Hi,

Looking for some help with a couple of issues my 59-plate Focus has developed.

I bought the car 13 months ago and everything has been fine... until recently. When turning the ignition on, the yellow engine warning and ABS/TC lights come on and remain on until about 15/20 seconds after I start the engine. As well as this, I can't operate the electric windows until the warning lights go out.

Once the car is moving, everything is fine - no warning lights and no issue with the windows. But the next time I start the car, the issues return. There are seemingly no other electrical issues - no other warning lights or inoperable electrics. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Also, the car is trying to stall itself when in neutral. When slowing to a stop (traffic lights, etc.), I go down through the gears until about 10/15mph when I take it out of gear. As I bring the car to a stop the revs keep dropping and the engine begins to stutter - if I don't push the clutch in, the engine stalls. What could be causing this? How could it be fixed?

Thanks in advance for any help.
If any more info is needed, please don't hesitate to ask and I'll do my best to answer.

:-)
