[QUOTE="freeriders98, post: 15080634, member: 175971"] Hey all!!! Sorry this is my first post, normally on a forum I try to get the lay of the land first. But I am in a pickle as my SVT is my main commuter car and I need to get it up and running properly ASAP. Here is the issue So I have a 2002 SVT Focus. It has 118k miles on it. Both my battery and alternator took a dump on me. Got it all back together and now there is a misfire. It is not throwing any codes. It is pretty rough at idle even to where it almost dies. Then under load it stumbles and misfires. Under hard acceleration it smooths out a bit but you can still hear it missing some. At cruise 65mph and consistent RPM it misses as well. I've looked over everything that I disconnected and can't see anything I missed. I even puled the cover off and looked at the VCT thinking maybe I knocked it loose or something. When I went to pull off the serpentine belt at first, I pulled on the idler pulley instead of the tensioner. Is the serpentine Idler attached to the timing at all? Could I have bumped it out of time?
