Okay I noticed this last night.
when I'm driving the engine feels like its stuttering, i mean it hesitats and then comes back.Kinda like I hit the clutch for a slight second, it disengages and re-engages. kinda like I'm slipping on ice for a second and then get grip.

I have a manual btw.

anyone have any ideas about whats happening.
I'm also going to be phoning ford today to see when I can take it to be checked.

dpfe?

Yeah, almost guaranteed the DPFE. I had the same symptoms as you list and had the DPFE replaced. Solved the problem, but 10,000 km's later and I think the problem is surfacing again.

I really need to get a new engine.....hmmm, 2.3L anyone?

 

[Johnny 5]

yah thats what I'm thinking of doing, a 2.3L.

too bad my moms car wasn't auto (possible engine swap eheheh

)

Thats something I'm definately doing after my warranty is done

welcome to the club

You have just been introduced the the infamous "Focus Stumble"

Has anyone gotten any crap on the sensor with bolt-ons?

You'd want to search in Team-tech or problems rather than the tuning forum though.

Moving over to Team Tech. Thanks.

And good luck.

Do a search for DPFE and you will see what the problem is.. Take it in to the dealer and have them look at it. It's a VERY common problem.

I took the liberty of doing the search for you.
