<![CDATA[2000 Ford Focus problems]]>So I ended up with a 2000 ford focus on a trade which seemed like a solid deal. Today I was getting on the interstate, and I felt a loss of power. It feels like a timing or fuel thing. Its intermittent and choppy, and only happens when the vehicle is at low RPMs. Anyone have any diagnostic device? The MIL came on but I havent had a chance to go to O Reillys to check out what the code is. Also, this vehicle ran great about a week ago when I first got it. Parked it for 4 days and then when I got in it today, once I hit the interstate, it started acting up . Also I had the wheel cranked with the gas pedal barely down, and it died in the middle of the street. It started right up again afterwards, but I think it was just idling so rough that it could not overcome the draw of the power steering at idle.
