Hey iīm from sweden so my grammatics and spelling could be fun sometimes.

Car: Ford escort 1997 GT 1,8 Zetec

Problem: Driving the car at 3000 rpm and when pushing the clutch
and start braking the car goes from 3000 rpm to zero and dies.

On idling the car for 15- 20 seconds jumps between 500 - 1500 rpm then it is calming down.

The problem occut when the car is cold and warm

A mechanic told me he thougt it was a electric problem but was not sure.
I had it on service but the guy couldnīt solve the problem.

any suggestions

Thx.
