Ford Focus battery light comes on when stopped and car wants to stall?
I was driving my 2002 Ford Focus ZX5 with the DOHC engine. I went to the grocery store and as i sat in my idling car, the battery light comes on and then approximately 1 minute after the car was put in park, the battery light comes on and the car stalls out. This then happened the 2 following times i put my car in park. But then after that, the car seemed to run/stop fine. It happened one time afterwards as well when i was at a light, but the car was not in park. When the car's stalling, you can hit the gas and will keep the car alive. The battery, coil pack, plugs, and wires were replaced 2 days ago. What could it mean? Fuel filter replacing? Any help would be appreciated!

Put the crystal into the Focus Ring (center of the machine)
2. Talk to Paratus "What do I now?"
3. Postion yourself in front of that Focus Ring (there's little platform you can go/climb up, so you stand right before the focus ring)
4. Use "frostbite" short(ly) and watch the beams behave, if the lightbeams take postions from where they can be reached of each of the three lenses head for the adjustment of the lenses. The positions Britney posted work 100%!
If step 4 is not working out for you, try "flames" on the crystal short(ly) to Reset the position of the beams TEST: With engine ON but the car in PARK, put on the brakes. IF the idle gets rough and/or slows, have the vacuum booster on the power brakes checked for a vacuum leak. If that's OK, turn-on the A/C and see if it idles better in traffic. My girlfriend's 2003 ZX3 with that same engine also idles rough, and turning on the A/C helps. Get your battery and alternator tested. One or both could be going bad. Common problem with Fords. You need to clean the throttle body and the air by pass solenoid. Google it for instructions there are a few video on how to do it. Check the alternator Check the charging system fuse before you start buying things. The battery light comes on because the alternator output drops below a certain engine RPM. This happens during an engine stall. It is not a symptom of what's wrong with your car. The problem you describe is a common issue with the Ford Focus, regardless of sub-model. It is difficult to diagnose here so you should take it to someone knowledgeable for an in person diagnoses.

- What Ford vehicles with a 302 motor comes with a 4 barrel carb (and only comes 302 with a 4bc)? I have a 1989 mustang gt motor and I'm making it carbureted and I'm looking for any vehicle with a 302 that carries a 4b. I'm going to a junkyard where they don't help with finding vehicles, so it would be helpful to know what vehicles only have a 302 with a 4bc, that way I can look it up on the website and know exactly where its at.
- What does a battery light and oil light that turn on a 2012 ford Fusion se mean? Yesterday I was at a stop sign and my car was on and the engine turned off and the battery and oil light came on so I turned off the car and turned it back on and it was working again so I decided to go to autozone so then I had them check the battery and they told me the battery was good and the alternator was good then they checked the car for any codes and it had 0 codes so I don't know what's wrong with my car it still runs but it shut off on me twice yesterday
