02 escape v6 stalling
my 2002 xlt escape more and more frequently keeps stalling only when i shift to reverse. it stalls no matter if just started when cold or when been driving for a while. anyone have any idea what may be wrong and if it could be an easy fix for me to do myself.

Re: 02 escape v6 stalling
The most common causes are a vacuum leak or a sick Idle Air Control solenoid (IAC).
You can check for a vacuum leak by CAREFULLY spraying carb cleaner or Ether (starting fluid) around the vacuum lines and intake gasket areas, BUT only do this after a careful visual inspection has not shown any problems. In the absence of any vacum leaks, the IAC solenoid is suspect. They are very easy to replace, and are not expensive. I suggest that ONLY Ford/Motorcraft electrical parts be used due to thei higher quality and similar price. |
