Focus 1.6 09 Zetec - Complete Loss Of Power While Driving

[FarleyUK]

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can help - really tearing my hair out over this!!

My 09 Focus has an intermittant issue - when I'm driving along (and sometimes while stationary), all power to the engine goes, and the engine cuts out. When I'm driving and it does it, it feels like I've hit the brakes; the revs carry on, but when I coast to a standstill, it stalls and cuts out. I can normally re-start it, but it happens 2 or 3 times in a row!

I'm not very technical I'm afraid, and it's just passed it's service - they couldn't see any obvious faults anywhere. I have had the DPF replaced as well, and this was happening prior to then (the DPF was causing a separate stuttering issue).

Thanks!
