Stalls when stopped

Ford Focus 2011 1.6 hatchback 67044 miles
When stopping the engine just dies. I was told it was the petrol, so changed that from E10 to E5 and still the same issue. I have had a full service and asked the mechanic then and he suggested changing the petrol as this was happening before that service. Would it be the timing belt has slipped or blocked fuel filter, but again I'm told that this model dose not have a fuel filter.

Intermittent starting/running

Ford Focus 2007 Automatic 102000 miles
Car will turn over & fire up but then snubs out right away. If you push on gas as it's turning over sometimes it will keep running until you release gas pedal - then it snubs right away. This happened for a few days, got it to a shop when it started & ran fine. It was there a week & of course no issue. Picked it up, stopped 2 places on way home & started with no issues. Got home (about 13 mile drive) & paked in garage. Next am went to leave for work and same problem. Tried several times a day for 4 days & same thing. Towed it to shop thinking they'll get to see problem… Read complete

Won't start at all

Ford Focus 2001 1.6 se wagon 193580 miles
Last night I changed the fuel filter in my car after it died. It would crank but wouldn't start. Sounded like it wasn't getting enough gas so we figured it was a clogged fuel filter. Then it still didn't do anything. Now this morning it's not even trying to crank it's just making a click noise when I turn the key. I have no idea where to even start with it.

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.

Recently changed fuel pump

Ford Focus 2001 Se 132000 miles
So I recently had my fuel pump changed along with fuel filter and what they told me was like the main artery of my oil. Now my car has been running rough it stalls out and when I push the gas pedal the car dies , I have trouble getting it started and when I do it starts to shake and die. Long story short I took it to another auto shop , they had many error codes from diagnostics and found all the sensors were fine and when they replaced a wire on my Maf it's still dying when they press the gas pedal. So they said I have a short , could the other auto shop done somethings to my car? It never has done this
