MK1 Focus 1.6 engine stalling?
This morning when slowing and dipping the clutch to change down to second gear to turn into a side road my engine cut out and hence the power steering didn't work and luckily i managed to re start it in time to carry on driving.
It also does this when approaching lights and dipping the clutch before coming to a halt the engine will die. This is happening more often, once or twice a week maybe. The battery is a Bosch item, relatively new and my voltmeter is showing high 13's/low 14's most of the time and it doesn't struggle to start in a morning.
Can anyone diagnose the problem?
Battery/alternator perhaps?
Cheers.

OK fellas thanks for that
It's also beginning to jerk sometimes. Last time it did this i changed the coil pack but that didn't help so i cleaned the MAF sensor with electrical contact cleaner. This seemed to do the trick as i was concerned that it was coated with the 'tacky' spray that i'd coated a pipercross panel filter with so i changed it for a K&N one so i suppose the coating off that could have done a similar thing over the last couple of years?
Lastly, best place for a new idle control valve?
Cheers guys...
