First timer here with a question about my wifes 2004 Ford Focus ZX3.
She called me on her way to work saying that her car was shutting off at stop lights. I picked it up and drove it home and it didn't start shutting off on me until 10 minutes into the drive. It happens in Drive and Park. I noticed that the coolant level was low so I topped that off. I started it up and it shut off about 1 minute later. I started it up again and ran the A/C and it idled fine for 5 minutes while I went inside, washed my hands. Came back out and drove it a few miles sitting at stop lights and whatnot with no problems. EXCEPT I noticed that the A/C was not blowing out of the dash vents. Came home, left it idling in park for a few with no problems other that the A/C not blowing correctly, but when I turned the A/c off, the engine cut off a moment later.
Where to start?[?|]
