2003 Ford Focus no acceleration
My missus's trusty 03 Focus has developed a rather bad problem, she was coming back from the shops this morning and it started to die on her, she managed to get it back home and i took it for a drive, It idles fine and revs in neutral no problem and when initially accelerating off it seems OK but after driving for half a k or so when trying to accelerate it just dies, still idles fine, doesn't cut out at all but just no acceleration, I could sort of idle home but give it any revs it just dies back, not cutting out just very weak acceleration, Also I'm pretty sure i can hear some pinking that was never there before.
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

Blocked Catalytic convertor.

Guys the problem is a blocked catalytic converter or partial blockage of your exhaust system. How I found out mine is by taking one of the o2 sensors out and starting it for ONLY a little while because you can burn things like wires ect. But it allowed my 2.3l focus to rev all the way and no more bucking while driving and it ran like a little rally car again! So I will try to unclog the debris that is in the exhaust by debris I mean the insides of my cat that rattled apart after awhile. Good luck.
