Good to hear, my 2010 f150 just started this a month ago. Cleaned the throttle body and was looking at common issues and plan on changing this part out. It seemed like the throttle fixed it but it did it today leaving the gas station.
@@johnnyarnett4904 Nope it was not temperature related at all. It was very infrequent but always on a deceleration to a stop. Glad the purge valve fix it. Cheers
Thank you. My 2006 F150 4.6 was stalling at stop lights. Thank goodness the dealer didn't have time to look at the truck. Decided to search you tube and found you. Replaced the Vapor Canister purge valve and the truck runs great. Thanks Steve, if ever in the San Diego area look me up and I'll buy you lunch.
Hey bro! Im having the same problem! Did your fuel pump kick on or not? I just changed my fuel pump driver module and still no luck. I'll try changing the purge valve put before I do I need to know if you heard the pump or not before changing this valve! I've watched 1874328 videos and not one mentioned fuel pump kicking on or not!!! Wtf
This is all about stalling after starting caused by a faulty purge valve not a faulty fuel pump or fuel related . If your fuel pump is not turning on that's a totally different problem.
I have a 2010 F150 that was experiencing stalling and a ton of O2 sensor codes, mine would act up more frequently right after filling up. Rolled the dice ordered the vapor purge valve. Haven't had a single issue since. 3 fill-ups no issues. Thanks for posting this video I would have never looked at this! I felt like I was driving an old Dodge with vapor lock....
Hello everyone I have a 96 f150 5.0 if it’s any wormer than 80 the truck will not start right away and after driving no more than 5 mile it’s stalls but it’s not over heating I am not able to Figure it out any ideas
My 2017 king ranch 5.0l was stalling at idle after filling gas tank, $38 evap purge valve from auto zone fixed issue. Diaphragm had pinhole and couldn’t hold vacuum. Thanks for video, very helpful
Hello, my Ford 1990 F150 4.9 L stalls on reverse after driving for a while, it did right in the middle of the parking lot, could not re-start the truck, then fr some reason I did not have my cables nor anybody else to have given me a jump. After about 30 minutes I decided to start it AND IT DID START!! And I got back home. It did again after a month, and this time as I lifted the hood, I noticed a bit of fluid had come out of a couple of Battery cells, I suspected it overheats. After 20 minutes I tried to start it and it started, went back home. So now the question is.....What is causing this overheating? I checked it for shorts, but I found none, what do I need to check and fix? Thanks a lot for the advice.
2007 F150 4.6 liter. never has stalling issues before. i replaced the manifolds and EGR Valve because of rust issues. and exhaust fumes. no spudder truck runs good....But now the truck is stalling at a stop light. intermittent. usually after been used for more than 10 min. Any one with similar issues. Getting a EGR code 0401 code anything else to replace.....??
I have a 95 Ford bronco 5.0 e40D trans it will shut off in drive but I can drop it down in 1st and shift gears to drive (while driving down the road) and its fine but if I come to a stop in drive and it shuts off, do you think that might be the issue
Another thing to check is to see if the 20 amp fuse #27 in the under hood fuse box has been relocated to #70. This fuse powers the injectors and has melted in half on my truck.
🎉 I drive a 1995 Ford F150 6 cylinder. The other day I was driving in town and it stopped very quickly. I let it sit for a few minutes it started right back up again. I thought it might be the gas but it didn't seem to be the obstacle. I tried it again on a cooler day. Got almost to where I was going and it did it again. The power steering on the truck seems like it was hard to turn. Single single elderly female here in Oklahoma cannot afford a mechanic and them looking and searching for shade tree mechanic. Any thoughts on this
Good job boss. I have a f150 ford 5.4 I put a new fuel pump and new fuel filter new battery and new Crank sensor and cam sensor no fule mod on it I can't find what the problem is. Would you now
2:18 what do you mean when the fuel changes from summer to winter? My 1993 f250 5.8l has a similar issue where it dies as im coming to a stop... no codes and dealership is clueless
In areas where there is a winter all fuel is changed from winter grade to summer grade blends for best performance. In your case 3 items may be worth checking into . Idle position sensor, throttle body needs cleaning , vaccum leak.
I have a 2007 ford expedition and same thing drives well til u get to a stop and it wants to act like its going to stall idk what it is any info for me will help plz?
Great vid Steve but it begs the question... out of all the techs at Ford, none of them could figure it out? I guess they're trained to follow a certain test pattern and see if anything comes up.... it's great that one of your subs figured it out, amazing in fact!
I have 2014 F150 and this past weekend it stalled out 5 x either at a stop light or making a right or left hand turn. The truck only has 32k miles on it. Do you think this purge valve might fix the problem ?
I have a 03 F150 and it stalls when stopped and will not go. I have to hold gas until it eventually takes off. Not sure if this can fix that problem. Just changed filter and fluid.
Ramon this condition never flooded it with so much fuel not to restart . Your condition I would concentrate on the throttle body and the first thing is clean it and go from there.
ScannerDanner suggested it could be a seasonal fuel change fault that is seen to affect the trucks but just to see if this part fixes it as its on the list as common fixes as well. If it stalls again I will do a mention. Cheers
I have a 2015 Ford F150 5.0 I read on another video. That the fuel pump drive module can go bad causing the truck to stall out occasionally and idle up and down and shut off. The dealer can't figure it out. Say the vcts and phasers are good. Do you think worth it's a shot to replace? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Dont think you have a fuel pump drive module on the frame under the box at the rear , yes that was a problem . Mine the dealer could not fix either but the evap purge valve under the hood fixed it for good . Ya for $60 its worth a shot.
@@SteveRobReviews I replaced that already no change. I'll try this module I located above the spare tire rack. Can't believe these technicians can't figure it out. Apparently this is a common problem with the 5.0s idle and stall issue. It's less prevalent when it's cold outside too. So annoying only has a 110k on it and really not interested in trading it in lol.
So it stored some codes and after the technician messed with it. It ended up being the vct sensors on my passenger side 2,000 miles since repair no more erratic idling or dying out so we'll see if the problem comes back..
My son has a 1990 F-150 302 E.F.I that has the same problem. I was helping him fix it and noticed there was some vacuum lines plugged with bolts and I believe the purge valve removed. We have 2 canisters one of them completely disconnected. Would you have a picture,diagram or video so we can see what's missing? I'm currently looking for a local vehicle to compare...Thanks
Dave I have done exactly what you want to do . I went to my Ford dealer and they were more than happy to print off a ford diagram showing all the parts and routings. If you go to Fords online parts web page they have the exact same diagrams if your is available for that year. Give that a try.
Mine has stalled just a couple times normally when off-road in low range four wheel drive idling down a hill. Today it's stalled or almost stalled while turning into a parking space at extremely slow speed so I'm going to have to look into this.
Did it work?? I have an 05 f150 and it just started doing this to me. And it was 90 degrees all summer until about 3 days ago up here in Minnesota, it’s been in the 40’s the last 3 days. It’s only happened twice. But mine doesn’t run that great to begin with.
