What could cause my car to die at a stop?
My car is an 04 Ford Explorer 4.6L Eddie Bauer. Alternator a rebuild that I put in 5 months ago, battery is still good but will probably need replaced by the end of the year. It starts up, but I need to put my foot on the gas or else it just struggles to start. When the car is running, it'll only stay running when I keep my foot on the gas, or else it just dies (but starts up again fine) RPM's in park/idle are around 500-700 RPM. If the car doesn't die at a stop, the RPM's are around 300-500 RPM. I've heard on these Explorers that it could be the Idle Air Control valve or Mass Air Flow sensors getting really dirty that can cause it, but I'm open to other possibilities as well.
I say check the idle cable and the air control valve or it could be mass air flow sensor
- What would cause the door locks and the trunk release to both stop working? 2002 Ford Crown Vic The other day the alarm suddenly went off, the door locks were going up and down and the trunk opened. I finally disconnected the battery for a while. After that everything was fine, except the door lock and trunk release mechanisms won't work. I have tried replacing several fuses and a circuit breaker (20 amp, CB) but they still won't work. Any ideas?
- What would cause heat/ac blower motor on car to stop? Every so often the heat/ac motor on my car stops. I remove it (which is fairly easy) and put it back on. Then it works fine. I have checked the connections and fuses. They seem fine. The switch works too. Could it be a faulty motor? A new one costs $25-$50. Any ideas? 2002 Ford CV, V8, with climate control.
- What could cause my car to not stay running? I have a 99 ford contour. 4cylinder 2.0L. It cranks but will not stay running unless hitting the gas pedal. No check engine light. New MAF and Camshaft sensors. Got the car in feb and had new plugs and oil change. Could it be a clogged cat?
- My radio won't stop scanning, doesn't stop on any station, why? It's a stock 93 Ford Taurus radio, only am fm and cassette, cassettes work but I don't want to use. How can I get my radio to work again? My antennae was loose but I tightened it but it still won't work!
