E failed to start on several occasions; vehicle could only be operated with foot on the gas pedal at all times to allow fuel to vehicle air flow; vehicle almost uncontrollable coming to a stop at red light when engine stalled; vehicle would not continue idling on a cold start. Per dealer, the iac valve needs replacing. . . Expected on Ford automobiles(mustangs and explorers, specifically). 2000 Mustang gt owners need a recall on this situation before someone is killed with a vehicle that can not be controlled when the hydraulics fail because of a stalled engine. I live in a large metro area with a high percentage of fast drivers.
The problem is the engine stalls. This happens when the engine is warm or cold. It also happens after the clutch has been disengaged after being at speed and the rpms are decreasing to the programmed idle rpm. However, instead of stopping at the idling rpm, the engine rpm dips to low and the engine stalls. I lose power steering and brakes which cause a very dangerous situation. I also noticed that this happens more often if I am going around a turn or turning on the ac (both items require more power from the engine)while disengaging the clutch. In total, this has happened 5 times during the 30500 miles. ****dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12-12-02 cut over to artemis****761876.
Engine stalls when full braking applied at highway speeds, causing sudden loss of power assisted steering and braking. 2 seperate instances. Dealer checked and found nothing noteable, made minor adjustment to throttle settings. 1 week later, second instance occurred, motor dying 3 times. Driver forced to place manual transmission in neutral, depress clutch, and restart motor, which restarted each time, but forced driver to attempt to start car, control car, and stop car simultaniously.
Engine stalled. Entire power would go down. Vehicle will begin to stall without prior warning at any speed. Vehicle has been taken to the dealer on nine different occasions, but omputer did not shown any signs. Dealer has not provided any type of remedy.
Upon rapid deceleration, engine stalls. When this occurs, all power assist features (brakes, steering) are lost. This has happened several times and has been dismissed as "not able to recreate" by the dealership.
Consumer stated while traveling, the engine stalled. Vehicle is now in its fifth repair. Dealer has been contacted. Please provided any further information.
The engine stalls while driving, in traffic, on the freeway, where/whenever. It just cuts out, whether the engine is warm or cold. We have had it to 5 different dealerships to fix the problem and they say there is nothing wrong or they don't know what's wrong.
