After engine warms up, it starts having difficulty--revs up, then slows down near stalling, revs up, slow down, etc., before finally stalling out. One mechanic and the local Ford dealer can't figure out the problem.

My wonderful piece of sh*t car keeps dying at stop lights, stop signs, and in parking lots. I had it checked out a while back but the mechanics didn't find anything wrong with it. Everything is kept up in the car. It was in a couple weeks back for fluid changes so that's not the reason.

I've had some problems with my car stalling out. This will be the third time in this summer that my car is in the shop. It's getting pretty spendy.
