2000 Focus Problem, Need Help ASAP...
Ok, So I have a 2000 Ford Focus ZX3 as my DD. And recently when I drive it it shudders horribly when I give it gas, also the speedo, tach, and radio all jump when I give it gas. It has gotten to the point where I cannot drive it and its my only car with AC. So far I have reset the ECU by unplugging the battery for 10 minutes and also checked the EGR system. Anyone have any clue, Im stumped. Oh and if it helps the car only has 60k on it.

Maybe, would that cause the Speedo to jump tho, even when its in neutral and the car is stopped, it'll jump to 10mph.

No check engine light, and it isn't throwing any codes, Ill check the battery and grounds later today. Also I just found this while on another forum and it sounds like my problems to me. What do you think? And if its a service bulletin does that mean ford will fix it or is that only with recalls. Thanks.

Yeah it sounds like a ground issue. I had it happen on the cobra a few months ago.
