Hey guys.
This car is dealing with me. It's a 2007 ford focus. (Station wagon). Trouble no 1: the parts are Very scarce. Trouble no 2: there are no mechanics that know how to fix it.
The problems I am having with it are:

Engine going off when slowing down at the traffic.

When at a stop, the engine revs itself, going up and down.

Engine making a whistling noise.

A brief rattling noise when I start the engine.

Please I need help, I am tired 😩.

I stay in Enugu.

Do you have this car and what are your experiences with it?

Do you know a good ford mechanic in Enugu?

First of all, look for a good auto mechanic with a good professional car scanner and run diagnosis on your car.

For the irregular idling issue (when at a stop, engine revs itself...); check your idle air control valve and/or throttle position sensor.

While I don't understand what you mean by "engine making a whistling noise", but check your air intake system. You may have a leak somewhere.

A brief rattling noise when I start the engine; you may have a worn fan belt or check your adjuster.

Anyways, scan the car first with a good professional scanner.

foodlum from Nairaland:

"Why is hardly no one talking about the absolute best of all.....the Ford Focus? That car is one of the best kept secrets of the auto industry. Solidly reliable as a rock! Its very economical too with low gas consumption and very easy to maintain. Just make sure you get a Focus with the DOHC engines. Those engines are indestructible. Very very reliable. Avoid Focus with the single overhead camshaft engines. They are made by Ford and they a nightmare. But the dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) engines are like Toyota engines. They are actually made by Mazda. Ford Focus engines and transmissions are Mazda made. The Ford Focus was a product of a joint venture between Mazda and Ford. Thats why they are so rugged and reliable. Ive had two of them in the past, the 2003 and 2004 models. Drove them on long distance trips endless times several times over many years from Georgia to Tennessee to South Carolina, North Carolina, West Virginia, DC, Delaware etc. Never had one single problem with them. Exceptionally reliable, smooth driving wonderful cars!"

This is definitely vacuum system issue. Check 1. Idle control valve, 2 throttle Head and finally all the vacuum lines. Pay particular interest on the vacuum lines, check for broken or damaged parts on the tubes and lines which could have been introducing unmetered air into the system.

Ford focus is a good car, so far you focus on the maintenance
