Re: '01 Escape RPMs drop low, engine stalls turning at low speed or going over bumps

The V6 has pre-cats as part of the exhaust manifolds. Then the main catalytic converter after the two pipes join. The guts of these pre-cats like to fall apart and then get caught in the first screen of the main cat. With no flowing of the exhaust, it won't run right. You can take the main cat off and tap it on the pavement at the inlet to see if that is the problem by how much if any material from those front pre-cats comes out. I'd see if that is your problem.
