    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.

    no race car? becuz homeowner...

      Put new plugs in it.

      At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

        talked to the previous owner, it has brand new plugs in it. I read up on a common problem in these things being a DPFE sensor. im going to check the code in the morning.
