Ford - Focus :: 2003 ZX5 Stalling In Reverse

Why my 03 focus zx5 will stall in reverse. I have had the tranny serviced. I can drive it and then let it sit for about an hour and then try to reverse in it and it dies. I have change the mac, tps, iac sensors. I am at a loss for why this is happening. I also changed the pvc hose that runs from the back of the motor to the pvc valve.

Ford Transmission :: 1995 F150 Stalling In Reverse?

My 95 f150 stalls in reverse. It goes fine forward and idles fine in reverse but if I give it quite a bit of gas it starts stalling. We've put a new mlps and that didn't fix it. Then they thought it was the convertor so I got the trans rebuilt and still no change. I'm about to pull my hair out over this deal. I don't even have enough power to back up a trailer or back up a hill.

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: 5.4 Stalling In Drive Only / Reverse Works Fine

2002 f150 7700 with 5.4 triton and 4r100 tranny started chugging under acceleration and now stalls when put in D, 2 or 1. park and neutral are fine and reverse works perfectly.

Now when I put it in drive it chugs and stalls immediately... 1/10 times it will keep running but chug violently like its running out of gas. will get worse and stall if you press the gas. i can light the tires up for a block in reverse however.

Changed coils 1 2 and 3, IAC, bank 1 knock sensor, camshaft position sensor

Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Truck Stalling When Going Into Reverse

This just started happening last week. When I put the truck into reverse, the engine lugs down and dies. It' as if the AT is fully engaging reverse gear with no clutching action. If give the truck a bit of pedal, I can put her in reverse and back up without issue. Going forward into Drive has no issues.

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: 1994 - Stalling Between 1st And Reverse - Exhaust Leak

I recently got a 2wd 1994 150 straight 6 4.9L, It's been a great truck so far. It drove from New Mexico to California with no issues. Just this morning it started stalling and dying when pulling up to stop lights and putting it in reverse. The truck has 172,000 miles and has a new serp belt, alternator, radiator, and starter. It seems to run just fine on the highway and once it's warmed up it doesn't stall as easily. There is an exaust leak.

Ford Excursion :: 2003 - Stalling / Will Run And Then Die

I am purchasing a 2003 Excursion with a V10 sight unseen this weekend. It has a stalling issue. Apparently it will run and then die. What are the things I should look at besides the fuel filter. The owner said the fuel pressure was ok.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2007 F250 5.4L - Stalling When Going Into Reverse

I bought my son a 07 F250. 5.4L and he tells me it is dying on him, it started out with it trying to die when going into reverse, now he can't keep it running much at all. He took it to the Firestone shop and they are telling him one of the camshafts is probably bad... I highly doubt it. And a new 3k motor is what he needs...

The truck has 145k on it and has been well maintained and just had the oil and fluids changed. Air filter is good, battery is new as well. Only thing I can think of is to clean the throttle body and air meter, he lives 200 miles away so it is hard to troubleshoot over the phone. Any pointers to look at? possible vacuum leak somewhere?

Ford Excursion :: Transmission Died - Torque Converter?

So here I am driving away for the fuel station and then the tranny tries to shift and I hear and feel a loud clunk followed by no power. I have had no previous issues with the tranny but I believe it has not had any previous work done. The truck is an 02 7.3L with 200500 miles. I am guessing the torque converter is the culprit it still had very little forward motion when I tried to move the truck didn't matter what gear I was in. I intend to have the tranny beefed up but don't intend to go crazy. I do tow an 11,000 lbs TT on a fairly regular basis and have a PHP 6 position switch which can be set for as much as 120 hp from stock but don't do any hot rodding. I am mostly just looking to beef it up and provide as much strength towing.

Ford Excursion :: 2000 V10 - Start Then Instantly Died Now Does Not Turn Over

I have a 2000 V10 X and am having some starting issues.

Drove her to the store and she was fine. Went to drive home and she started to start, but instantly died. Then after that she wouldn't start at all...does not turn over. Had her towed home (which was fun...front wheels of flatbed came off the ground a little while loading her lol) and I have replaced the starter and the battery...still the same thing.

Thinking maybe the starter solenoid on the fender. Looks like a previous owner has installed something and ran power lines to the starter solenoid. Not quite sure what it is.

Here are some pictures:

Ford Excursion :: Truck Died When Cruising At 70 MPH On The Highway Using Cruise

As the title says the beast died on me yesterday morning going into work.

Situation : 5 F @ 7 Am

1/4 tank of fuel that has been treated

cruising at 70 MPH on the highway using the cruise

Going into work the other day the truck died on me as i cruised along at 70 MPH on cruise, I go to get out of the way of a car. As, I step on the accelerator X falls on its face. I look at the dash and there are no idiot lights on, gauges all look good. I navigate to the shoulder 3 lanes over and park it. As soon as it is in park it dies and will not restart.

I call AAA and sit there waiting for the truck to show up. After about 10 mins I try to start it again it stumbles and dies. 2nd try it fires up and is running rough. I make it to the nearest gas station and fill up. Then I go to the parts store and pick up the 911 fuel treatment and put it in the tank. I also use a scan tool on it and no codes. Truck ran fine after all this.

I go to start it after work, it starts and dies. I start it again and it sounds like it is running on 2 cylinders and there is a large puff of smoke out the exhaust which goes away after it is started.

After it warms up it runs and drives fine, no issues! So I looked at my extension cord I plug it into and realize that the timer was bad. New timer and verify it works. Go to start it today and it starts right up and idles and runs fine. Is it possible that the fuel gelled up due to the timer being bad and the block heater not turning on? Or am I missing something?

