i have a 2000 focus an it keeps cuttin out i have taken it to 2 different
shops with two different computers and no luck with either one, also i
have no codes stored in my computer.
so far i have changed the battery, spark plugs,fuel filter, added water
remover, higher octane gas.
at first it seamed like bad gas but then i noticed it got worse with the
ac or defrost running.

Most likely a clogged fuel pump filter, an all too common Focus problem.
Covered by an extended warranty, something like 10 years, 100,000 miles.
Note: this is not the same as the fuel line filter that you had replaced.

is that the one you have to get in the tank with the "careful you break it"
cutter to clip off the tabs and install new design fuel delivery module and
the gas looks wrong cause the inside of the tank is degrading due to
additives depending on where you live?

for all those interested ford is refusing to cover the warranty that is own
my pump ,
this is the second one it has needed in the past 11 months and they are
saying that the warranty runs out at 100 000 miles 10 years isnt true.

mean?

your problem is the idle control valve located in the cylinder head.  A
common problem with some Focus models.  The valve sticks.
