ISSUE

Some vehicles equipped with a 2.0L Zetec engine may exhibit a hesitation/surge at cruise or light tip-in at 72-96 km/h (45-60 mph) and/or a cold idle roughness, hesitation/surge and/or long crank times after a hot soak condition. This may be caused by the calibration of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

ACTION





Verify condition. If normal diagnostics cannot pinpoint the condition, reprogram the PCM with the latest level calibration. Refer to the PCM Calibration Information chart for details.

SERVICE INFORMATION





Obtain an Authorized Modifications Decal (FPS 8262 - obtainable through DOES II, 25/pkg) and list the date, dealer number, and summary of modifications performed. Select a prominent place adjacent to the Vehicle Emission Control Information Decal suitable for installing the Authorized Modifications Decal. Clean the area, install the decal, and cover it with a clear plastic decal shield.
