The car runs well, but a lot of times it will just die. I've taken it to 2 mechanics thus far, one at a ford dealership that specializes in older cars. The ignition module has been replaced, but it hasn't really affected the stalling. When the car stalls, all power cuts off (brakes, steering etc). It starts back up immediately after putting it in park, turning it off and then turning it back on. There is no good way of telling when it will stall. It has happened after turns and gear shifts, as well as just idling. It idles at around 500 RPM. Sometimes while I'm stopped, I'll press both pedals to push the RPM up. Sometimes that helps, but most of the time it doesn't. If anyone has had this problem, please let me know if you've gotten it fixed. Thanks.
Fuel pump stops pumping at anytime. Car will start if pump pumps up when ignition is turned on, but won't start if pump doesn't pump up. Has been to two different garages and problem won't happen for them. Doesn't show up when codes are checked. This is very dangerous when moving in traffic. Has anyone had this problem, and how where you able to fix it?
the car works when it wants to. my fuel pump shuts off while i'm riding down the road and it takes about 3 or 4 hours for it to come back on so i can crank my car. it also after i crank my car and run it for a while and shut it off and then try to crank it up and it want crank because my pump is not on. i had the crank sensor change and it did the same thing. the mechanic told me that was the problem but it wasn't.
