I had two episodes of that, usually only after startup. Throttle body plug was loose, and eventually I replaced throttle body. I have replaced crap Ford garbage throttle bodies, 3 times.

Replaced fuel pump now car struggles to start

Ford Focus 2008  200000 miles
After replacing fuel pump, it ran good for a day then the check engine light comes on and if it turn the car off, it struggles to start back up. I went to AutoZone about the check engine code and the code was something like replace fuel pump, diesel pump only. I’m so lost and frustrated. Help! When I put the old pump back in, the check engine light goes away but car still is acting like it isn’t getting fuel. I replaced fuel filter a few months ago.
