Replying to: jrountree (Apr 16, 2008 3:22 pm) jrountree, Did you find out what was going on with this? My car is doing the exact same thing. When I start it the engine is so hot it seems, and it barely idles as soon as I go to put it in drive or put my foot on the break it shuts off.

Replying to: jrountree (Apr 15, 2008 8:12 am) Hello to All auto owners Ford, GM, Nissan The stalling is not a problem with the vehicles you drive, I have found its the Ethanol in the gas.   Hello   I to have stalling problem with my 1993 Nissan Altima, and 1987 Jaguar XJ6, when you stop to a light or any stop the cars stall, and if you keep your foot on the gas it stays running, on the Nissan Altima I have replaced my Idle control valve and still the same problem, I took out my hand book and seen Nissan states not to use oxygenate blend of gas which can not be determined. and will cause stalling and hot-starting, and lower fuel economy.   I found a gas station with out Ethanol fuel and my cars run better.   and the most importantly the stalling is gone.   and I started a petition against Ethanol in fuels.   Thank you   Matt

Prior to this it would shudder as if it were about to die and then the check engine light would come on. On all occaisions but one, this would happen just after we turned the air conditioner on. The code it would give was P0351.   Hope this helps your problem!

Replying to: diane03 (Feb 19, 2008 7:43 am) I have an '08 that I bought 3 months ago, and 3 times now I go to get in it, turn the key and everything comes one (radio, lights, etc) except for the engine. No noise, clicking, cranking, warning lights or sounds come from the engine. Twice this happened after it sat in my driveway over night, but once it happened after I'd been driving it around for a little while, then stopped for a few hours before trying to leave again. Takes several hours for it to start back up again.   Dealer says they cant reproduce the problem and there aren't any codes registering. I'm a little worried about being stranded somewhere for several hours. Anyone else had a similar issue? How was it fixed? Replies to this message: irishamy (Sep 19, 2008 7:29 am)
#34 of 57 HELP PLEASE. Ford Escape idle issues, running out of options by jch2122 Sep 16, 2008 (9:35 am)
I have a question I'd love some assistance with. I'm on a tight budget and trying to get this fixed myself. My car was idling very rough and the rpm's were bottoming out, but it wouldn't turn off. I looked and the crankcase vent tube had been broken on both ends so I replaced that and it helped, but didn't fix the problem. I looked around some more and found a tube below the power train control module that had a hole in it so I electrical taped that and now it idles great, with no roughness or anything. I was very excited yesterday when I thought I had fixed it until I put it in reverse to drive it, when I did it turned off. Any time that I go from park to reverse or park to drive it pretty much bottoms out on the rpms, but doesn't turn off. It's fine if I'm going from reverse to drive or something like that though. I drove it to work today and it did good, but it is very sluggish when I put it into gear, it hesitates even if I've hit the gas and then jumps and goes. My check engine light has stayed on from the beginning of this. It read code P2195 but nothing specific so i'm not sure what to do now. My wife is the one who drives the car with our two kids so I just don't want her to have any problems when she's out and about. Thanks for your assistance.

Replying to: shoedawg06 (Sep 10, 2008 8:26 am) I had this same problem...only had the car for about two months...turned the car off five minutes later tried to start it and nothing...after a few minuteslater it started...a few days later was stranded 200 miles from home...car wouldn't start...had to have it towed to the nearest Ford dealership and they had it for about 24 hours and had to reprogram new keys...they tried to tell me that someone must have mistaken it for their car and put their key in it which caused it to disable my car...not true!....no one at the Wendy's restaurant had the same car or even the kiwi lime color car I had. A few days later my car started dying for no reason...took it to where I bought it in Olathe they found bad wiring. Was fixed. Now my car doesn't want to run...for a week it's like my car doesn't want to shift to second gear...happens the whole entire time I come to a stop or slow down....when it does finally shift itself into second gear it takes off and my tires squeal...thinking it's my transmission...this morning coming to work my fuel light came on which I have a half tank of gas, the wrench light came on, my power steering went out, and my trip miles went away and just showed little lines across the screen....now I'm thinking it has some wiring issues again...taking it back for the fourth time to find out what's wrong....this car needs to be considered a lemon. When I bought the car a year ago before getting it off the lot the windshield wiper motor was dead and they had to replace it before I ever got to drive it off the lot.
