Then if I pull away a bit quicker I get back fire and especially when applying more power in second. Any ideas of what and how to fix? Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Nov 5, 2014, 2:37 PM Post #2 of 4 (1841 views) Re: Focus 2002 engine low rumble on idle Sign In Not if but when was the last timing belt job on this? Backfire if because of valve timing off and noise from belt about to totally give out I wouldn't even start this again if it's at all possible to be that old and just do it even if not the whole reason/issue. Three engines all 2.0 L 4cyls possible looking this up. 8th digit of VIN will pin down which one. I believe all are interference engine so real trouble if a timing belt breaks!

Which engine? 2.0L SOHC or 2.0L DOHC?
