Ford Focus speedo drops...engine cuts!!!

Car: Ford Focus
Variant: 1.8 Zetec
Model Year: 1998
Categories: Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights
MY speedo drops whilst driving and there's a massive drop in performance power. its fine whilst im moving but as soon as i begin to stop and put the clutch down i lose all power! Ive taken it to 2 separate garages who've run both electrical and engine diagnostics but as it never seems to happen when its in the garage they keep telling me my car is fine!
