Fiesta Stall Re-start Problem

Hi there,

We purchased a 2003 Fiesta Ghia and my husband is a new driver. The car runs well and starts relatively well, usually the first time albeit not instantly. As my husband is still learning he has the habit of stalling the car at times. When this happens the car will not re-start and it needs to be roll started. If the car is started from cold there is never an issue only when it's been stalled. 

Has anyone had this problem?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers, 

Claire

    Have you tried pushing the accelerator to the floor and then restarting?

    Be ready to take your foot off the gas as soon as it fires up though, otherwise you will be bouncing off the rev limiter.

    Has worked on the past 3 cars I've had.
