Focus Mk 3 - Stalling At Low Idle - Is This Iac Problem?

[fuseman]

I have a 2011 1.6 Mk 3 focus. It runs fine in general but occasionally the engine dies at low revs - e.g. when slowing down in traffic. It starts again with no problem. Only happens once or twice a day. I can more or less simulate this when stationary by blipping the accelerator - the idle speed occ drops below 500 rpm and nearly stalls but usually recovers.

The engine management light doesn't come on and there are no fault codes stored.

I suspect idle control valve or IAC but I'm not sure what this engine has and what to try to clean or replace. There's a lot of posts about older models but not much on Mk3's

All advice appreciated.

Actually having looked into this a bit more I think it might be the throttle position sensor.

Anyone had a similar problem?

Longshot, but did you ever find out the cause of this? I am having the same problem with a 2011 mk3. Cheers
