Default ST nearly stalled rough idle

I was driving around yesterday, just putting around after going shopping when I pulled up at traffic lights, foot on the clutch and brake, my car idled right down then up to 1400rpm then down and I say I my foot on the accelerator to a teeny bit hoping it wouldn't stall. Anyone got any thoughts on it, 1st time it's done it and it only done 6000km

Do not pass go, do not collect $200...go directly to dealer!

I'm having the same issue with mine....have it booked with the dealer this week. Also had it stall a few times when pulling up and depressing the clutch.

Mines done it once, annoying for it to happen. Luckily didn't stall

Don't know if this is your exact problem or not but it would appear you are not alone :(

Found a similar thread on another O/S forum and again replacement of part of the engine wiring harness was mentioned as resolving the issue

Would be interested to know how things went with the dealer......I took mine in yesterday and typically, they could not replicate the issues I was having. They did some software updates and so far it seems OK. The only thing is the idle increasing when you depress the clutch (when the car is stopped) before selecting first gear. I'm not sure if you are having the same issues??

Ok....car stalled again over the weekend and the hunting idle thing happens at the same time....this is getting very frustrating.
