I have a 2002 Ford Focus, when driving down the road, it jerks hard and the radio/ac cut off, the lights flicker. It will do that for a few seconds then stop and be normal. I have put in the shop twice and the mechanic cannot seem to figure it out. What could this be? I should also mention that yesterday the "check engine light" came on briefly. I have a Actron OCB II scanner...it threw 2 codes...P0705 and P1237. Help please.

As the problem is intermittent, the pcm may clear the codes when it sees fit. These codes are unrelated in terms of the circuits involved, but they could be related through a connector or an issue with the junction box in the engine compartment. Look around under the engine for any wires that are loose that may be touching a hot manifold or exhaust pipe. Repair any damaged wires. If there was no damage, suspect some damage near the junction box. Was the car in an accident? Has someone been in the box recently?

your code is or the following. Fuel Pump Secondary Circuit Malfunction. This may involve removing your gas tank to fix. Go to the parts store and they can get you the parts you need and let you know for sure.

Generally the computer is reading a problem with the fuel pressure being to high or to low. The ICP is one problem it could be and you changed it. The other could be Fuel pressure regulator control solenoid or problems with the injector (s).

Sounds Like your o/2 is bad, are you burning e-8, try adding some injector cleaner/seafoam, and put a tank of preimu gas in then reset the code.

Its your pcv and the hose running from your pcv to the top it should have a hissing sound if so follow it and move the hose around make sure hose aint pinched somewhere not allowing air flow.

I have a 2000 ford fucas, when lights are on while driving down road, lights shut off or flicker by themselves, at that time the transmission begins to shifts funny and sometimes shifts funny at take off.

It sounds like you may have a loose or broken ground wire somewhere that is causing both problems. The transmission shifting is done electrically. I would get it checked, before you damage the transmission.

Sound like the car is not recharging the battery as you drive. Take it to a different shop and ask them to test the alternator and entire charging system as well as the battery.
