(wasnt sure wither to put this here or tech move if needed)
If you want to take a shot, be my guest. It would be much appreciated.
Lets see....
The patient is a 1.8Lr Ford Focus Zetec, 2000 model. (W reg)
Things checked already:
Compression test, cylinders check out fine.
New sparks.
Altenator has been checked and is working ok.
No holes in the tubes.
Fluids topped up (Oil, coolant, water) (oil change pending in the next couple of weeks)
Cam belt has about 12 months left on it.
Sensors read as OK.
Need a new air filter. (will be getting it this week)
Things fixed already:
4 new suspension springs.
new bonnet lock
new keys cut (lost my only one in a foot of snow,,,, I was drunk)
Some "clips" for the brakes, no idea what it was now.
Handbrake. (was only registering 14% effective)
New track rod.
New brake peddle rubber.
New drop links (this may be the above clips?)
Suspects:
Ignition coil.
Leads going to the sparks.
The block that sits on top of the air pipe coming off the box with the air filter in it. I forget it's actual name sorry.
I picked up my wife from work one day and it was running fine, i got in the car about 30 mins later and it's making this kind of put put noise and there was a noticable drop in power. It now sounds like my mates Evo6. There's a bit of a rumble when it goes and you have to stamp hard on the accelerator pedal to get any go out of it and because of the constant high rev i need, it's developed a drinking problem.
If I'm pooteling along at 30mph, it needs to be in 3rd gear as 4th makes it sound like it's about to stall which gets gradually worse when theres anyone else other than me in the car.
There's also an electrical crackle that comes through the radio which is pretty much in time with the previously mentioned "put put" noise.
If you can point me in the direction of a fix that doesn't require me to pull my pants down regarding the cost, you will be worshiped as a god and people will write songs about you.
Cheers guys.

Fixed.
Replaced the Ignition coil and HT leads and happy days. Took it for a quick test and actually managed to make the wheels spin.
