I have a 96 taurus with the 3.0 6 cylinder engine. When I start the car it instantly loses all rpm and stalls. I need to floor the pedal to keep it running. It can then start and go for 2 days without a problem. I just had the S belt replaced and te water pump. Prior to that I didnt ave a problem. Any thoughts would help.

I have a 94 Mercury Sable 3.8 engine. The car ran like a charm and then suddenly it would stop running and would not start back up for a few minutes to a few days. I have had everything tested and nothing is out. I have put it on one of those machines that test engines and that shows nothing. Someone told me that it could be a module that is suppose to be housed on the firewall or behind the glove compartment. Well, I took it to a shop and they could not find it and I had several people look at it and it still can't be found. Does anyone here have any idea what could be wrong with this car?
 
Thank you very much
Susan
