Hi All,
I've been driving my new Xcent for about 2.5 months now. The odo is 2100kms. Yesterday, I was stuck at traffic for about 5-6mins and the engine was running. When I released the clutch to move forward, it stalled. This was unexpected because, I've managed to stall only once in these two months. Today in the morning, while driving in traffic, stalled the engine again. This got me thinking if I'm doing something wrong.
I realized that from the beginning I've been applying small accelerator inputs while moving from stand still. While coming back from office today, I tried to start off from standstill without using accelerator input and it stalls very easily.
If I have to start with using accelerator and without stalling, I have to release the clutch very gradually in 2-4 seconds, any faster and it will stall.
Is this behavior normal for Xcent? Does it always need to accelerator input to started moving quickly even on flat surface?
