My son suggested I disconnect the battery for a few minutes and perhaps the computer would reconfigure. I did that, and haven't had any problems the last few days. However I will get the alternator tested.
thanks
Thanks
Jim
any help would be appreciated
To answer your question, yes you have three in front and three in back. the three in front can be taken off quite easily, by removing the plastic shield that says ford 3.0L v-6 or Mazda, etc. Very simple. But the back ones, you have to remove the upper intake, Like i said earlier in my previous post it is not as bad as it sounds. Just follow my post from Nov,28. 2007 and you will be just fine.

Particulars:
65 MPH on cruise control.
I broadsided a full size truck (drunk driver blowing a stop sign)
I walked away with a bruised chest (air bag), seat belt strap marks and some glass cuts.
I think the Escape did a great job of protecting me. Ibuprofen for the bruised chest.
Best visit the ER or your doc and get checked out good anyway if you haven't already. Some things don't show up right away.
Stay safe out there!
However, make sure the timing belt has been replaced, and the maintenance record is up to date. Used vehicles can look good on the outside, but might have hidden issues in the engine. Having someone that is engine-savvy with you might be a good idea before plunking down the cash.
Of course, some of that stuff could be wrong with a new one too!
I started it up and it ran a little rough at first, but then cleared up was running great.
I put in a small bottle of fuel injector cleaner, and filled the tank everything ran fine.
Once I got back home, I sprayed degreaser on the motor and rinsed everything off.
I started it up again and, drove out of my neighborhood it was running rough and then died, NO POWER the engine was still running but the car will barely move when I put my foot on the gas.
Could I have shorted out the coils when I washed the engine, i have pressure washed this motor many times before and had no problems.
Help......
The stalling is not a problem with the vehicles you drive,
I have found its the Ethanol in the gas.
Hello
I to have stalling problem with my 1993 Nissan Altima, and 1987 Jaguar XJ6,
when you stop to a light or any stop the cars stall, and if you keep your foot on the gas it stays running,
on the Nissan Altima I have replaced my Idle control valve and still the same problem,
I took out my hand book and seen Nissan states not to use oxygenate blend of gas which can not be determined.
and will cause stalling and hot-starting, and lower fuel economy.
I found a gas station with out Ethanol fuel and my cars run better.
and the most importantly the stalling is gone.
and I started a petition against Ethanol in fuels.
Thank you
Matt
Hope this helps your problem!
Dealer says they cant reproduce the problem and there aren't any codes registering. I'm a little worried about being stranded somewhere for several hours. Anyone else had a similar issue? How was it fixed?
I found a gas station with regular gas with out ethanol and now my car runs good, no more stalling, but the thing is all gas stations are going to be mandate to have ethanol, i may have to trade in my car for a car thats flex fuel
take care
Matt
Everything possible has been done preventatively as required @ 60K, including injector/gas system flush, plugs, filters, a new battery. Dealer has failed to identify problem. Until I trip their computer, they’ve not proven helpful.
Any others experienced this? Any suggestions?
