Stalin Rover

[Loocfox]

I have a Rover 216 automatic 1600cc every winter the car starts first time but when i have gone down to the first junction and stopped to look the car stalls, i then put it in P the car starts then i put it in D it stalls same again start in P go to D it stalls eventually trying to keep the revs up i manage to go, but sometimes it might stall again if i stop. It only ever does this the very first stop of the day all the rest of the day its fine, in the summer i have no problems at all, i have had the ECU updated, paid �300 but it is still the same HELP please anyone, it is a P reg.

Sounds like a fueling problem when the engine is cold - maybe a faulty sensor. Try allowing the car to heat up a bit before starting off in the morning - let it tick over for 10 mins and see if this cures the stalling. If it does then you need to look at the cold fueling sensor.

Leave it the way it is, this was happening to my girlfriends fiesta last winter - she came out the house one day and found it abandoned at the end of our street - the thieves must have thought it was out of petrol !.
