Ford Focus rev counter hunting, air con starting up automatically and car stalling
Variant: 1.6
Model Year: 2005
Categories:
Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
This is an intermittent problem.
It never happens when the car is cold only once it's warmed up. It also only happens when I'm going very slowly or when the car is stationary. It never happens if I'm travelling at 30mph or faster.
The rev counter starts hunting, the car sometimes stalls and the air con starts up automatically.
It's been back to the garage several times, but they've not solved the problem.
Any ideas?
