Ford ZX2 Ford ZX2 offers sporty styling, responsive handling, brisk acceleration, and everyday comfort and practicality for one or two people. Its back seat and trunk are fully usable. Yet the ZX2 is easy on fuel, and costs less than some base-level sedans. Gone is the smooth, grille-less look, replaced by a dark horizontal slash between the headlights.

Default shuttering apon acceleration?

i have a 99' escort zx2, 5 speed. i think their may be a problem in the front end. When i accelerate, the car has a slight shutter and it gets worse, depending on the amount of acceleration. I do not know what is wrong with it, it does NOT do it all the time, and i thought it was the engine cuttin out but my mechanic looked at it and the timing was off, that is fixed now but it is still doin it, i dont think it is the engine cutting out. I was thinking maybe it is the cv joints, but i heared that if it was then they would make a clicking noise all the time. The car doesnt make noise, it just shutters sometimes ONLY when i accelerate. It does it mainly when i really get on, like racing around town and stuff. Well if any one has any advice at all pleace reply, thank you.
