Owner report 756656 · 2002-01-10 (January 10, 2002)

ENGINE STALLS! CAR HAS A NEW ALTERNATER AND BATTERY BECAUSE I KEPT RUNNING DOWN THE BATTERY TRYING TO START IT. IT HAS ALSO BEEN COMPLETELY TUNED UP AND RUNS FINE UNTIL THIS HAPPENS. THE STALL CAUSES YOU TO STOP PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT THE IGNITION OFF THEN BACK ON BEFORE IT WILL START. THAT BACKS UP TRAFFIC AND CAUSES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION... PLEASE SEND ME SOMTHING THAT WILL MAKE FORD FIX THIS PROBLEM... THANKS. *AK