Gary if it didnt resolve it I would see if your local ford dealer has any idea . Its not going to be easy doing it on your own as you may run out of money before you run out of guesses :)
My 2014 has been doing the same thing for some time now only on deaccleration and I replaced my purge valve and still having the same issues. Any other ideas? Thank you
We have had our 2013 F150 in the shop for a week. It would not start, not even turn over just a small click. We found a couple of videos with this same problem. But with our truck in the shop, it would not not start. So we had them replace the purge valve & then it wouldn’t start. They finally found that connections at the body control module, PCM relay was bad. So fingers crossed the replacement of both these will fix the problem.
Wonder if it could be the fuel pump driver module.... just winging it, so it might well not be, shrug... Hadn't ever heard of that, until I started searching CZcams, shrug...
Seems like it’s the relay mmm looks like I’m going grocery shopping at the junk yard maybe a few computers and most definitely grabbing some Relays and coil packs 😂
Twice my 01 Excursion stalled and cut off after a long drive. I did a full maintenance, (spark plugs, coils, oil change, fuel filter) and still stalled and cut out. Any suggestions or advice???
I have a 1985 f150 lariat and it would die on me randomly while driving, i changed the tfi module and it turned on but then when i drove it it started stalling bad untill it wouldnt turn back on, now it doesnt turn on even after i changed out the ignition coil
That's crazy that an employee discount couldn't beat that price. I would have never guessed. Hopefully that part gets it done for you. It's such an annoying issue to have the vehicle dying. Cheers Steve!
My 2005 f150 4.6 stalled when I was coasting to a red light. Started right back up but check engine light was on. Got a scan, several codes....P0401, P0109, P2198, P2196. Where do I start?? Help!!!
Wow where do I start is right is a great question . The codes will give you a clue as to where to start and some codes are a result of the stall. The 401 egr flow is a good start and go from there . If you want to know how to diagnose the 401 check out my buddies channel he has plenty of Ford 401 vids. ScannerDanner , Paul is about the best there is.
Hope that fixes it. I never thought of the gas being different between seasons. Weird. Rock Auto, even though they charge shipping, can't be beat for OEM type repairs. I'm starting to collect the car magnets on the shop fridge!
Their prices are better including a 30 % exchange rate and shipping a lot more and still cheaper than everyplace else. They have ethanol sensors testing the fuel and altering calibrating so yes fuel can play into it but so far so good and time will tell. Cheers
Im currently deployed to the middle east and my wife is experiencing the same symptoms on my 2010 4.6 3v. I ordered a purge valve and she replaced it. Yet the truck is still doing the same thing. Struggles to maintain idle then stalls. Any suggestions? This truck was my grandfathers and dont want to see it down. She tries to drive my truck to work and around town 2-3 times a week to keep it from sitting. Any help would be appreciated. I had the plugs replaced last summer when the odo neared 100k. She had the fuel pump and sender replaced a couple months back as well. Any suggestions?
@@SteveRobReviews thanks. My nieces boyfriend is going to help my wife with it this weekend. Hate that I'm halfway around these world and can't work on my stuff.
@@SteveRobReviews nothing they tried worked out, so my wife had it towed into a shop we trust to do diagnostic work. Turns out that the new fuel pump had crapped out already. Good thing it's under warranty and the shop is doing the work for free.
I have a 2010 f150 4.6l that idles rough and has no power under load and stalls when i stop. Throughs codes for 2 3 and 4 misfireing. Changed plugs and coils with no luck. Any ideas?
Well Wayne they are the 2 most likely causes but there's still injector flow , compression and so many other causes . Changed plugs and coils but are they actually working as intended. Faulty connections to mice eating a wiring harness ect. I would look specifically at 2-3-4 all on the same bank , check for spark on each one would be my first thought .
How old is your coolant? Just went through a stalling issue that Ford worked on for three weeks. Changing the coolant fixed everything. My coolant was old. It creates a current and fools the ecu into a lean condition. Causes misfires and poor idling
@@lindseywagner7510 I drained the old coolant,, flushed and refilled with new coolant and distilled water. Fixed everything. When you have weak or old coolant and different types of metal the system becomes a battery. The additional voltage is what I believe throws of the ecu. I thought it might be a weak fuel pump but after I did the first work, before the coolant change I took it to the industrial park and just buried it and it pulled fine so I knew I was getting enough fuel. I bought my truck about 2 years ago and should have changed all the fluids then so I had a base line.
I got a 2010 Lariat 5.4. It would stall 2 or 3 times in a 10-mile city trip every now and then. Never threw a code. Easy restart. Sometimes right after a fill-up it would struggle at start up. Replaced this can and all is well. Thanks.
It matches up exactly with the same part number as from Ford but that's an interesting point - I'm not sure now because there was a bunch of previous numbers too. Hum my friend is a parts manager at Ford I'll ask that question. That may make a difference. Thanks
I would suggest that in every video, as you never know when you have a new watcher, you provide a couple details on your F-150. Examples: year plus engine size.
Good advice Paul as I always do provide the details unless I forget :) . As for this video it's part 2 so on part one is where all the details are provided. Cheers Paul
I had this issue but had no codes come up. What the problem on mine was a loose wire was rubbing on a pulley. I think it was a speed sensor wire. I zip tied it out of the way and have had no problem since
Had this problem it was very costly in 2 different shops for 2weeks -1 month, it ended up being mas air flow sensor. I ended figuring it out . Sometimes shops over look the small . I hope this was the problem, so far 3 weeks now the truck hasn’t stalled!!
Any help, I have a stall and hesitation on my 2002 ford f150, only stalls and hesitation in cold mornings. It cranks fine but stalls after a few miles. Cranks right back up and runs fine. If I warm it up and then go, it runs fine
I cleaned it. I took it off. New mass. New IAC. New everything but fuel pump. It still runs great just has to warm up or be warm weather. It stalls but cranks right back up and runs great. I'm gonna try fuel pump. It will be last to try. Everything else is new. All the little things. It doesn't have any issues in the summer. At all
Well, that's about the only thing I didn't guess, lol. You've figured out how to keep me around another year. Better than a give away. The unknown cliff hangar. LOL :)
Haha always nice to see ya buddy. I'm wondering if you think it is plausible to have the valve stick open on a decel and cause a stall or are you thinking like me it would only run rich and cause a rough idle . I'm not sure on this one at all but so many say it one of the fixes.
I have a 95 F150 300. Engine drops oil pressure and sounds like it wants to stall when coming to a stops. If I switch to neutral, oil pressure comes back to normal and sounds fine. Oil pressure and engine runs fine while driving. Any ideas??
David oil pressure is conditional to rpm so low rpm = low oil pressure as you noticed when it wants to stall. So many things could cause this but I'd make sure the basics are sound . Throttle body is clean , idle air control solenoid is working correctly and no noticable vaccum leaks .
Hi Steve - I got the exact problem 2019 F150 Coyote V8. It’s going into dealer today for warranty about this issue. 16 fuel injectors, 8 upper 8 lower ( gotta remove intake man) 3 lowers (1000psi )they are replacing. All 8 uppers (60psi) perfect. One or 2 lower fuel injectors have a drip.
