Check Battery? Make sure Alt is putting out...sometimes you do get a bad one...Mine blew at 34,000 miles...I went to Autozone...it was like $140 over the $350 for factory....anyway low voltage makes the focus do weird things...so i was told....

Found out it was EVAP problem, from the cpm he installed to check the code, I have to get it "smoked tested". Got my spark pulgs, wires, pcv and fuel filter replaced. Lights shut off but will check my fuel mileage for the next week.

Back to the dealer i go