Ford Excursion :: 2001 V10 - Severe Misfire To Stalling

2001 V10 Excursion, just as the title implies, has severe hesitation issues and stalls out seemingly randomly, yet consistently. It started back 3ish months ago with a slight misfire(maybe?) at higher rpms (3.5k+) occasionally. Ive changed all 10 plugs, with no malfunctioning symptoms on them. I've cleaned and then replaced the MAF, and it seemed to fix it, but shortlived, and it was the exact same the day later. Air filter checked and cleaned, tb checked, tps visually checked. Codes were not thrown until it started to get quite bad, but only resulted in a lean condition both banks code. I seem to have fuel pressure, replaced the fuel pump and filter when the pump died about a year ago. As the problem worsened, I replaced the o2 sensors the other day, with still no change.

I plan on getting a fuel gauge to confirm for certain, as well as a vacuum gauge. I will check the fuel pump relay, and I am gonna beat on the CAT to see if its busted. Aside from replacing the COPs, it made me an hour late to work as I had to limp it along the highway, hazards blazing.

Before it starts acting up, I cant apply more than 5% pedal or it cuts out terribly, and a short while after that the motor starts surging terribly no matter the speed, and the pedal does absolutely nothing, like its not connected. I either stop and turn it off, or it dies, either way I stop. Restart the truck after a few seconds and it works fine for another....I dont know 100 yards maybe. Makes for one heck of a roadtrip.

Looking for any options that would kill a v10. Can a bad Cat kill a truck? I don't think all 10 cops would fail...or can they? Ignition module? Busted TPS? I'm lost.

Ford Excursion :: V10 - Random Stalling - Not Getting Fuel When Cranked

I've been researching the issue here on FTE, and this past weekend replaced the IAC Valve. I also cleaned the MAF.

Symptoms are random stalling. Before today, it was only at idle. Today it did while under power. It stalled three times before I had it towed home.

It starts up fine, but after stalling it did seem like it wasn't getting fuel when I cranked it a few times. But, then it was good. It still starts fine, and idles fine.

When a pump goes on one of these, do they act up first, or they simply stop working?

This issue has taken place over the past several months, but seems to have come to a head today.

Last resort is changing out the filter before I take it in.?

Ford Excursion :: Died While Driving At 70 MPH / Code Of P1260 Theft Detected

My Ex died on me last night while driving at 70mph, and wouldn't start again, it was turning over fast but not firing and I noticed the theft light flashing fast. After about half an hour it then allowed the car to start, I drove for about 5 minutes then it died again, and I had to call a recovery truck to get home.

It showed a code of P1260 Theft detected. The Ex is now running and starting ok, but I want to find or fix the problem so I'm not left stranded again (and I had my Wife and kids with me too)

I only have one key at the moment, and being in the UK, none of the dealers here will touch the Ex, so I'm thinking of bypassing/deleting PATS if possible?

I've now read tons of stuff on the internet, and some say that programmers like SCT can delete PATS or custom tune builders can delete it too - I was going to get a custom tune at some point anyway, so if it is possible, I'd like to get one asap and delete PATS at the same time?

Is there anything I should be checking in the meantime? Like replace a relay, check wires? I did the same when I first bought the Ex about 8 months ago, but at the time I thought it was the fuel pump, so did the hutch tank mod and checked the whole fuel system etc, and it hasn't done it since so I thought it was fixed....

Ford Excursion :: Fuel Pump Died After Rough Running Randomly

I have been chasing down what was a perceived vacuum leak...

My Ex (V10, 4x4, 217K miles) started to have an intermittent rough running/no power situation very randomly. No codes on the scanner, and no real apparent cause or condition to pin it down. I noticed what sounded like a like throttle ping...figured it was a vacuum leak someplace in the spaghetti under the hood.

I began to run down the possibilities. I have recently had the entire suspension replaced and upgraded all 4 corners to Power Stop brakes. Figured it might be something related like the classic lines to the hubs.

Replaced the vacuum lines to the hubs - ran OK for a bit, then rough start/idle/no power.
Replaced the vacuum switch for the hubs - ran OK for a bit, then rough start/idle/no power.
Replaced fuel filter - ran OK for a bit, then rough start/idle/no power.
Ordered a new vacuum reservoir...
While waiting on that, changed all 10 plugs and coils. Not. Cheap. Ran OK for a bit, then rough start/idle/no power.
Replaced IAC - ran OK for a bit, then rough start/idle/no power.

As I was getting ready to install the vacuum res, it just croaked. it would turned over like it wanted to start, but wouldn't catch.

Of course.... So, now it had to be towed and yes, the fuel pump puked and that was that. I've never had one do anything but just quit suddenly before, so lesson learned. Evidently these pump can act up for a bit before they die.

Ford Excursion :: 2003 Truck Stopped Running And Died On The Side Of Road

I have a 2003 Ex 6.0 psd, 155k miles, and was on my way to work to a site 40 miles from nowhere. I was about 10 miles from my destination cruising around 65 when the Ex started losing power. I would say within a couple of miles power was gone and i had no choice but to pull over. I popped the hood, got out had a look around and saw no leaks or anything out of the ordinary. Let it sit for a few minutes and tried to restart it to no avail. There was no check eng light or any signs something was wrong.

I just so happened to have my OBD scanner with me and plugged it in and read for any extra codes. Three popped up on the screen: P0232, P0263, and P0278.

P0232 Fuel Pump Secondary (Feedback) Circuit High Voltage,
P0263 is described as a cylinder number 1 contribution/balance. In essence, this code is stating that the number one cylinder in the firing order is experiencing a fuel-related problem.
P0278 same as above for cyl 6.

Right away i thought the fuel/lift pump took a dump on me and was causing the fuel issues in the two cylinders.