My friends discount Ford discount was still more expensive - it's like amazon I guess they must buy parts by the box car to sell them so cheap compared to everyone else.
I have a 1998 Expedition, 5.4 v8 triton. Recently I started loosing power while driving to the point that it would shut off. Turns out it was the cat that was clogged so I got it replaced. It fixed the problem but now when I turn on my truck it idles and shuts off if I do not give it gas. It does the same thing while on drive as I stop.
Yes it has and I will do a follow up in the future when it gets to one year. Im sure its the resolve because it would have stalled by now. That was a hard one to figure out. Cheers Mika
Could this also be, if my truck stalls only while giving a turn such as (Uturns)??? Noteven my dealer can find what it is! Its anoying and unexpected! Please help =/
I have a 2011 f-150 5.0 it stalls out and then say low oil pressure when i come to a stop or real slow speeds. It has acceleration issues also excpecially at low speeds. I am able to start it right back up though after it stalls out
I have a 2011 F150 5.0 Coyote....l changed the purge valve and l'm still having the stalling issue at stops runs great when driving down the road...no codes....any ideas what i can try?
I have an 07 f150 standard that everytime I downshift to stop at a light, the rpms bounces to very very low and dies. I don't have the money to take it to a shop but I'll try to fix it myself. Any idea on what it could be??? I'm lost on this and stressing over how much its going to cost to get it running right. HELP PLEASE!!! 😳😳😳😳
The videos I've seen had Triton on the engines and 5.something engines... mines a 4.2 v6. Is it all basically same on top? The Triton was totally different on top .
you could also try cleaning the MAF using CRC Industries Mass Air Flow Sensor cleaner. And if your going to clean the throttle body off the truck..you'll want to do a relearn process. Just google throttle body relearn process for your truck. Just did all this recently.
Had Ford stalling issue. Spent 3 weeks and @$1000 at the dealers and we could not find the issue. In the end I solved it by changing my coolant. Old, weak coolant causes the cooling system to become a battery and the current throws off the ecu into a lean condition causing misfires and stalling at idle. No scanner detected this and the Ford garage still doesn't believe it. Just finished a 2500 mile test run with no stalling. Items I did address before the coolant: Replaced trans speed sensor Replaced ecu Replaced air filter Replaced fuel filter Replaced spark plugs Cleaned MAS Cleaned throttle bodies Cleaned IAC valve All vacuum hosed checked Issue was still there. Changed coolant, issue gone and has not come back.
@@SteveRobReviews Yep, liked what you said about sharing info through these videos. The interesting issue is that it does not throw a code so you have to look for it. I saw this over 20 years back on a Chevy Celebrity. The mechanic tried everything he could to get my mother in laws car running. The last thing he did was check the coolant and it was throwing some serious voltage. Changed it and everything worked. In my case the Ford scan did show I had electrical issues so after I checked all the easy stuff I went back to how do you get electrical interference? Thank you again for posting your videos to help people!
Omg why didn't I see this comment weeks ago!!! I just bought a coolant sensor. Crossing my fingers. I will let u know how it goes. I also cleaned throttle body, new throttle position sensor, also had a naked wire going to my coils so spliced and out new wire cover connector on that one coil. Checked all fuses, fuel pump is fine. Cleaned MAF sensor. I was literally about to get a trans speed sensor right before I read your comment! So thank God because I knew it was something electrical shorting out or throwing off my power that goes to the pcm. Someone told me that I probably fix the problem but that I would have to get my PCM flashed. Even though that isn't all that much money it's a huge inconvenience for me. being that I'm a female people think I don't know what I'm doing but I obviously do consider and I just went down the list exactly what you did is what I did first except I was about to get the trans speed sensor. but the only reason I was going to get that before the coolant sensor was because I have a driveway that's very muddy and throws up a lot of mud and I figured maybe I hit something and got the sensor damage or loose so wasn't sure. Here I go 🤪
@@lindseywagner7510 If you need an ecu I now have a known good spare . Hope you get it sorted. Changing my coolant was the last thing I did and that took care of it.
oh and mine also didnt throw a code... until the point where I broke down. I had to have the actual OBD2 plugged in for the code to ever read. So you have to have it plugged in when you break down for it to read any code. And as soon as you turn off the car the codes gone. it's something I've never seen before but it actually does not read a code if you plug it in after you take your trip but it does read a code if you have obd2 plugged in when it actually stalls out. and the reason I actually have my plugged and was because I was doing the live data trying to look at my CAT, fuel, open loop and close loop and all that and see what it read and if I was sparking normal, if the maf was reading normal. So yeah definitely weird that this issue doesn't throw a code. What I find so funny is how you will realize that the mechanics don't know a lot about vehicles like u think they would considering when you bring it in and they dont know s*** about your 99 Ford f150 and I've even had newer cars they don't know anything about crap they have to troubleshoot it the same way we are right now like watching videos, and going on threads and investigating the situation. That's exactly how they do it too so don't waste your money. once again if it throws a code and it's something simple than yet they can figure that out but it's something like this that you have to investigate just do it yourself. Unless of course you have plenty of money and no time to spare but be prepared for your vehicle to sit there for minimum two days being troubleshooted and investigated so really your not saving time because you still have to take your car and rent a vehicle and then pick up your car and return rented vehicle. So yeah I would rather figure it out on my own. Besides I learn a lot through the process.
Mine is an 87 F150 XLT LARIAT and its weird. It dies randomly. It doesn't do it every day Yesterday it died 8 times all day. Today once. If it dies and I just try to start it without turning off the ignition it won't start. When I turn the ignition off then try, it starts rigbt up every time. Changed the idle control thingy, the Egr valve and the cap and rotor, plugs and wires thus far. Could it be my ignition control module?
Well it looks like your turning off the ignition switch to off then on gets it to restart so I would be looking at the control side of your ignition from a faulty ignition switch , that's my first thought . I would wiggle the ignition switch while parked and see if you can jiggle it to shut off.
@@SteveRobReviews so I did what u said and jiggled the key and it does shut off but not when I jiggle the key up and down but when its jiggled in the rolling back towards me direction as if you're shutting the ignition off with the wings on the ignition almost to the key off position. Right before the click as if you were to shut it off. I changed the coil and it did die on my way to work this morning. Should I try the pick up coul in the distributor? All this pretty much started when I decided to wash the engine bay.. so im wondering if I got something wet or gunk on something I shouldn't have...
@@SteveRobReviews oh and by the way my check engine lights is on but doing the jumper in the EEC connectors doesn't do anything with the light. Get no codes
@@rickyfranklin9343 Well it seems your replacing parts in Hope's of finding the fault , you may run out of money before you run out of guesses 🤣 I would imagine whatever got wet may be a fault but you could have a wire under the hood that's rubbed bare and randomly touched metal and shuts the engine off . I would look under the hood at your wiring harnesses before changing more parts . These intermittent faults can be real hard to find .
