Reload this Page HELP, 2001 ZX2 idles very rough in drive.

Ford Escort Ford Escort ZX2 is a hot-looking compact coupe with a rakish design. Yet its handsome interior reveals a roomy back seat and surprisingly large trunk. ZX2 provides responsive handling and good road manners and its engine delivers decent power. At the same time, the ZX2 is a practical car, with plenty of room in the back seats for friends.

I agree, motor mounts are a hidden link that no one ever suspects. Yet they can cause vibration, noise, thumping, banging, and all kinds of annoying things, and they'tre relatively easy to fix. Don't replace anything else until you thoroughly inspect the mounts.
