specs are 2000 ford focus with 61000 miles on 2 ltr engine. car is in great shape, automatic and air-conditioning. brand new fuel pump. when driving the car around a long right hand turn, (off ramp kind of thing) the engine cuts out. like it shuts off but not quite off. when the turn ends, we are good to go again. next, the car wont rev high. like if you wanted to pass a car, it cuts out. I don't have a tach but my guess is 3500rpm ish. thats it. nothing higher, no matter what gear. I had a check engine light, and the code was a maf issue, I cleaned it off and cleared the code so now there has been no check engine light for a few days. this confuses me, I would expect a code but none are present. any insight you may have would be great. thankyou.
I had a 2000 Ford Focus Wagon. There was kind of a "quiet" recall on the 2000 Focus. It was "quiet" in that nothing is fixed until you complain...then it is fixed. I am sure there was a TSB (Technical Service Bulliten) issued on the subject. They have to go in and modify the gas tank to cure the issue. On my car...I would be driving down the road and it would die. Pull to the side of the road and it would fire right up again and keep driving. Might happen 3 times a day...might not happen again for (3) weeks. When I first googled it....read lots of horror stories. Finally Ford issued a TSB on it. Hope this rambling helps some.
My mom had a 02 and a long story short ....if it doesn't have the Ztech motor get rid of it my moms car had about 120,000 and what the problem is that the valve seats break then drop into the piston chamber and then kabooooom clunk clunk clunk clunk catastrophic failure