I am back Steve, I noticed the truck stalls, stops my fORD 1990 F 140 4.9 because the battery gets too hot. I mentioned it to the guys and one said 'thats a common problem with those trucks because the ignition coil too close to the motor. Another mentioned the it was the ignition part that is close to the battery. I will start with the first and see what happens. Imention this so it may be of help to someone else.
@@reefjunkie9018 First thing I would do that is so easy is clean your throttle body , takes 5 minutes and it will instantly show a result or not if your minimum air is being plugged with deposits.
Mike it could be a lot of things but the first check would be a total scan of the vehicle , not generac scan data but OEM . Start there for any codes .
Paul suggested it could be fuel related between summer and winter blends. Seems a logical idea since he sees this more than I. The purge valve is a long shot in my mind trying to think if it could stick and stall out the truck on a decel or just make it run rich. A bit above my pay grade so this is the next logical cheapest fix I can come up with that has been suggested as a common fix by some . I will report back the first time it stalls again or doesn't in 2018 . Reply ·
Found a similar problem with a 2010 E350 I'm working on replace canister purge valve and still had the same problem It only stalls when you're coasting up to a stop sign or a corner and then go through it turn the wheel and it'll stall. Foot on the gas or taking off from a stop sign or a stoplight all the power in the world no hesitation no dropping cylinders or stumbling goes through the RPM power band just fine it's only coasting to a stop and then turning.
@@SteveRobReviews It didn't with mine but a very quick update called a good friend of mine whose had this problem before and sure enough it was something very simple and stupid. So on the vans that have that canister style air filter... The mass air flow sensor wiring harness goes through the side of it before it plugs into the MAF itself. Around the wiring harness is a rubber puck which seals up the air gap behind the mass airflow sensor where the wiring harness comes through the plastic casing. It often times likes to work itself free and sometimes the wiring harness itself going through the center of that rubber puck creates an air gap. You wouldn't think that would be enough but he suggested sealing it up with some silicone... Sure enough idling problems solved. I've always known that Ford mass air flow sensors are very sensitive I've known people who've put cold air intakes on their f-150s and f250s and get lean codes. But an air leak just about the size of a half a dime was causing the issue
Paul may just have something there about the blends since you say the problem only shows up around 8 or 9 months. Different fuel blends between that far apart. Hope it works out that it's the purge valve and keeping fingers crossed for you.
+stuzman Paul is sharp as a tack and its a logical explanation but not one I can do anything with. I don't like to bug guys on youtube but Paul dosent mind me asking and hes more than likely right. Let see in 2018 how it goes as this is a commonly mentioned fix as well.
Okay Steve I have a 2000 Ford F-250 V10 super duty that's doing the exact same thing it's been in the Ford motor shop over 2 weeks and they cannot figure it out runs perfect at idle soon as you get in it to drive it around come to a stop sign stop light etc shuts off they replace the module sensor that did not help it
Tina my friend at my ford dealership never had a clue what was causing the stall and if there is no code they look at pattern failures and none popped up. I was told the evaporative purge valve could never make it so rich to cause a stall but I was right and the high techs at Ford were so wrong . Mine was not expensive and my wife refused to drive the truck as is so the cost was an easy choice.
@@SteveRobReviews do you think it could be the same thing that was causing yours to do that The evaporated purge valve and yes they're not getting any codes either thank you for replying
I have a 1997 f 150 4.2 v6 runs good but it does stall some times I put a new fuel filter it was good for a few days then same crap stalling I've heard the spark plugs come lose on f150 maybe that's the problem because I bought it three years ago first two years ran perfect didn't stall at all.
Wayne if changing the fuel filter fixed it from stalling for a couple of days then maybe you have lots of dirt in your fuel tank. I'm thinking if your truck stalled every day and a new fuel filter fixed it temporarily them maybe its lack of fuel or another plugged filter.
I hope it works. Been down that road before.My old nissan truck gave me a fit for 23 years before i fixed it.All it needed was a wire tie problem salved.
I had thought before that it might be fuel related, Your last said something about left turn so I was thinking that fuel was shifting in the tank & getting pushed back into the EVAP system so that's why I asked about fuel level. I do recall a video (might have been Scanner Danner or maybe SMA) that they mention a common EVAP problem due to the change in fuel blend. I hope that fixes your problem.
I’m having the same problem I believe mine happens every now and then but at a stop light then it feels like as soon as the light turns green it dies and shows the oil pressure light however the truck will allow me to restart it right away then goes back to driving like normal do you think I have the same issue? And has it resolved yours?
Brock that is exactly the same as mine was. It was the fix for mine and it's been one year since I installed the new part. It will take you about 5 minutes to change it yourself. Let me know the results. Cheers
the 5.4engines, 4.6 too. they are throw away engines. they say use 5-20w. it is too thin for worn engines, such as over 100,000 miles. the engines get worn and the hot oil pressure coming to a stop drops so low it is below the computer engine cut off pressure and the engine stalls. restart give the pressure switch a jolt of higher pressure and the computer allow the engine to start. it happens with mine. i put heavier oil in it and lucas oil stabilizer and it seems to have done the trick. the oil pressure guage in the ford trucks is fake other than off and on for the computer. all those other fixes won't correct low oil pressure at high temperatures
i got a 97 for club wagon 5.4 v8 and i been noticing when i run the air after a while and i am at stop signs it will all the sudden idle down and start running rich stumbling. i turn the air off and put it in neutral rev it a few times it goes back to normal seems to be like s switch kicks on and starts flooding the system any ideas? thanks you for any help
Someone help me please. My ford f150 5.0 will start up and I can drive to the corner and then it acts like it's starving for gas and WILL die but it WILL start right back up everytime and do the same thing. Help me please
2005 ford expedition did a timming chain job new plugs new colils now she runs good when cold but when in normal temp she feels like its going to fall apart several codes po171 something about high oil temp and po174
I have this problem but it’s EVERYDAY. it stalls on me at red lights, stop signs and when I’m turning into parking lots every single day. The truck will beep and the oil gauge will drop... I hope this part fixes it.
It has been over one year and I have not had one stall since replacing the evaporative purge valve found under the hood . Cheers
Good to hear, my 2010 f150 just started this a month ago. Cleaned the throttle body and was looking at common issues and plan on changing this part out. It seemed like the throttle fixed it but it did it today leaving the gas station.
STEVE ROB REVIEWS can you please put up a link to the part. Thanks in advance
James the part is model specific depending on OEM or aftermarket so it's best to search your specific vehicle .
Was it going dead when it got hot like over 95 outside
@@johnnyarnett4904 Nope it was not temperature related at all. It was very infrequent but always on a deceleration to a stop. Glad the purge valve fix it. Cheers
Thank you. My 2006 F150 4.6 was stalling at stop lights. Thank goodness the dealer didn't have time to look at the truck. Decided to search you tube and found you. Replaced the Vapor Canister purge valve and the truck runs great. Thanks Steve, if ever in the San Diego area look me up and I'll buy you lunch.
