Be sure to check the fuel pressure regulator. It sits just before the fuel rack for the injectors. FYI Ford is out of them till Nov. and they cost about $100+. I got one for free at a junk yard. You need to pull the fuel rail to remove and replace the reg.

Changing the spark plugs to my 01 focus made no change in this type behavior. I changed the Throttle Position Sensor, and it runs better than ever before. Very inexpensive repair, and no more stalls when sitting at an intersection.

I have a 2013 Ford focus SE HATCHBACK that has the recalls on the transmission, I took it to the local dealer as we have begun experiencing the shudder and loss of power and the dealer just called stating it is the actuators which of course are not under the recall and said it is going to cost $2,500 and that it may not fix the problems and may have to be brought back of the shudder isn't fixed. I don't have that kind of money laying around and do not know what to do or if they are trying to rip me off which to me is what it sounds like. HElp!!!!! 10 Answers
