When it's hot it's just as bad as when it's cold if it's just turned on its fine for few seconds then starts to idle rough again put foot on throttle it sits where you put your foot. Yes just any revs and it's rough idle straight away more or less. When ever I move the power steering it also does it then idle goes low because you can feel the vechile vibrating from the low rpm. Also is there ment to be a like click noise from a electronic component from the rear? Also does it when the click happens not sure what to could be?

No, where is it on the 1.6 16v? Isn't it hiding behind the manifold? Do you have to take things of to get to it?

This isn't a picture of the car Engine but it looks the same the person who owns it has owned it for about a year now and the issue and been becoming more prominent over time, it's a 2003 1.6

Can you post a picture of the actual engine?

Well just did some reading on a european site and they said basically the zetec 1.6 doesnt have a MAF sensor only a MAP sensor and as far as I could figure out it is that sensor in your third picture. Definitely a strange situation haha but be sure to also check your spark plugs, wires and any other basic maintenance that may need to be done. Hopefully that'll sort out any other issues you may be having.
