Rough Idle and Jerking Acceleration

Hi, I have a 2012 Ford BMAX with a gasoline engine. Lately, it's been running rough, stalls at idle, and the check engine light is on. It also jerks when accelerating. I checked the spark plugs, but they seem fine. Any ideas?

Sounds familiar. I had similar issues with my Ford Focus. Turned out to be the ignition coil. Have you checked that?

Thanks! How did you figure out it was the ignition coil? And where exactly is it located?

My mechanic diagnosed it. Likely a defective cable or plug connection. It's best to get it checked to be sure, but that was my experience.

Thanks, that's helpful! I took it to the workshop, and it was indeed the ignition coil. Cost me 95€ to replace. Runs like new now!
