My 2004 Ford Escape stalls

My Escape stalls when I approach a stop sign after highway speeds. this just started happening after my last oil change.

  • allant968 Jan 30, 2009

    I have not noticed a shuttering but have noticed that if I modify my driving a bit it kind of works. When starting to slow down and I see the tach drop really low, I goose the accelerator and it seems to work. I have done that the last several days and it doesn't stall.

These vehicles have a problem with the torque converters locking up after a long drive. this will cause it to stall when coming to a stop. Do you feel a shuddering when stopping?

Stalling when stopped fine when high speed

There could be some water in the fuel (especially with the weather we are having) and it wouldn't hurt to put some Heet (Heat) in the tank. It is designed to remove moisture from the fuel and can be purchased at nearly any retailer. Even if your 'service engine' light isn't on, there is likely a code stored in the 'pending' section of the engine computer. Places like Auto Zone (in most states) offer a free computer scanning service. Ask them to test it and if they get nothing, ask them to test the pending codes. If you get any codes, have them write the codes down so you can post them here for further explanation. Don't let them sell you anything. Most of the people working at stores like this don't know what they are doing and rely on the computer to tell them what to sell you.

I did not drive my 2003 Escape for two months. It worked fine this morning. Then driving home to night it was almost stalling at the stop signs. Driving along the Highway it had no power at was very jerky...

Get the code, any time you get a MIL Lamp on dash

Jerky--could be EGR Valve

Need the vehicle to diagnose issues,can not guess

Ignition coils a big ford problem, for over 14 years running.
