Q: My picasso car stalls when I slow down and also when I'm driving then restarts no warning lights stay on been scanned no faults.
My picasso car started stalling when I slowed down and since I have power steering could be scary. Took it to the garage they said nothing wrong with it. I found as well when I was driving it would stall then the engine would start again without me turning the key just with my foot on the accelerator. When I slow down the engine can cut out and it starts first time but I have to keep my foot on the accelerator. My car has been scanned for faults and nothing is showing up to why it is stalling. I had my clutch replaced as I found I had my foot right to the floor and thought this could be the problem but it is still happening. Some days are worse than others in the amount of times it stalls.
My car has 115302 miles.
My car has a manual transmission.
