	466 Views Has anyone has an issue with there car just dying for what seems like no reason. My 02 is doing that. I thought maybe it was cause of the injectors being too big since I hadnt had it tuned for them but I switched back to the old 19 lbers and she runs better but will just up and die either at idle or while moving. I dont have any ideas except for changinf to fuel filter. Anyone had this problem before?????????

“” Check the FPRS they are nitorious for causing issues... my issues werent the car dieing but alot of bucking.

Feb 10th, 2007 @ 10:41 PM

“” The Idle Air Control (IAC) is a very common culprit on the 4.6 ltr motor.

Feb 11th, 2007 @ 1:20 AM

“” i just had that problem, it was the battery cables {negtive one} while the car is on move the wires , make sure you wear gloves got a bat burn, but thats all it was. just had to retighten the terminals.............

Feb 11th, 2007 @ 3:00 AM

“” I vote fer the IAC, usually it one of the 1st things I check.

Feb 11th, 2007 @ 1:08 PM

“” Another vote for IAC. Very very common problem especially on the 01-04 GTs.

Feb 11th, 2007 @ 2:29 PM

“” OK thatnks everyone. I am going to have to get that changed out then After changing back to the stock injectors the knock went away and it hasnt seemed to come back.My negative cable is kinda loose though. I will tighten it up and drive it to the parts store to get the Idle air control thinggie. Thanks for all your inputs

“” When mine was running erratically, idling fast then nearly dying and backfiring, it turned out to be a broken throttle position sensor.

Feb 11th, 2007 @ 9:12 PM

“” another vote for IAC, EGR and lose battery terminals or wire to the connector

Feb 11th, 2007 @ 9:17 PM

“” try or mass air flow... ihad a problem with my fox it kept dying with my cold air.. the recharge kits messed mine up and it kept dying popped the stock one in idle went back to normal and started up great.. thts my .02

Feb 11th, 2007 @ 9:21 PM

“” Speaking of which I did notice this right after I recharged my filter but I have done that numerous times before with no ill effects. Noone round here carries my I.A.C. so I will have to find one tommorro at ford. It makes sense to change that cause now I only have a problem at idle. It dont get irratic though just dies if ya have to sit at a light and usually dies as soon as you touch the throttle.

Feb 11th, 2007 @ 9:36 PM

“” Yosemiddysam remember what we changed on mine? IAC! throttle position sensor could be a good one too! ill be back on land by the end of the week. going to order to action traction bars like someone with a yellow engine that i know cough cough

Feb 11th, 2007 @ 9:48 PM

“” Hey did that fix yers I dont remember. I wonder if yours was the same? Yours wasnt shutting off like mine was maybe I could try yours and see if it goes to idleing like shit instead of shutting off. you need to get yer ass back here. You missied one helluva fun day at the bbc. We had a blast till the car started acting up.

Feb 11th, 2007 @ 11:16 PM

“” Oh and I just noticed that my theft light flashes right before it dies. Could this have any connections to it dieing? Did ford put a kill switch if the theft thing flashes and if so how do I re do it.

Feb 13th, 2007 @ 10:08 PM

“” Well she has not sputtered since I changed the fuel filter and cleaned out the IAC with brake fluid. Beats me but it seems better now. We will see.
