When I start my 01 ford focus it keeps trying to die and shakes the whole engine. I have changed the coil pack, spark whires and its still doing the same thing. Im at a total loss at what to do.

It sounds like a vacum leak, check for any loose, cracked, collapsed or or broken hoses. Especially around the pcv valve.

If it is missing, it could be anything from spark plugs to injectors to pcm. There are so many possibilities.I would try another shop. You do not need a light or a code to diagnose an issue like this.

Glad to hear that. There is no reason why it can't be diagnosed with codes. Thanks for choosing 2 car pros.
