Engine Stalling after Starting
Discussion
I've had my 2009 Mondeo 2.3 Petrol Auto for three years and it's been a fantastic car with virtually no problems at all with around 67,000 on the clock.
Recently I've noticed that when immediately after I start the car the revs will drop down and sometimes the engine will stall. Restarting then requires a little footwork on the accelerator pedal to stop it happening again.
The problem never occurs when the engine is cold, only after it has warmed up.
I was wondering if anyone can suggest what may be wrong and if it's a quick easy fix then I'd be prepared to have a go myself. Failing that it may need to go to my local Ford independent who are always pretty efficient and very reasonably priced.
Thanks in advance.