Awesome bud , so glad to have helped 👍
Hey bro! Im having the same problem! Did your fuel pump kick on or not? I just changed my fuel pump driver module and still no luck. I'll try changing the purge valve put before I do I need to know if you heard the pump or not before changing this valve! I've watched 1874328 videos and not one mentioned fuel pump kicking on or not!!! Wtf
This is all about stalling after starting caused by a faulty purge valve not a faulty fuel pump or fuel related . If your fuel pump is not turning on that's a totally different problem.
Thanks Steve I have an F-150, 2016 and start stalling. My mechanic doesn’t know about that problem, but thanks to you now I know.
No codes for direction so we look at pattern failures when we experience intermittent faults. Cheers 👍
I have a 2010 F150 that was experiencing stalling and a ton of O2 sensor codes, mine would act up more frequently right after filling up. Rolled the dice ordered the vapor purge valve. Haven't had a single issue since. 3 fill-ups no issues. Thanks for posting this video I would have never looked at this! I felt like I was driving an old Dodge with vapor lock....
So nice to see itresolved your stalling , mine has not stalled since . Cheers
Hello everyone I have a 96 f150 5.0 if it’s any wormer than 80 the truck will not start right away and after driving no more than 5 mile it’s stalls but it’s not over heating I am not able to Figure it out any ideas
My 2017 king ranch 5.0l was stalling at idle after filling gas tank, $38 evap purge valve from auto zone fixed issue. Diaphragm had pinhole and couldn’t hold vacuum. Thanks for video, very helpful

Hello, my Ford 1990 F150 4.9 L stalls on reverse after driving for a while, it did right in the middle of the parking lot, could not re-start the truck, then fr some reason I did not have my cables nor anybody else to have given me a jump. After about 30 minutes I decided to start it AND IT DID START!! And I got back home. It did again after a month, and this time as I lifted the hood, I noticed a bit of fluid had come out of a couple of Battery cells, I suspected it overheats. After 20 minutes I tried to start it and it started, went back home. So now the question is.....What is causing this overheating? I checked it for shorts, but I found none, what do I need to check and fix? Thanks a lot for the advice.
I'd put a battery tester on and do a proper test . Could be many things but starting at the battery and verifying it's healthy is a good start.
2007 F150 4.6 liter. never has stalling issues before. i replaced the manifolds and EGR Valve because of rust issues. and exhaust fumes. no spudder truck runs good....But now the truck is stalling at a stop light. intermittent. usually after been used for more than 10 min. Any one with similar issues. Getting a EGR code 0401 code anything else to replace.....??
Seems your computer is still setting insufficient flow . Check for blockages would be my best guess.
I have a 95 Ford bronco 5.0 e40D trans it will shut off in drive but I can drop it down in 1st and shift gears to drive (while driving down the road) and its fine but if I come to a stop in drive and it shuts off, do you think that might be the issue
I wouldn't guess , definatey not the same as mine.
Another thing to check is to see if the 20 amp fuse #27 in the under hood fuse box has been relocated to #70. This fuse powers the injectors and has melted in half on my truck.
Looking forward to your update in 2019! Little Stevie will be walking by then!
The clock is ticking buddy .
🎉 I drive a 1995 Ford F150 6 cylinder. The other day I was driving in town and it stopped very quickly. I let it sit for a few minutes it started right back up again. I thought it might be the gas but it didn't seem to be the obstacle. I tried it again on a cooler day. Got almost to where I was going and it did it again. The power steering on the truck seems like it was hard to turn. Single single elderly female here in Oklahoma cannot afford a mechanic and them looking and searching for shade tree mechanic. Any thoughts on this
Could be so many things so a 95 is not so easy to diagnose as it's pre computers as we have today .
im having the same issue 92 f150
@@cameron_9760 I am going to try to change out my fuel filter and see if that helps
Good job boss. I have a f150 ford 5.4 I put a new fuel pump and new fuel filter new battery and new Crank sensor and cam sensor no fule mod on it I can't find what the problem is. Would you now
Wow it's time for a pro to look at it before you run out of guesses:)
2:18 what do you mean when the fuel changes from summer to winter?
My 1993 f250 5.8l has a similar issue where it dies as im coming to a stop... no codes and dealership is clueless
In areas where there is a winter all fuel is changed from winter grade to summer grade blends for best performance. In your case 3 items may be worth checking into . Idle position sensor, throttle body needs cleaning , vaccum leak.
The colder the temperature the denser the air. That also affects air fuel mix and also octane level as well. Especially for vehicles with flex fuels
I have a 2007 ford expedition and same thing drives well til u get to a stop and it wants to act like its going to stall idk what it is any info for me will help plz?
Where you able to resolve the problem? My ex wife does that. Really lace some parts and ready to push this POS of the cliff.
Great vid Steve but it begs the question... out of all the techs at Ford, none of them could figure it out? I guess they're trained to follow a certain test pattern and see if anything comes up.... it's great that one of your subs figured it out, amazing in fact!
It's tough on a fault so infrequent - lets see if this is the fix. Ok lets hope. Cheers bud
I have 2014 F150 and this past weekend it stalled out 5 x either at a stop light or making a right or left hand turn. The truck only has 32k miles on it. Do you think this purge valve might fix the problem ?
Gary for the low cost it might be the fix as mine did that as well. Cant say it will but it's a logical try.
I have a 03 F150 and it stalls when stopped and will not go. I have to hold gas until it eventually takes off. Not sure if this can fix that problem. Just changed filter and fluid.
Ramon this condition never flooded it with so much fuel not to restart . Your condition I would concentrate on the throttle body and the first thing is clean it and go from there.
I would have never considered this. Will be looking forward to seeing the outcome.
ScannerDanner suggested it could be a seasonal fuel change fault that is seen to affect the trucks but just to see if this part fixes it as its on the list as common fixes as well. If it stalls again I will do a mention. Cheers
I have a 2015 Ford F150 5.0 I read on another video. That the fuel pump drive module can go bad causing the truck to stall out occasionally and idle up and down and shut off. The dealer can't figure it out. Say the vcts and phasers are good. Do you think worth it's a shot to replace? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Dont think you have a fuel pump drive module on the frame under the box at the rear , yes that was a problem . Mine the dealer could not fix either but the evap purge valve under the hood fixed it for good . Ya for $60 its worth a shot.
@@SteveRobReviews I replaced that already no change. I'll try this module I located above the spare tire rack. Can't believe these technicians can't figure it out. Apparently this is a common problem with the 5.0s idle and stall issue. It's less prevalent when it's cold outside too. So annoying only has a 110k on it and really not interested in trading it in lol.
So it stored some codes and after the technician messed with it. It ended up being the vct sensors on my passenger side 2,000 miles since repair no more erratic idling or dying out so we'll see if the problem comes back..
@@LA-TEEZI VCT Solenoids I had two bad ones. It took them looking at my truck 4 different times to figure it out.
