2001 Ford Focus SE fuel issues	Sign In

Hi I have a 2001 Ford Focus SE and there are some fuel issues I think that are going on. It will hesitate and somewhat putt while driving and especially up hills. It has 175k on the 4 cylinder engine and I have replaced the fuel pump and have also done a complete tune up. It also sometimes will die after starting it but will immediately start right back up. Just wanting to know what it could be and if it may be something that I can fix myself or if I am going to have to take it to the shop and have it fixed. Any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Check engine light on?

What did your complete tune up consist of?

Didn't know that 01 Focus were using distributors.

If you could get the computer scanned, you could find out what trouble code number(s) is stored. The code(s) may aid in giving you some direction for diagnosis.
