for the last two weeks my 1.6 16v focus has been running like crap and cost me a small fortune but to no avail. It starts up fine from cold and runs ok but doesnt idle properly, once it's warmed up I loose power, if I very gently touch the gas it will slowly speed up but and harder and nothing. The odd thing is if I switch off the ignition for a few seconds and start the car again everything is back to normal for a mile or so until it does it again. I have changed the lambda sensor, idle speed sensor, plugs, leads. If anyone has any experiance of this sort of prob PLEASE HELP!!!!
