Ford Focus speedometer not working properly

Get this car to a garage as soon as possible it sounds very unsafe.

sounds like the speedo only cuts out as a result of the bigger problem.could be imobilisor or coil pack problem causing engine to cut out.id try a coil pack 1st if no good it will have to go to a good auto electrician to check imobilisor modual.these have been a problem in the past.other problems have been crank angle sensors braking down when hot but will usually restart when cool.all problems expensive though not too bad ford parts reasonably priced.

Hi, i have exactly the same problem as you. my car is constantly cutting out causing a few near misses! I had the diagnostics done but it came up as no problems. I have been told that it is the idle control valve causing the car to cut out, they cost around 40 pounds from ford. Also my speedo rarely works, when driving on the streets i use the rev counter to know what kind of speed im doing! Aswell as the speedo not working tha mileage counter also stops working, i dont know if this is linked to the idle control valve as havent got around to getting one yet but the more i read the more likely it looks. Hope this has helped you.
