Stalling ford escort

You may need to be looking at your Torque Converter being in LOCK UP and forcing it to stall because the Transmission is not letting go of the Motor...

You may also have a Plugged CAT CONVERTER

Test the Temp BEFORE and AFTER.. There should be an INCREASE of at least 100 degrees on the BACK from the Front

go get it checked at a auto parts store most of them have obd2 code readers that they can check it with there is a reason that light is coming on

depends on which engine you have
seen lots of CMP issues and/or variable cam gear issues (assuming you have the ZTEC engine)

doubtful its fuel lines but could be the fuel filter or the IAC (idle air control motor)

is the check engine light on?

I don't have the solution, but I have the same exact problem on my 1991 Escort 1.9L with auto with 120K miles. I replaced the IAC with no difference. In fact I unplugged it, and still had the random stalling. Also disconnected the EGR vacuum line...still stalled randomly. After it stalls it always starts right back up again. Sometimes it will act as if it's going to stall, but comes back to normal idle. Park or Drive makes no difference. Acceleration and all normal driving is fine. The next thing I was going to try is hooking up a timing light and watch to see if the timing light stops flashing as it's stalling, and/or hooking up a fuel pressure gauge somehow, to the fuel rail, to see if the pressure drops when stalling....to figure out if its ignition or fuel related.

sounds like the idle is set a little to low or bad fuel filter

The battery could be slightly weak, making the computer go on the fritz, try a fresh battery!!!! The rev counters bounce often with a weak battery.

Leave feedback good or bad.

The CAMshaft position sensor is faulty.

Looks like you are low on engine oil and light is coming on as indicator and simultaneously stopping the engine from overheating

My suggestion would be to check your timing!
