FOCUS TDCI 2002 EARLY MORNNG ENGINE FAILURES

Hi All, Problem:- Car starts OK but after about a 1/4 to 1/2 mile engine cuts out.Numerous attempts to restart are successful but after a few seconds engine cuts out again., either in idle or revs.Finally runs and is eventually OK for rest of the day.

OR

Car starts OK and is left to idle. after 3/4 minutes engine cuts out and reverts to above for starting sequence.

OR

doing 70 miles / hour and approaching roundabout change down to 4th and whilst doing so engine cuts out.

2 weeks to go of warranty and booked in but advise would be helpful. Brian

Is the problem more likely to occur when the gas tank is low or on curves (clover leaf or round-about) at speed?

The TSBs are for US cars only. They won't cover the TDCi. Plugged or dirty EGR valves on the TDCi have been a cause of rough running, so perhaps in an extreme case it could cause the stalling you are experiencing?
