2003 Focus stutters accelerating between 60-80 km

Has 54000 km, serviced regularly, when accelerating between 60-80 km, stutters (for want of a better word) but doesn't stall. When checked on the computer diagnosis nothing found. I get great gas mileage - 500 km per 40 litre tank city driving. Is this the fuel injector?

What engine code is stored in the computer? You may have a bad TPS (throttle postioning sensor), or a bad O2 sensor. Auto Zone can retrieve the code for you, and tell you what sensor it is related to.

Check or replace EGR valve and evpf sensor since they control idle speed.

SOURCE: engine stalls

The throttle position sensor has a small amount of adjustment in it. The plastic case has a slight slot in it. On the opposite side of the TPS on the air horn you will see a throttle stop with a hard to move screw. You need to get some play on that screw to have slack to adjust the TPS. I think it was good for 100+rpm at base idle.
This may help you, but check you EGR for diaphram and carbon buildup.

Take it to your local mechanic to get an OBD code check. It should tell you the problem, and you can get an estimate on the fix unless you want to do it yourself. It could be a fuel filter issue.

Ignition coil is most likely..clogged injector is uncommon but possible..fuel injector cleaner can only do so much..coil would be the thing to start with..

2003 ford focus coded p1300

The code translates as:
P1300 = Boost Calibration Fault.
There is a leak somewhere in you turbo system. A loose pipe clamp, a cracked or split pipe or possibly a stuck blow off valve (dump valve). Get the whole system checked by a specialist. That should explain the loss of power.

Car stutters/ hesitates

Well I am not a mechanic, but I am fairly handy with a wrench. My initial suspect would be some sort of transmission issue whether it be mechanical or sensor related.Is it more noticeable when accelerating slowly vs. a quick acceleration? That could mean a torque converter. When is the last time that you had the transmission fluid changed? A good shop should be able to rule out many issues by looking at the fluid that comes out (looking for metal shavings and the like). Taking your car to a transmission specialist may be your next viable option. Hope this helps

My ford focus ZX5 2003 runs very well. In hot season after starting I can run as many km I want. But if I run it few km and turn off, again start it and run for some more km by doing so When I start it...

Sounds like your FANS aren't working correctly or you are low on coolant,or dirt in radiator or air blockage in the fins. You DO have at least a 50% antifreeze solution in there,right? don-ohio
