Usually a hesitation that only occurs at high engine power means a fuel restriction. When's the last time the fuel filter was changed, and the lines and injectors cleaned?

Must be a very early prototype :)
Spark plugs and HT leads sound favourite.
Thanks for the advice.Should have read 2001 not 1991,well spotted Paul :). I picked it up 4 mths ago,supposedly serviced by the dealer but can never be too sure what they actually did.I'll take it to a local garage and get it checked out,thanks again.
Hi This happened also with my focus 1,6 wagon . After a while it appeared that "the sofware of the engine had to be revised" after that it was definitly better. i bought my focus in december 2003 production was around octyober 2003