My son has a 1990 F-150 302 E.F.I that has the same problem. I was helping him fix it and noticed there was some vacuum lines plugged with bolts and I believe the purge valve removed. We have 2 canisters one of them completely disconnected. Would you have a picture,diagram or video so we can see what's missing? I'm currently looking for a local vehicle to compare...Thanks
Dave I have done exactly what you want to do . I went to my Ford dealer and they were more than happy to print off a ford diagram showing all the parts and routings. If you go to Fords online parts web page they have the exact same diagrams if your is available for that year. Give that a try.
@@SteveRobReviews Thank you.
Mine has stalled just a couple times normally when off-road in low range four wheel drive idling down a hill.
Today it's stalled or almost stalled while turning into a parking space at extremely slow speed so I'm going to have to look into this.
Did it work?? I have an 05 f150 and it just started doing this to me. And it was 90 degrees all summer until about 3 days ago up here in Minnesota, it’s been in the 40’s the last 3 days. It’s only happened twice. But mine doesn’t run that great to begin with.
Solved the stalling instantly .
Same here... Minnesota hahaha
did this valve also fix the low oil pressure light you where talking about in the first video?
The low oil light automatically goes on if the engine stalls. There was no fault with the oil light. Cheers 👍
Sweet thank you
Good luck Steve, I never would of thought of that. I have a lot of friends buy parts from Rock Auto and they have good luck with the parts.
It's a guess at this time and rock auto is a powerhouse for prices. Cheers Ron
I have a 2015 5.0 f150 lariat that is doing the same thing. Im gonna try the same thing. Gotta find the part you changed. Ty for your video
Hey Steve , I changed out the vapor canister purge valve and still my truck stalls out . Do you think it could be the fuel modulation controller ?
Gary if it didnt resolve it I would see if your local ford dealer has any idea . Its not going to be easy doing it on your own as you may run out of money before you run out of guesses :)
Hey Steve , My problem was The Fuel Pump relay P/N 8T2Z14N089D FOR $22.00 Since I changed that out my truck hasn't stalled.
Good news and a low cost fix 👍
My 2014 has been doing the same thing for some time now only on deaccleration and I replaced my purge valve and still having the same issues. Any other ideas? Thank you
Yes the throttle body may be real dirty so try cleaning it and go from there .
pull out the eec (computer) look at the circuit board and see if there is brown gunk on the board from leaky capacitors.
I love this guys passion. 👍
Thanks bud much appreciated 👍
Is you’re truck the V8 or V6? I’m having that issue with my V6
V8 4.6 liter. Your engine would have a evap purge valve too.
Hi Steve I have 2010 F150 4.6 engine so far so good no problems stalling out but I'll keep this video in mind if it ever happens.Thanks
If it hasn't happened by now it most likely will never happen I guess. Take Care Aubrey
We have had our 2013 F150 in the shop for a week. It would not start, not even turn over just a small click. We found a couple of videos with this same problem. But with our truck in the shop, it would not not start. So we had them replace the purge valve & then it wouldn’t start. They finally found that connections at the body control module, PCM relay was bad. So fingers crossed the replacement of both these will fix the problem.
Wonder if it could be the fuel pump driver module.... just winging it, so it might well not be, shrug... Hadn't ever heard of that, until I started searching CZcams, shrug...
Seems like it’s the relay mmm looks like I’m going grocery shopping at the junk yard maybe a few computers and most definitely grabbing some Relays and coil packs 😂
Twice my 01 Excursion stalled and cut off after a long drive. I did a full maintenance, (spark plugs, coils, oil change, fuel filter) and still stalled and cut out. Any suggestions or advice???
Throttle body cleaning is the first thought.
Egr vale or catalytic converter?
Good luck! Hopefully it keeps your motor running
I'm just hoping as much as you .
I have a 1985 f150 lariat and it would die on me randomly while driving, i changed the tfi module and it turned on but then when i drove it it started stalling bad untill it wouldnt turn back on, now it doesnt turn on even after i changed out the ignition coil
Wow , whatever it is it can be tested and fixed.
Did this work? I’m currently dealing with this issue. Has been happening on and off for 2 years now and no one can tell me why.
Yes absolutely fixed 100%
That's crazy that an employee discount couldn't beat that price. I would have never guessed. Hopefully that part gets it done for you. It's such an annoying issue to have the vehicle dying. Cheers Steve!
I can't get over the price either and its a Ford OEM part. Lets see in 2018 if it fixes it.
My 2005 f150 4.6 stalled when I was coasting to a red light. Started right back up but check engine light was on. Got a scan, several codes....P0401, P0109, P2198, P2196. Where do I start?? Help!!!
Also stalled a week later while driving at 40mph on a straight road.
Wow where do I start is right is a great question . The codes will give you a clue as to where to start and some codes are a result of the stall. The 401 egr flow is a good start and go from there . If you want to know how to diagnose the 401 check out my buddies channel he has plenty of Ford 401 vids. ScannerDanner , Paul is about the best there is.
Hope that fixes it. I never thought of the gas being different between seasons. Weird. Rock Auto, even though they charge shipping, can't be beat for OEM type repairs. I'm starting to collect the car magnets on the shop fridge!
Their prices are better including a 30 % exchange rate and shipping a lot more and still cheaper than everyplace else. They have ethanol sensors testing the fuel and altering calibrating so yes fuel can play into it but so far so good and time will tell. Cheers
Crossing my fingers for you. Cheers Steve
Mine too buddy a good guess is all I have so far.
Im currently deployed to the middle east and my wife is experiencing the same symptoms on my 2010 4.6 3v. I ordered a purge valve and she replaced it. Yet the truck is still doing the same thing. Struggles to maintain idle then stalls. Any suggestions? This truck was my grandfathers and dont want to see it down. She tries to drive my truck to work and around town 2-3 times a week to keep it from sitting. Any help would be appreciated. I had the plugs replaced last summer when the odo neared 100k. She had the fuel pump and sender replaced a couple months back as well. Any suggestions?
Very odd and could be many items but a dirty throttle body , have someone take a look and see if the throttle body is all carboned up.

Thanks , worth a try.
It sounds about right. unlike my problem.
I have a 2010 f150 4.6l that idles rough and has no power under load and stalls when i stop. Throughs codes for 2 3 and 4 misfireing. Changed plugs and coils with no luck. Any ideas?
Well Wayne they are the 2 most likely causes but there's still injector flow , compression and so many other causes . Changed plugs and coils but are they actually working as intended. Faulty connections to mice eating a wiring harness ect. I would look specifically at 2-3-4 all on the same bank , check for spark on each one would be my first thought .
How old is your coolant? Just went through a stalling issue that Ford worked on for three weeks. Changing the coolant fixed everything. My coolant was old. It creates a current and fools the ecu into a lean condition. Causes misfires and poor idling
I change my coolant often , that's interesting how coolant could affect it that much , thanks for sharing .
@@fstlnj29 when u say coolant are u saying the coolant sensor or the coolant liquid itself?
@@lindseywagner7510 I drained the old coolant,, flushed and refilled with new coolant and distilled water. Fixed everything. When you have weak or old coolant and different types of metal the system becomes a battery. The additional voltage is what I believe throws of the ecu. I thought it might be a weak fuel pump but after I did the first work, before the coolant change I took it to the industrial park and just buried it and it pulled fine so I knew I was getting enough fuel. I bought my truck about 2 years ago and should have changed all the fluids then so I had a base line.
