Ford C-MAX keeps stalling when idling
My Ford C-MAX petrol 57 plate runs well but keeps stalling when idling. It restarts okay. The Ford garage is unable to find a problem and nothing shows on diagnostics. Any advice?

Maybe the mass airflow sensor, may be the idle control valve, may be the throttle position sensor, may be dirt in the fuel blocking the fuel filter. Take it to a good independent garage where you deal with the owner of the garage.
