’02 Ford Focus, stuttering and then stalling out.?

On a recent trip to Florida we had the experience of our Ford Focus stuttering and then stalling out. We would have to pull over to the edge of the highway, wait for about 10 minutes and then could start it up and drive again for a couple hundred miles. As soon as we got to our destination, we took it to a mechanic that could not find anything wrong with it. We drove home after our weeks vacations after driving it through-out the vacation without any problems. It again would stutter and stall out after about 400 miles of driving. We would again wait about 10 minutes and then start it up again to finish the days driving. We have had suggestions ranging from the recent water being added to gas, to bad fuel pump, fuel filter needing changing, Oxygen sensor in fuel line gone bad, or just basically the car not being used to driving on long distance trips. Any suggestions?? Our mechanics are baffled.


Water 4 Gas

OK. FORD FOCUS had issues with fuel pumps, specially when they got less than a half of tank they shut themselves out . What u can do is call a dealer and tell them you have that problem and tell them that if they can check if there are any recalls that apply to your car(have the VIN number ready).just in case they ask you.

Try to do that first and see if helps. By the way, If the recall applies to you, you should not be charge. Good luck
