensioner showing signs of wear. Would the water pump have anything to do with this? Seems strange, but I am at a loss.
