Ford Focus C-max 2007 Diesel Stalling Problem

I have major problems with my Ford Focus C-Max.


Problem:

I sometimes get stalling problems when I drive in lower gear or even when I am putting the car in Drive or Reverse. I start up the car in Park and everything is fine, then i put it in gear or reverse and the car stalls. I manage to put it in "manual" and put it in second gear then full throttle and It's OK. I bought the car in January 2014 and the problem started in the summer.


I have had the car at many dealerships/Workshops and no one have been successful with solving the problem. (Even Ford Norway has no clue what it is) February this year they changed the EGR Valve and the car was fine for 7 months until now. Today they had full Diagnostics and they found nothing wrong with the car. They checked the gear and Diesel particulate filter and all was fine.


Parts that have been replaced that mechanics assumed was causing the problem:


Diesel particulate filter

EGR Valve

Mass flow sensor




Any tips would be appreciated
