Hey! Having some issues with my Ford C-Max (2007) and wanted to ask if anyone’s had something similar happen.

So the car starts having trouble when I shift into first and give it a bit of gas - if I give it too little gas it just dies. Now it’s started doing the same thing in second gear too. When I first start the car and let it idle, the RPM drops every 10-15 seconds or so (from about 900), but it gets better after running for a while.

Got the yearly checkup recently and everything was fine, but then this started happening. Also got a check engine light that keeps going on and off every other day. It’s pretty cold here, like 5 degrees if that matters.

I’m going to take it to a mechanic when I have time but wanted to ask here first if anyone knows what it might be? Maybe the MAF sensor or something with the idle control?

Thanks!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    Thanks all, already went by my mechanic once to get the codes, but no engine light or error was present just as i started it then 🥲