I got a 2010 Lariat 5.4. It would stall 2 or 3 times in a 10-mile city trip every now and then. Never threw a code. Easy restart. Sometimes right after a fill-up it would struggle at start up. Replaced this can and all is well. Thanks.
That's terrific 👍
Good luck Steve! Hope it works out 👍🏻
Is this a revised part ? Or the same one they been using?
Hopefully you got a good one👍🏻
It matches up exactly with the same part number as from Ford but that's an interesting point - I'm not sure now because there was a bunch of previous numbers too. Hum my friend is a parts manager at Ford I'll ask that question. That may make a difference. Thanks
I would suggest that in every video, as you never know when you have a new watcher, you provide a couple details on your F-150. Examples: year plus engine size.
Good advice Paul as I always do provide the details unless I forget :) . As for this video it's part 2 so on part one is where all the details are provided. Cheers Paul
@@SteveRobReviews
You know, I feel like an idiot right now. It didn't even register that it was a part two. My bad, sorry.
No problem bud.
I had this issue but had no codes come up. What the problem on mine was a loose wire was rubbing on a pulley. I think it was a speed sensor wire. I zip tied it out of the way and have had no problem since
👍
Had this problem it was very costly in 2 different shops for 2weeks -1 month, it ended up being mas air flow sensor. I ended figuring it out . Sometimes shops over look the small . I hope this was the problem, so far 3 weeks now the truck hasn’t stalled!!
After 3 weeks I'd say it's most likely fixed 👍
Going to try this…2015 Lariat with 100k miles….starting stalling and rough idle
Any help, I have a stall and hesitation on my 2002 ford f150, only stalls and hesitation in cold mornings. It cranks fine but stalls after a few miles. Cranks right back up and runs fine. If I warm it up and then go, it runs fine
Could be many things but cleaning the throttle body is a good start.
I cleaned it. I took it off. New mass. New IAC. New everything but fuel pump. It still runs great just has to warm up or be warm weather. It stalls but cranks right back up and runs great. I'm gonna try fuel pump. It will be last to try. Everything else is new. All the little things. It doesn't have any issues in the summer. At all
Thanks for help. Any help.
bad capacitors on your eec (computer)
If the eec or computer was bad, it would do it all the time. It only does this in cold weather
Will this work on a 2017 f150 5.0
Don't know you would have to cross reference the engine to see if that part is on your engine.
Another Google recommendation thumbs up thanks 👍
Cheers 👍
What about fuel pump activation noise???? I dont have a fuel pump noise and changed the fuel pump driver model
Mine was not a fuel related fault , the purge valve resolved it for me.
I changed mine and didn't hear the hissing noise just to find out that the "New" part I purchased was faulty. Hopefully up and running by now!
Well, that's about the only thing I didn't guess, lol. You've figured out how to keep me around another year. Better than a give away. The unknown cliff hangar. LOL :)
Haha always nice to see ya buddy. I'm wondering if you think it is plausible to have the valve stick open on a decel and cause a stall or are you thinking like me it would only run rich and cause a rough idle . I'm not sure on this one at all but so many say it one of the fixes.
Vapor canister purge valve..thanks!
👍
I have a 95 F150 300. Engine drops oil pressure and sounds like it wants to stall when coming to a stops. If I switch to neutral, oil pressure comes back to normal and sounds fine. Oil pressure and engine runs fine while driving. Any ideas??
It just started when I just did an oil change and used Mobil 1 5w-20. I’ve read to use 10w-30. Or could be oil pump failing.
David oil pressure is conditional to rpm so low rpm = low oil pressure as you noticed when it wants to stall. So many things could cause this but I'd make sure the basics are sound . Throttle body is clean , idle air control solenoid is working correctly and no noticable vaccum leaks .
The oil change should not likely cause your symptoms .
@@SteveRobReviews thank you for the response! I will check for vacuum leaks and get back
@@SteveRobReviews UPDATE: I changed my oil to 10w 30 and the problem stopped
I wish I could get ford to replace that while my warrant y is still active since this is my problem as well. Guess I'll have to do it my self. Thanks
Hi Steve - I got the exact problem 2019 F150 Coyote V8.
It’s going into dealer today for warranty about this issue. 16 fuel injectors, 8 upper 8 lower ( gotta remove intake man)
3 lowers (1000psi )they are replacing.
All 8 uppers (60psi) perfect.
One or 2 lower fuel injectors have a drip.

@@SteveRobReviews Yeah me too, the upper injectors are 75 a pop, the lowers are 253 a pop.
Was the new part you purchased from Rock a FoMoCo version?
Yes it is a Ford Motorcraft part. I posted the installation pics on instagram if your on it too.
Ford dealer employees generally get cost plus 10% plus local tax. Some dealers just give 10% off retail.
My friends discount Ford discount was still more expensive - it's like amazon I guess they must buy parts by the box car to sell them so cheap compared to everyone else.
I have a 1998 Expedition, 5.4 v8 triton. Recently I started loosing power while driving to the point that it would shut off. Turns out it was the cat that was clogged so I got it replaced. It fixed the problem but now when I turn on my truck it idles and shuts off if I do not give it gas. It does the same thing while on drive as I stop.
Totally fixable , a bit of testing but a good tech can fix it.
Has it worked thus far?
Yes it has and I will do a follow up in the future when it gets to one year. Im sure its the resolve because it would have stalled by now. That was a hard one to figure out. Cheers Mika
Could this also be, if my truck stalls only while giving a turn such as (Uturns)??? Noteven my dealer can find what it is! Its anoying and unexpected! Please help =/
If it is a Ford f150 could be . My dealer said no light on so they cant find it , this did fix it for me over a year now.
Try a Duralast AGM battery. Glasspack not acid.
Good luck! Hope that works!!!
Thanks Chris me too.

Depending on year so many things could cause it , without looking at it - it's tough .

First thing comes to mind is a dirty throttle body . Try cleaning it maybe that's all it is.
@@SteveRobReviews I'll youtube what that is and see if I can get to it myself. Thank you! I'll keep you posted!
The videos I've seen had Triton on the engines and 5.something engines... mines a 4.2 v6. Is it all basically same on top? The Triton was totally different on top .
you could also try cleaning the MAF using CRC Industries Mass Air Flow Sensor cleaner. And if your going to clean the throttle body off the truck..you'll want to do a relearn process. Just google throttle body relearn process for your truck. Just did all this recently.
Had Ford stalling issue. Spent 3 weeks and @$1000 at the dealers and we could not find the issue. In the end I solved it by changing my coolant. Old, weak coolant causes the cooling system to become a battery and the current throws off the ecu into a lean condition causing misfires and stalling at idle. No scanner detected this and the Ford garage still doesn't believe it. Just finished a 2500 mile test run with no stalling.
