Ford Mondeo engine shuts off while driving

[stevheng]

Just picked up the car, this is the report that they produced. Looks like more problems!

Anything related to the car shutting down?

So Ford only had the car last week and did updates / check for fault codes?
All clear?
Now you get that list...WTF!

Yes, I took it to Ford, and they basically brushed me off and said they couldn't find anything after hooking it up to the computer. They were about to charge me $130 for the privilege but they decided to waive it because I had waited an hour more than the time they said it would be done by. Mind you, I dropped it off at 7.40AM and was told to come back at 4PM.

This report came from an independent mechanic, he said he has cleared all the codes, and told me to come back in a week so they can scan again and compare results to see which is one showing up again so they can look deeper in to it.

One theory might be they didn't find anything because the computer died all of a sudden, without remembering what happened, so to speak.

Stalling is a very worrying concern. For a diesel engine to stall there should be:

Interruption to air supply (check air intake for foreign bodies,leaves etc)

Interruption to fuel supply (water, air)

Valve mistiming (belt, camsensor)

PCM faulty intermittent (? replace)

Wiring harness short (how to test?)

Voltage too low (checkcharging/battery)

egr fault intermittent (how to test?)

Ideally Ford could provide a data logger to catch the next event, in reality I suspect we are not so technologically advanced as they would like us to think.
