96 2.0 auto - revs dying when accelerating - Lachk
Hi all, just bought a 2.0 Auto Mk1 mondeo and have a few minor niggles.

This one is quite annoying and hopefully quite simple to resolve :D

When I start the car it is fine, then after about a minute, if I stop and then go to pull away again (lights etc) the revs drop to the point of stalling, if I boot it I can get away ok, but if I drive sensibly, it stalls.

Also happens when going into reverse, so I have to park in nice empty car parks and streets because reverse parking is impossible, either stalling or high revs to get into a space, not simple in an auto with no clutch to control the speed.

Have seen a few forums with basic info on it, but wanted some proper advice as to where to start before I replace 23 components that have been listed as the cause everywhere else.

Thanks in advance.
