My 96 Windstar (3.8L rebuilt engine, as of last year) has issues with stalling, at idle. Seems to be a pattern: I'll drive it awhile at higher speed, like on the freeway. Then, perhaps get stuck in a traffic jam...start-stop driving. Get off the freeway, and stop at traffic lights. And that's when it will act up. Engine runs beautifully until then, when it will just cut out on me while idling! Sometimes it's hard to restart.
I've taken it to the local Ford dealer and had diagnostic done (Check Engine light was on). They said it was the IAC and both IMRC motors. Replaced the IAC at home, and had another shop replace the IMRC (they tested both, and found only one needed replacing). Thought that solved it, but just found out it still acts up. No Check Engine light this time.
I've checked this Forum, and wondered if it could be the sensor wiring, as mentioned. Asked the mechanic if that's the cause, but he said that wouldn't be the case (he's the one who replaced the engine and found no wiring problems).
Help--I'm at wit's end! What else can it be? Thanks in advance.

as I was looking for installing a speed sensor, I notice that your problem is one that I think I solved. You might check your cam sensor, my windstar was stalling out at intersections as like yours. I found out that my sensor was torqued out by the camshaft and parts were turn sideways inside of the sensor, check it out, it might be your problem!
