There is no "Governor Chip" all engine functions are controlled by a "ECU" or "Engine Control Unit"

There are 2 Governors in the ECU a Rev Governor and a Speed Governor. The rev governor prevents you from Over revving the engine at park or neutral (It prevents you from going over redline in gear) which will DESTROY your transmission pump. The speed governor is in place to prevent your vehicle from exceeding a speed at which the car would become uncontrollable or unstable.

The governors can be otherwise be removed or moved to higher RPMS by using a "Tuner" which costs in the neighborhood of $300 USD, and typically requires extensive knowledge about the engine (to not destroy it.)

Either way, On these vehicles, it is not recommended you remove or move the governors without engine/suspension modification to allow the vehicle to handle the extra speed/rev's

What can you do about the governor on an 2000 Ford Focus ZX3?

i am afraid that there is not much that you can do a bout the governer in your focus. that is a element that is preprogrammed into the pcm (powertrain control module) the only thing that you may be able to do is purchase a chip that has the capability to bypass this feature. other than that there is nothing that canbe done
