Lack of maintenance.

If the check engine light is flashing that means an engine cylinder misfire

has been detected . You can drive it in for repair , just avoid any rapid

acceleration or deceleration because you can damage the catalytic

converter

What is the problem when the engine light switchs on and the revs are very low when at idle on a 2000 focus?

You need to seek a professional. There could be a multitude of problems. You could have a loose part in the engine bay, or you could have an oil problem, or you could have a transmission problem, anything. I would personally say you have sludge in your engine, depends on mileage and how you drive it. Of course I don't own a Focus. Again more reason to seek a professional.

Why is your Ford Focus engine light blinking?

You can disconnect the battery for 5 minutes and reset the computer. If there are problems still present, the engine light will come back on after a while. Try this first, then if the check engine light persists, there is a problem detected. And that will need the codes scanned. STOP! If the engine light is blinking it means there is damage being done. A steady light means there is a code you need checked. A flashing engine light is really bad. Pull over and get towed to your mechanic.
