Hi all you mechanics out there?

Wife has a Ford Fiesta automatic. When cold the vehicle stalls when it comes
to a stop.

I didn't think it was possible to stall an automatic.

Any ideas what's wrong.

TIA.

DAB.

This NG is intended for Ford Focus owners.

It might be better to ask this in uk.rec.cars.maintenance. It may also be
worth Googling the newsgroups as, from memory, Fiestas stalling is a common
problem
