Engine Stalls at idle

are the heater core hoses getting hot? is the temp blen door moving inside to direct the heat? is the blower motor working?

It has 79,000 miles on it. I`ve replaced the fuel filter. Problem occurs after driving for awhile. The engine will stall, and shut off like it is running out of gas. When I attempt to restart it flutters for a second or two then dies. Try to restart turns over but will not start up. After waiting for approximately 10 minutes it fires right up. It will do this just about every time when driving across town or a lengthy trip, but not when I go short distances. Thank you for your time.[/quote:b2697c8da3]

Fixed it. Here is what I done. The EGR valve, and hose going to the throttle body was leaking when it got hot. I added a little silicone around the EGR valve, and a hose clamp to the hose the connects to the throttle body. Hope this helps someone else out there.

Thanks for coming back and letting us know the fix-

Engine Performance problem 1999 Ford Windstar 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 103682 miles Last night coming from work my car stopped accelerating the steering wheel locked up so i pulled over opened the hood and smoke just came flowing out. There's oil spattered on the battery intake manifold and hoses. i assumed it's oil due to the shine. I really need help on this one

You have a picture of the grill. Did something break through it when this happened? If so, check the trans cooler to see if it is leaking. Let me know.

when I start my van it keeps stalling, if I keep my foot on the gas peddle I can keep it running ounce I let of it will go down to idle and stall

Check the idle air control valve, MAF and TPS sensors to include the EGR valve.

With the engine cold, it will not stay idle without dying. If I keep my foot on the gas, it is ok. But once I lift my foot off the gas pedal to put it on the brake pedal to put into gear, it dies. But once the engine is up to temperature, it will drive fine and I can turn it off and restart it, and it will idle fine. Do you know what is causing this? Thanks.

Most likely faulty Engine Coolant Tem. Sensor located top rear of engine

what would cause my van to keep cutting off

scan for codes and check fuel pressure first

Try this. Here is what I done. The EGR valve, and hose going to the throttle body was leaking when it got hot. I added a little silicone around the EGR valve, and a hose clamp to the hose the connects to the throttle body. Hope this helps someone else out there.
