Why did the engine cut out on my Ford Fiesta?
Why did the engine cut out on my Ford Fiesta?
It’s been absolutely fine since then until today when I was going down a pretty steep hill. I stopped at the traffic lights at the bottom of the hill and when i stopped, the car completely cut out. The engine and battery light came on and I had to turn the key to start the engine again.
What did I do when my Fiesta cut out?
However the Tuesday after, I was driving along and the car cut out, the steering went very heavy and the engine light came on but only for a second or two and then went back to normal before I could even react. I was at this point going down a hill whist braking around a corner.

Why does my Ford Fiesta lose power steering?
the heavy steering is due to loss of pump assistance when the engine dies i would agree check the IAC valve. Ive always found it a bit worrying that you lose power steering when the engine isnt running.
