Hi,

I just bought a 5 yr old Ford Mondeo. This problem occured twice. As I start the engine and drive for a few metres, the engine stalls and I had to restart the car to run again. Pls advice on what the problem could be?
Thank you very much

A Ford diagnostics test should pick something up. If could be one of a number of issues such as fueling etc. an engine diagnostics sweep is worth it.

I have an 04 plate which I bought in 05 and Ford still can't fix the problem. It has been in and out of Ford having 'diagnostic' checks for the past 15 months (at least 12 times). The problem has got worse not better. So far I've paid for a new fuel rail injection system and various other bits and pieces. They did ask me if I knew how to drive an automatic and insist that the problem doesn't happen with them - only if they don't drive it! It stalled three times on me at lunch time ... Please let me know if you found the answer?

Thanks!
SQ
