Consumer Description

DIRVE THE CAR FOR 30 MINUTES OR LONGER (ENGINE IS HOT). STOP, AND RESTART IT FROM 15 TO 30 MINUTES LATER, AND THE CAR WILL CONTINUALLY STALL SO LONG AS THE CLUTCH IS COMPLETELY DEPRESSED. THIS WILL HAPPEN VERY PREDICTABLY UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. IT IS CLEARLY TEMPERATURE RELATED, AS RESTARTING THE CAR JUST 5 MINUTES LATER WHEN STILL VERY HOT, OR AN HOUR LATER WHEN COOLED DOWN, AND THERE IS NO STALLING. DEALER (ATHOL FORD) BELIEVES IT IS RELATED TO THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE, BUT REFUSES TO FIX IT, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS TAKEN IN WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. DEALER ALSO CLAIMS TO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY TSB RELATED TO THIS ISSUE.*AK
