Default Why do you stall on me????

Hi guys,

Ive got a AU2 5 speed, its a 6. It runs like a dream, but i recently disconected the battery and once i re-connected it the car keeps stalling on me constantly.

I have reset the computer heaps of times, i even gave up after a week of trying and took it to Ford.... They charger me $80 to clean the throttle body and reset the codes and do a re-learn...

She was all good for a complete day and the problem came back.... Its so annoying....i have to start her up again after i stop at lights, give way signs, stop sign well anyting that requires me to clutch and slow down to 30kms..

If anyone has any ideas as to what this could be please let me know. I have her booked in to ford again on Monday but if i could sort it b4 then it would be great..

Thanx guys

Jason

Ive just had the same problem with my car, i cleaned my throttle body, removed and cleaned idle speed control valve, then reset base idle speed. the computer will relearn, it just takes a while

Clean ISC is a good idea.

with the engine turned off ,disconnect the idle speed contol valve .then get a 0.75 mm feeler gauge and place it between the idle screw and throttle body.start up your engine and it should be idling between 700/800 rpm.if it isn't ajust the idle srew accordingly .once you get it set right turn off your engine and reconnect the idle speed valve .restart your engine and away you go.

is the valve on the throttle body and does it have a red cap on it
