My 00 ford focus will start and it will start cutting out like it isnt getting the right amount of fuel. I can get it going down the road but i can only press the gas very slow or else it will cut out. If i am going down the highway and get it going i can floor it and get it up to 80mph, but if i let off the gas it will cut out again. Can anyone help me figure it out?
 
It sounds like you might have a vacuum leak. Often times, an engine will run erratically when the vacuum lines are plugged or damaged. Come to think of it, if you see any hoses of any type that are unplugged or damaged, reattach or repair them right away.
 
And you think it is the air filter? Why don't you check the air filter to see if it needs replacing? I mean that is a preliminary thing. You should check your fuel filter as well.
