Default focus mk1 stuttering/shacking

Hi all,

Focus mk1 1.4 petrol 2001 model,

Wife's car have issue when going round bends and under acceleration not heavy as the wife isn't a girl racer. Seems to be when ever gong round bends and some times in a straight line is shakes/stutters. (like its starving it self or something) I was thinking fuel filter. Not really sure how to describe it. But its like your dipping the clutch in and out. and it just wants to die. No warning lights on dash as of yet, haven't taken it to a garage yet to get it plugged in and checked, thought id ask on here in case its a common fault somewhere. I have had a look on here but couldn't really mind much.

It does it when it wants, so I can't pin point as in hot or cold. fast or slow. It happened to me so I know its not the wife going mad. But it happens to the wife more than me as its her car and she is getting on at me. Happy wife is a happy wife they say.

Any help would be great or any advice would be great.
