My Ford Focus 2000 Diesel got the same problem when driven 300.0000 km. The engine kept dying while driving long distances. Sometimes it could die every km and sometimes I could drive for hours without problem. The accelerator was changed (110 €) and the problem disappeared. Afterwards I opened the old accelerator and found out the carbon stripes were worn out on the 5 cm piece of plastic. I guess that small piece would have cost 50 c if replaced.
- But they don’t repair them even if it could have been done in 10 minutes!
