    Dies while driving, slow or freeway speeds

    forced her to stay on via cruise control and a new symptom appeared! a HOT AND STEAMY symptom! She left me stranded on the 303 overheated. Thankfully the temp didn’t get TOO high to cause an eruption. I’ll be dropping her off at a ford dealership in the morning which was already planned before...

    Dies while driving, slow or freeway speeds

    Yeah that’s what I’m thinking, that and the PCM is getting a quick flash reset at the same time. There might be codes for a computer malfunction but i think what's more likely to happen is for the computer to throw a bunch of random codes. When I was driving after dark last night the car died...

    Dies while driving, slow or freeway speeds

    It has definitely been an idea and not a bad one either, I do believe if the ignition switch is at fault here the security light would come on since it would shut off the ignition coil and injectors. I could be wrong in that assumption. is there any way to really test the ignition switch? it...

    Dies while driving, slow or freeway speeds

    The water temp gauge doesn’t go past the middle, both gas and coolant temp gauges do move really slow though as well. Especially when starting the car, it can take maybe 10 seconds before the gas gauge reads above half. The semi sloppy work of the old owner shows the instrument cluster is...

    Dies while driving, slow or freeway speeds

    *another parts update* -Air filter, one in it looked factory -Purge Valve I read on another websites forum that a few users had similar/identical problems and they replaced the Purge Valve. I replaced mine, no dice. It still dies under the same circumstances when it’s not AS hot out it...

    Dies while driving, slow or freeway speeds

    I just took off the cover and noticed the actual fuse box cover wasn’t clipped in and was just sitting behind the first panel so now I know someone’s been here Doesn’t seem to be any moisture or corrosion around the box or inside where the fuses are, (there is a light rusting on the frame...

    Dies while driving, slow or freeway speeds

    Dies while driving, slow or freeway speeds

    Small update: Firstly, I cleaned directly inside the throttle body, around the butterfly and the flaps themselves, slapped it back together and drove to the gas station for a test drive. on the way there no stalling issues, different story for the way back. She died about half a mile out of...

    Dies while driving, slow or freeway speeds

    Just located my FPDM (rear of the car in the trunk next to the spare tire, for anyone reading in the future) The one in my car looks new, by that I mean it’s shiny, at-least it has a giant yellow check mark from the Quality Control at the factory. That and there’s bare metal scratches...

    Dies while driving, slow or freeway speeds

    *UPDATE AGAIN* present codes: p0053, p0059, p0401 P0053 and p0059 are o2 codes, replaced all 4 o2 sensors P0401 is an EGR valve code, replaced EGR valve P0455 popped up too as a pending code, EVAP code, replaced gas cap. I have heard that the combination of the first three could indicate a...

    Dies while driving, slow or freeway speeds

    Thank you kindly, I’ll see about stopping at an autozone on the way home and grabbing a new gas cap to see if you’re right.

    Dies while driving, slow or freeway speeds

    I’m not sure, it does look stock to me, and says to refer to manual so Id say it’s stock or oem replacement. The usual wear on it I suppose. Maybe calls for replacement. Do you know of a possible code for this?

    Dies while driving, slow or freeway speeds

    I feel as if I should say that when restarting the car I am moving most times. I am having to completely turn the key off, and then it back to run. will not start other wise, not sure if thats an indicator of something just trying to fill in the gaps.
