I got a brand new ford ka 2014 last week. I passed my test a year and have been nervous to drive. Initially everything was fine but then I began to stall (may I add that I stalled one time during my entire course of lessons). It has stop start technology and after the stall I was really struggling to get going again as it seemed to cut out. I was blaming myself and everyone told me that it with new cars until you get used to it. I turned start stop off and this helped- less stalling incidents and I was able to restart and get going first time when it did occur. I had a couple of
People try the car and they said that it seemed to need extra revs when emerging from junction etc so I did this and it seemed better for a while. I went out driving last night and two warning lights were on for the entire journey and when I was stationary with the engine running. These were; injection system failure and engine oil sensor failure. When I started up after checking these out in the manual they were gone again.
I'm trying to. Get a hold of the dealership to have it looked at but I would like to know if these faults could contribute to the stalling problem as I'm getting a bit of a complex about driving. I'm really trying hard to fix what I'm doing wrong but can't seem to find a solution. It might just be me but I would like to know either way.
Added (1). I only have the stalling problem when emerging or starting at traffic lights and not consistently. I can start of the car for a journey without a problem and my gear changes are smooth.
Added (2). Actually I only have the problem when I come to a complete stop and need to get moving again.
