Got some more work done last weekend. Pulled and mapped the whole engine harness, and laid out the new harness and got everything ordered (I hope). 

New finds: the factory crank sensor (and flywheel) aren't there any longer; the car has been using a custom Hall sensor supplied by SDSEFI, so now I'm going to have to fab up a bracket and use the DIYAuto tune sensor like in this link: https://www.diyautotune.com/news/crank-and-cam-sensors/ though I've ordered a harmonic dampener with 36 tooth wheel for a 2000 2.0L Focus, so that should at least be easy.

 

I'm still trying to 100% rule out whether this engine has or can use a camshaft position sensor. Could the hole that the throttle spring is attached maybe be a cam position sensor hole? I see that some Zetec-R did have them, and having one would allow me to run sequential fuel injection instead of batch.

 

 

The factory cam position sensor is located on the right rear side of the cyl head. See the sensor just beneath the small K&N breather in this photo. This is from a 95-97 model Zetec, but I'm assuming the later versions have the sensor in the same location.

Thank you! Now I just need to get the plug out (which I have to remove the cover anyway to set up the timing.)

You're welcome!

Do you have a part number or year number for that sensor? The hole looks identical to the one on my head, but trying to figure out what actual sensor goes there is tough.

 

Thanks in advance!

Your engine looks like it's from a later Ford Focus Zetec with the plastic cam cover.  I think these were used from 2001-2004 IIRC. One of these should work:

Also, check this brake action. Not sure how to feel about it.

Looks ok to me. Could stand to have the brake fluid changed and rebled. Two circuits with different piston sizes and take up clearance.
