What’s causing my engine to stall?

[Lance Flanagan]

Hi all,

Ford1.8 zetec – 4 cylinder – petrol (gas) – manual

Occasionally the engine will stall when slowing down to a stop. The idle seems ok (steady at about 700rpm) and I’ve not got any Check Engine lights.
The clutch pedal feels fine and the engine is otherwise smooth and running well.

Could anyone tell me where i should start looking?

thanks

is this happening only after the vehicle is up to operating temp? or does it start before then?
I would definitely look at vacuum leaks or the EGPD valve

I’ll leave this here for you

although you do note that your idle is good, its a start.

Now you mention it, it tends to happen when cold.

Handy link, thanks
