I am having a problem with my 02 focus zx3 with 135000 miles on it. It started misfiring about 3 weeks ago after my car would be running for a while and warm up to running temp and misfire. I would hear a pop from the engine so I replaced the fuel filter, plugs, wires, cleaned out my mass air flow sensor, and have been putting lucas fuel injector cleaner in for about 4 tanks now, but the problem is getting worse now it is starting to misfire a lot now not at idle but under accelaeration it pops a few times and when I am going highway speeds and try to accelerate it might pop a couple of times but mostly it does not want to accelerate.I.E. Very veryslow acceleration but I put the car on a computer and nothing is showing up no codes or check engine light or nothing I am in las vegas so I don't know if the hot temp has anything to do with it but if anyone knows anything about this please respond before I have to take it in for repairs which 1 mechanic I took it to so far had no idea what it could be

Has anyone checked you fuel pressure? Are you looseing any water? May be headgasket problem started out slow but getting worse. Has car ever overheated? If so suspect the headgasket. Cars don't run on water in fuel or otherwise. (NOS)
