2001 Ford Windstar stalls once placed in drive

I recently noticed that the "theft" light on my dash has been coming on while driving. It fades in and out. My Brother in law used it and said that it started and then when he placed the vehicle in drive it stalled out. It goes in reverse though. He said that it runs fine, but when it's placed in drive the vans stalls out. I don't know if it's the anti theft system or the neutral safety switch, but I certainly need some help. Thanks in advance!!!

SOURCE: Running rough and stalls during wet weather otherwise runs fine.

Your ignition coil is cracked. Replace it with a new OEM unit.

Either you may be using a key that you had copied from the original or your chip went bad in your original key. Most of cars now a days have the key censor in the key so if it is the incorrect key it will not start your car or if it does not read that chip it will not start

This means that your key is not being recogonized.Ethier the chip in the key is bad or the patts transciever at the lock cylinder. Do you have a spare key? If not you will have to get 2 new keyss cut and programmed.

SOURCE: 2001 Ford windstar stalling problems. After

have your idle speed sensor cleaned,also checkd the air flow sensor located in the air cleaner housing,you best bet is to have it scanned for PCM soft codes(codes that wont turn on the check engine light on)

My 2001 windstar's brake light on the dash will come on periodically when you first drive off but will go out after driving for a minute of so. It will return approximately 50 feet from stopping once...

check the fluid level if low why most likely pads are low or possible leak also some vehicles if brake light is out it will set it off then check for sensor

Yes, the chip in the key is not programmed to the computer for some reason. May have to take to dealer to fix this problem. The anti theft light coming on is a bad sign, where, for security reasons, if the key doesn't match up with what the antitheft computer expects, then the car's engine shouldn't work.

2001 Ford Taurus flashed theft light while driving and stalls. It does that intermittently. Starts fine.

IT WILL HAVE EITHER PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (PATS) MODULE OR REMOTE ANTI-THEFT PERSONALITY (RAP) MODULE . REPLACE THE MODULE.

1995 Ford Windstar has an intermittent stalling issue.

If it wont stall in neutral or park it may have a bad torque convertor clutch in the trans causing the engine to stall.

2001 Ford Winstar Theft light on

When the battery was replaced it possibly set off the anti theft system for your vehicle, check your owners manual for instructions on resetting the system its usually pretty simple, also check your fuses, they could have just went out during the battery change. It should be pretty simple and quick to do. Good luck.
