Certainly have my focus did exactly the same called in my usual Ford dealers told them the exact same symptoms you have described expecting to see a lot of head scratching but no they knew exactly what I was talking about. A faulty throttle potentiometer was diagnosed and a new one fitted no trouble since and that was over a year ago. No idea of cost though one of the benefits of a company car. Good Luck!
