2001 Ford Taurus stalling?
Ok so lately my cars been stalling randomly, all I do when it stalls is hop out, pop my hood open, hop back in the car and start it back up and it turns over just fine, I kid you not all I do is pop the hood and it starts up just fine, I don't touch anything under the hood or mess with anything, literally just pop the hood and it starts back up, any answers as to what's going on with my car?
We can guess all day and give you a thousand wrong guesses. If you want the truth, pull the OBD2 trouble codes. They point right where the trouble is.
Just leave the hood closed and restart the motor when it stalls. You probably have a bad Air idle control motor.
Sounds like a loose wire somewhere. When you hit a pothole, you knock it loose. When you get out, open and close the hood, and get back in, you knock it back in place.
- When I start my truck my RPM's are very low (almost stalling) until I tap the gas? I'll start the truck and the RPMs will sometimes automatically go to below 1 then start dying out. I have to tap the gas quick and the RPM's will jump to around 3 then it will start the idle process. The truck runs fine otherwise I'm just concerned it might cause future problems. Is my throttle just getting stuck or something? 2003 Ford Ranger 2.3 4 Cyl Standard 160,000 Miles
- 2000 ford ranger stalling and shutting off while idling? I have a quick question, last night I ran over a deer, the truck started stalling and would not pick up speed and accelerate Like it suppose to. The muffler was hanging and the oxygen sensor cable came unplugged, could that be the issue? Or any other ideas? The bottom looks solid nothing is damaged or bent, I did plug the oxygen sensor back, but no luck
- Ford focus is stalling and buckling after stop? So about a month or so ago my ford focus started acting up. It kept stalling and buckling after a complete stop, but runs just fine after getting up to speed. About a week or so after that started, the "check engine" light came on. I'm taking it to the shop soon I was just hoping someone would maybe tell me what's going on with my car please?
