1st. high mileage is because my husband is a courier. 2nd. We've had this problem at 5 mo., and we're not sure what's wrong, and our mechanic doesn't know either. We drive it about 50 to 100 miles give or take, and it stalls out like it isn't getting gas, after you let it set for a few minutes, then it starts up and goes again. The other day I only drove it for about 10 miles when it stopped, after it sets for 2 or 3 minutes, it starts up again. Yesterday I drove it for 100 miles before it stopped again. We don't know if it the gas filter which was changed in Feb. of this year, or maybe the fuel pump. It acts like it not getting gas when it stops running. Could it be dirt in the rail? which is a fuel reservoir. $100 to do a diagnostic, then probably another $300 for parts and labor or more.

Engine stalling and engine light won't go off. Changed the plugs, wires, fuel filter and the O2 sensor - no help. Diagnostic keeps saying it is the O2 sensor.
I will never buy another Ford!
