My 2000 focus zx3 standard started missing when I would first take off or
right after I would shift gears (under a load).  It acts like the electrical
system is shutting it down.   At first I thought it was the throttle position
sensor because it would act up (stumble) when I would ...

Just recently my 2002 1.8 focus has started growling from underneath when in
gear but dose not when idling. Could it be the exhaust or a bearing or the
gearbox?. All sound expensive which should i start on first. Many thanks in
