Hi
Could someone help me out please. I have an R reg 1.8SI Escort, and of late it has started to cut out when I stop, it does not do it all the time and starts straight back up with no problem, the thing is when it did it the other night I had slowed down to turn left at the traffic lights, it cut out the only reason I knew was the steering was hard to turn and I nearly hit some bollards.
Could it be the air flow meter? this has been mentioned to me but i have also been told that if it was this then it wouldn't start straight away like it does. I had put injector cleaner in. Can anyone point me in the right direction before I have to spend on all kinds before finding the problem!
Thanks in advance

as i put in another post on here the pcv hose is quite common on these for sucking flat or piercing.try taking idle valve off and clean it.that might help

When my escort gti had idling problems it turned out to be the throttle position sensor
