Default Focus st170

Hi I've got an st170 this morning when I was driving home I started to lose power,then when I tried to go up a hill I have zero power. Sounds like it is misfiring on tick over and when I tried to set off it was juking and didn't have much power. Can anyone come up with any ideas what it could be whats causing the problem?

Have heard by a mate that injectors are a common fault in the focus model, that's what I was told

That was my second thought. It's either not fuelling right or not sparking right. And the laters done so fuelling side of things
