Replying to: partsmantoo (Nov 03, 2009 7:25 pm) Hello there SIr   I have gotten a email notice you are having troubles with stalling and hard to start there are a few conditions that can lead to that however your Ford escape is new can rule out that theres no engine wear, have you checked the Idle air control valve? also check fuel pressure regulator, theres another condition which the car stalls if the ambient temperature is extreamly hot but thats not your case. its cold, this would be a bad idle control valve, I have seen a lot of this going on even my own car does the samething, the problem I believe is that the Ethanol in the gas is causing your problems switch to a non-ethanol gasoline should salve your problem!   to get regular gas is some what hard, but however if you have a boat marina near by you should be able to buy the gas there (call to make sure it has no ethanol it it) but you cant put it in your car needs be in gas cans. for boat use only, but it regular gas that was for car in the days of old.   Email asus2908 at yahoo.com and let me know how its going?

All,   I am having multiple misfires with my 2004 ford escape. Cylinders 1,2,4, and 6 are misfiring. It has always had problems when there has been a recant rain with high humidity. It seems like there is moisture getting in the fuel system. Now it does it all the time. I replaced the plugs about 8 months ago. The engine misfires only when holding a constant speed. It doesn't seem to misfire when accelerating or decelerating but can be felt when at idle. Any help would be appreciated.
