Hi all, i have a 2004 ford focus flight. He passed his mot but then on the same day (yep timing couldnt have been worse) i was driving home and suddenly felt like the engine was struggling to the point it nearly cut out, i had to limp to the nearest layby. After a rest though the car ran fine. Now ive done some work to the car, new cat, front and rear lambda sensors new, back box wielded, air filter, spark plugs, fuel filter, oil change and new filter and flexi pipe replaced this weekend coming. I get a cel saying its the cat, but its brand new, there is a tear in the flexi pipe, could this be the reason? Im leaning towards either new fuel pump 😑🙄 or sucking in to much air. Any ideas?

Also sometimes when braking or high speeds i get a noise that sounds like a flat tyre but deffo isnt, this one is baffling me as its only just started. New brakes, track rod end etc have been changed.

disregarding that this is an acura website...
you have a hole in an exhaust, and you dont think that could be your problem?

Obviously i do considering ill be replacing the flexi pipe this weekend 🙄 but im more interested to find out if others have had this problem and if it actually turned out to be the fuel pump

well, this is an ACURA website. Most dont have that problem that you are having,because well...we dont own the same car as you.

solve one problem at atime....
fix the hole..

you can also pull the fuel pump and check to see if it's pumping fuel...
if the fuel pump is pumping fuel, that's not your problem.

check the injectors.
