2001 Escape stall after starting

bodace40s · #1 09-21-2007, 08:43 AM

My 2001 Escape stalls immediately after starting when I let off gas pedal I have no problems when I'm driving it thats if I can get it to stay started. I thought maybe I had got some bad gas but it wasn't..It doesn't happen all the time. its happened 3 times in the last 2 months.
I did read the other thread on this situation but there was no answers as to what is to be done.

Thank you!

Start by cleaning the throttle plate on the backside and the IAC. When was the last time you did a tune-up ?

The IAC..idle air control valve is a know problem. It need to be replaced in many instances.

I have a 2001 Escape that had identical problem. Replaced Idle Air Control Valve and that solved it.
