Now on to a proper answer you may not have wanted lol

Does your Focus have the latest software update for the transmission? I just got mine done last weekend, and it's definitely sportier since the update... but no difference in idle. Although, you are not the only one to have mentioned the abnormal idle to the point of nearly stalling. What do the rpms drop to when it's about to stall out? Mine sits around 600rpm, never feels like it's about to stall though.. and has been this way before and after the software reflash. Also, how many km's does the car have? Lower kms may yield an unusual idle as well.

One more thing many people don't realize, is that the new transmission is constantly 'learning' your driving habits, adjusting it's clutch engagement constantly... this can feel rough if your used to a conventional automatic. When getting off the brake, the car will begin to engage the clutch. This may very well be the 'stalling' your referring to. This is normal believe it or not, after around 2000kms this will smooth out to be almost nonexistent.
