Default 02 Focus Dash & power loss issue.

Good day all.

Having trouble with my 1.6 02 Focus, firstly speedometerstops then mileometer goes off followedby like a miss at slow speed (30-40mph)while accelerating this is an intermittentproblem for the last few months but is now getting more common. I have justchanged the coil pack as had total failure to start about two weeks ago. Anyhelp would be great. Thank you.
