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.

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.

@edwarrd This is a case of fuel starvation . There are many possible reasons for the fuel starvation . The best thing to do is check for engine codes ,OBDII codes . The most probable issue would be fuel lines leaking of a plugged fuel filter. If this brings no joy then move on the sensors . Clean the Map sensor and clean the throttle body . Check your o2 sensors. You can also check for back pressure on the fuel tank . test this buy running the car without the fuel cap . there could also be a plugged Catalytic convertor. Is the car overheating when this is happening ? If so it could be a timing issue . it could be a bad timing belt or chain and the pinging your hearing is bad timing. The best thing to do is get the codes read . When you do let us know your codes and we can help further. Hope this helps

Sounds to me like the coil pack.. 30 quid second hand, 4 screws, 4 spark leads and a sensor wire to be swaped over..back on the road.

Get a new version updated OEM coil pack. The old ones are designed to fail. One huge problem solved. Trust me. Been there 3 OEM coil packs. 10 years one updated coil pack later perfection.
