Yagami Takaishi asked:
I have a 2002 Ford Focus and have had no problems with it other than a latch on door which was recalled and repaired. It has about 133,000 miles and gets regular maintence from ford dealer. It just started the past week or so with this problem. When I start it the car sounds as if it is going to stall but does not. It kind of vibrates a bit and then calms down and runs fine. I am concerned that it is something expensive as I am on retirement which means a fixed income. Does anyone have an idea what the problem is? Thank you very much.
