Car won't idle or rev, then battery dies

The car will only start in neutral, it engages but then there are no revs whatsoever and it dies, after two or three attempts the battery dies. Any suggestions?

mcdevito75 here, Sounds like the idle speed motor, Ford is known for these idle speed motors going bad, in the later stages the car races like crazy. have your repair shop check this idle speed motor and change it.

SOURCE: p2104 + p2112 car starts

P2104--Throttle Actuator Control System-forced idle

P2112--Throttle Actuator Control System-stuck closed

That could be anything from-----simply spraying the throttle
plate with CRC Throttle Body Cleaner,to Coil misfires ,coming
back on your TPS Sensor and setting your codes,to a bad
APP Sensor (accelerator pedal position sensor) to worse
case,a bad TACM (throttle actuator control motor)

The TACM you never want,because it requires a complete
new throttle body from Ford --for the tune of over $600 just for the
part. That forces you to install yourself ,which is easy.

Spray the throttle plate and let me know if you have other
codes for misfires.

I hope you do not, still have 4 or 5 year old spark plugs
still in that motor. Get them out of there

Clean the MAF Sensor---CRC MAF Sensor Cleaner

Start doing this work yourself. You can not afford a thousand
dollars per visit at a dealer. I as others will help you out.

My car wont start when cold outside could this be the problem of a failing fuel pump

More likely the battery, try starting the car with no electrics running (interior light, fans, wipers etc.) when it fires rev it up a few times and let it idle for a bit before pulling away if it runs fine after this you can use you electrics as normal . if its an auto pull away slowly if its a manual pull away with more revs than normal but very slowly engage the clutch.

Starts just fine but dies at idle. will keep running when stepp[ng on gas pedal

if the car runs fine at high revs, I suggest just turning the idle revs up 150ish, it could be a block cat converter, or restricted airflow making it die. but quick fix turn revs up 150rpm will do no harm and if it dies at higher revs, take it 2 the garage to see if they can find the thing.
