My StreetKa keeps cutting out (latest)?

When ever im in traffic for a long time or the engine is idle for prolonged periods, and i put my foot on the accelarator, the revs totally die until the car cuts out. I find it only happens when the engine gets hot

The Car is only an '05 with 10800 miles on the clock, its 1.6, fuel injected. The car starts up straight after, there is no warning lights on the dashboard indicating anything is wrong.

I dont notice the problem at higher speeds although if i put my foot right to the floor the engine judders slightly and loses a little power

Any Ideas what it may be, im thinking its misfiring??

Cheers

Answers:
Lambarda sensor? It's not a dance! (try Lambda..)

Sounds like something in the engine management system. The throttle potentiometer which measures how far open the throttle is could be faulty.

As it's still pretty new I'd take it to Ford and see what they say about it.

Losing power could also be traceable to the coil pack, if it isn't firing the spark plugs with the correct current then spark wil be weak, leading to power loss due to incomplete combustion.

Good luck!
Get ford to sort it out under warranty
could be clogged fuel lines of clogged fuel filter. try replacing those before you bring it to a auto shop.
Sounds like its running to weak , have lambarda senser checked out
that's what you get for buying a ford(fix or repair daily) kak
