Why is my Vauxhall Zafira Life stalling when I start it?

I just bought a used Vauxhall Zafira Life and I have noticed that it stalls for a few seconds when I start the engine. Is this normal or is there something wrong with my car?

Jessica, this could be caused by a few different issues. It's important to have the car checked by a mechanic to determine the root cause. In the meantime, make sure to warm up the engine before driving and avoid high revs when starting.

Hi Jessica, it's not normal for a car to stall when starting. It could be a problem with the fuel system, spark plugs, or even the battery. Take your car to a trusted mechanic for a thorough inspection.

Jessica, I had a similar issue with my Zafira Life and it turned out to be a faulty crankshaft sensor. Have your mechanic check this component as it can cause stalling during start-up.
