    ⭐VIDEO DESCRIPTION⭐
    My 2012 Ford Focus was having some issues. When pressing the gas the car would stall, shutter almost feel like it was going into neutral. It was also having problems shifting through the gears. I used a OBD2 scanner to pull the codes because the engine light was on. It came up with two codes both of them pertaining to ECM/PCM. After that, I did some research and heard about clearing the ECM (Engine Control Module). Wanted to take you on the Journey of clearing the ECM to see if that would fix the issue. It actually fix the problem.

    Take both termals off and jumper cables to each end of terminals let sit to clear the computers and compassoters for 20 minutes put hot wire on first then ground back on to battery then turn key on dont start for 1 min. Then start it let idle till fully warmed up so the throttle sets its low and high then go driving normal driving above 35 mph for more than 25 miles . And need to replace the acuators are bad brand new when first built . Recall on them there your shifting motors .
