2.0L SOHC 8V I-4 with SPI
(Escort and Focus)

Escort and Focus have a fuel-efficient Single Overhead Cam
I-4 split-port induction (SPI) 2000 engine. The engine comes standard with a 5-speed manual transaxle on Escort, Focus LX and SE; a 4-speed automatic transaxle is standard on Escort, and optional on Focus LX and SE.

Major features and benefits:

• SPI emulates multi-valve engine performance, enabling this
  I-4 to maximize horsepower and torque while maintaining excellent fuel economy and required emissions levels
• The split-port induction system uses a cylinder head with two intake runners per cylinder. These runners carry the air charge to the intake side of the combustion chamber. At lower engine speeds, the air charge is directed through a narrow pathway that results in higher air velocity, which increases burn rate, optimizing fuel efficiency and helping to reduce emissions. As engine speed increases above 3000 rpm, the second runner is opened. The increased volume of air allowed by this second path works to further enhance engine power and operating efficiency
• Because the SOHC design eliminates the need for pushrods, the system is less complex and has fewer parts
• Platinum-tipped spark plugs help provide sure-fire ignition and contribute to a 100,000-mile scheduled tune-up interval.(1) The metal platinum retains its conductive properties much longer than traditional spark plugs, thereby increasing reliability over the years and requiring less maintenance
• EEC-V technology helps ensure optimum efficiency and smooth operation
• On-Board Diagnostics (OBD II) precisely monitors all powertrain functions and exhaust emissions
• Sequential multi-port electronic fuel injection (SEFI) enhances the fuel delivery system by providing fuel at precisely the right moment for optimum performance

(1) Under normal driving conditions with regular fluid and filter changes.

2.0L DOHC 16V Zetec I-4
(ZX2 and Focus)

The 2.0L DOHC 16V Zetec I-4 engine is standard on ZX2, Focus ZTS, ZX3 and SE Wagon models, and is optional on Focus SE. This engine incorporates a fine blend of performance and efficiency. A 5-speed manual transaxle is standard on SE, ZX3 and ZTS, and ZX2, while a 4-speed automatic overdrive transaxle is optional on ZX2, and Focus ZX3, SE and ZTS. A
4-speed automatic transaxle is standard on Focus SE Wagon and a 5-speed manual transaxle is optional on Focus Wagon.

Major features and benefits:

• A cast aluminum cylinder head reduces weight and provides optimized combustion performance
• A precision cast iron cylinder block combines strength with stability
• Isolated powertrain sub-frame with elastomeric engine mounts minimizes noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) in the passenger compartment
• Sequential multi-port electronic fuel injection (SEFI) enhances the fuel delivery system by providing fuel at precisely the right moment for optimum performance
• 9.6:1 compression ratio helps ensure that the engine will run efficiently on regular unleaded fuel
• DOHC 16V design improves engine breathing and contributes to higher performance
• EEC-V electronic engine controls ensure optimum performance, and quick and easy problem diagnosis

5-speed Manual Overdrive Transaxle (IB5)

The 5-speed manual overdrive transaxle is available on Focus.

Features and benefits:

• Features external stiffening ribs on the transmission and clutch housing, to resist powertrain bending forces more effectively and reduce NVH in the engine/transmission assembly
• The final drive gears and bearings are also strengthened, to guarantee the required durability
• Double-cone synchronizers are fitted to 1st and 2nd, to reduce downshift efforts. The use of a synthetic oil lubricant minimizes cold shift efforts and improves durability further
• Sealed-for-life bearings, protected from dirt particle penetration, and new fluid seals also extend transmission life

5-speed Manual Overdrive Transaxle (MTX75)

The 5-speed manual overdrive transaxle is available on Focus.

Features and benefits:

• High torque capacity, efficient design and low internal friction. It has synchromesh on all ratios including Reverse
• To help minimize the risk of fluid leakage the integral gearbox and final drive transaxle casing is made in two pieces with closed ends, minimal external seals and a top-mounted shift mechanism working above the normal oil level
• All gears run on needle roller bearings to reduce friction.
  Low viscosity automatic transmission fluid (ATF) mineral oil is specified to help reduce shift efforts at low ambient temperatures and help improve fuel economy in winter

Electronically Controlled 4-speed Automatic Overdrive Transaxle (4F27E)

Focus models are available with this 4-speed automatic overdrive transaxle.

Features and benefits:

• Specifically designed and developed for front-wheel-drive applications and is controlled in conjunction with the engine by the EEC-V management module
• The 4F27E transmission is an extremely compact, lightweight new design that uses an electronic synchronous shift control concept (ESSC), for the operating pressure, shift clutches, brake bands, shift schedule and converter lockup functions
• Sealed-for-life component that requires no service maintenance for normal usage
• The electronic engine controls monitor seven different transmission input functions and integrates them with 11 engine functions to determine the shift strategy to suit all driving conditions. The system provides extremely consistent and smooth shift qualities with good performance and excellent fuel economy
• The engine management module incorporates the ESSC strategy, which compensates automatically for differences in ambient temperature or altitude, to maintain the same consistent behavior under varying conditions
