Default Focus 1.6 Zetec SE stutter under acceleration

Hi all,

I hope this is a quick one to solve, but my 52-reg 1.6 Zetec has a stutter under low-rev load, most noticable in 1st and 2nd gears. It's just like the power is cut for a fraction of a second, but happens once or twice when pulling off with low-revs.

The engine light did come on (as it does every 12 months without fail... ) but light has now gone off again. My friendly local garage put it on the diagnostics after the light went out but didn't narrow it down much beyond a possible sensor problem.

Any ideas for a quick fix? Would be eternally grateful not to have to pay another £50 to diagnose another £10 sensor...

Thanks loads,

Dave