Items I did address before the coolant:
Replaced trans speed sensor
Replaced ecu
Replaced air filter
Replaced fuel filter
Replaced spark plugs
Cleaned MAS
Cleaned throttle bodies
Cleaned IAC valve
All vacuum hosed checked
Issue was still there.
Changed coolant, issue gone and has not come back.
WoW
@@SteveRobReviews Yep, liked what you said about sharing info through these videos. The interesting issue is that it does not throw a code so you have to look for it. I saw this over 20 years back on a Chevy Celebrity. The mechanic tried everything he could to get my mother in laws car running. The last thing he did was check the coolant and it was throwing some serious voltage. Changed it and everything worked. In my case the Ford scan did show I had electrical issues so after I checked all the easy stuff I went back to how do you get electrical interference? Thank you again for posting your videos to help people!
Omg why didn't I see this comment weeks ago!!! I just bought a coolant sensor. Crossing my fingers. I will let u know how it goes. I also cleaned throttle body, new throttle position sensor, also had a naked wire going to my coils so spliced and out new wire cover connector on that one coil. Checked all fuses, fuel pump is fine. Cleaned MAF sensor. I was literally about to get a trans speed sensor right before I read your comment! So thank God because I knew it was something electrical shorting out or throwing off my power that goes to the pcm. Someone told me that I probably fix the problem but that I would have to get my PCM flashed. Even though that isn't all that much money it's a huge inconvenience for me. being that I'm a female people think I don't know what I'm doing but I obviously do consider and I just went down the list exactly what you did is what I did first except I was about to get the trans speed sensor. but the only reason I was going to get that before the coolant sensor was because I have a driveway that's very muddy and throws up a lot of mud and I figured maybe I hit something and got the sensor damage or loose so wasn't sure. Here I go 🤪
@@lindseywagner7510 If you need an ecu I now have a known good spare . Hope you get it sorted. Changing my coolant was the last thing I did and that took care of it.
oh and mine also didnt throw a code... until the point where I broke down. I had to have the actual OBD2 plugged in for the code to ever read. So you have to have it plugged in when you break down for it to read any code. And as soon as you turn off the car the codes gone. it's something I've never seen before but it actually does not read a code if you plug it in after you take your trip but it does read a code if you have obd2 plugged in when it actually stalls out. and the reason I actually have my plugged and was because I was doing the live data trying to look at my CAT, fuel, open loop and close loop and all that and see what it read and if I was sparking normal, if the maf was reading normal. So yeah definitely weird that this issue doesn't throw a code. What I find so funny is how you will realize that the mechanics don't know a lot about vehicles like u think they would considering when you bring it in and they dont know s*** about your 99 Ford f150 and I've even had newer cars they don't know anything about crap they have to troubleshoot it the same way we are right now like watching videos, and going on threads and investigating the situation. That's exactly how they do it too so don't waste your money. once again if it throws a code and it's something simple than yet they can figure that out but it's something like this that you have to investigate just do it yourself. Unless of course you have plenty of money and no time to spare but be prepared for your vehicle to sit there for minimum two days being troubleshooted and investigated so really your not saving time because you still have to take your car and rent a vehicle and then pick up your car and return rented vehicle. So yeah I would rather figure it out on my own. Besides I learn a lot through the process.
I know its been awhile but dio you have the part # ?
It fixed the stalling . The part is best to get at your dealer . Its a newer updated stock item depending on your country. Cheers
Most certainly hope this part resolves the issue.
I hope it does but only time will prove it or not. Cheers
Mine is an 87 F150 XLT LARIAT and its weird. It dies randomly. It doesn't do it every day
Yesterday it died 8 times all day. Today once. If it dies and I just try to start it without turning off the ignition it won't start. When I turn the ignition off then try, it starts rigbt up every time. Changed the idle control thingy, the Egr valve and the cap and rotor, plugs and wires thus far. Could it be my ignition control module?
And not to mention it doesnt die like its starving for fuel, there's no bogging just dies outta nowhere.
Well it looks like your turning off the ignition switch to off then on gets it to restart so I would be looking at the control side of your ignition from a faulty ignition switch , that's my first thought . I would wiggle the ignition switch while parked and see if you can jiggle it to shut off.
@@SteveRobReviews so I did what u said and jiggled the key and it does shut off but not when I jiggle the key up and down but when its jiggled in the rolling back towards me direction as if you're shutting the ignition off with the wings on the ignition almost to the key off position. Right before the click as if you were to shut it off. I changed the coil and it did die on my way to work this morning. Should I try the pick up coul in the distributor? All this pretty much started when I decided to wash the engine bay.. so im wondering if I got something wet or gunk on something I shouldn't have...
@@SteveRobReviews oh and by the way my check engine lights is on but doing the jumper in the EEC connectors doesn't do anything with the light. Get no codes
@@rickyfranklin9343 Well it seems your replacing parts in Hope's of finding the fault , you may run out of money before you run out of guesses 🤣 I would imagine whatever got wet may be a fault but you could have a wire under the hood that's rubbed bare and randomly touched metal and shuts the engine off . I would look under the hood at your wiring harnesses before changing more parts . These intermittent faults can be real hard to find .
I am back Steve, I noticed the truck stalls, stops my fORD 1990 F 140 4.9 because the battery gets too hot. I mentioned it to the guys and one said 'thats a common problem with those trucks because the ignition coil too close to the motor. Another mentioned the it was the ignition part that is close to the battery. I will start with the first and see what happens. Imention this so it may be of help to someone else.
👍
My 92 4.9 stalls at quick stops and in reverse. Running rough. Not sure what it is yet
@@reefjunkie9018 First thing I would do that is so easy is clean your throttle body , takes 5 minutes and it will instantly show a result or not if your minimum air is being plugged with deposits.
@@reefjunkie9018 Check, clean the Mass Air Flow Sensor
good luck with it,hope it works
Thanks Wallace
Need some help 2006 ford F150 4.6 liters engine,has a weak take off, and rpms drop when coming to a stop, what can it be?
Mike it could be a lot of things but the first check would be a total scan of the vehicle , not generac scan data but OEM . Start there for any codes .
@@SteveRobReviews no codes what so ever
I was thinking it would be the throttle body
Could be , if it's not getting min. air or the MAF sensor is dirty as well it could be . Try cleaning both and see.
Brother if scannerdanner stepped in to help that's about the best direction you could get. I guess I'll stick around for a year to see if it works. :)
Paul suggested it could be fuel related between summer and winter blends. Seems a logical idea since he sees this more than I. The purge valve is a long shot in my mind trying to think if it could stick and stall out the truck on a decel or just make it run rich. A bit above my pay grade so this is the next logical cheapest fix I can come up with that has been suggested as a common fix by some . I will report back the first time it stalls again or doesn't in 2018 .

Sounds good to me. Thanks for pinning my comment.
Found a similar problem with a 2010 E350 I'm working on replace canister purge valve and still had the same problem It only stalls when you're coasting up to a stop sign or a corner and then go through it turn the wheel and it'll stall.
Foot on the gas or taking off from a stop sign or a stoplight all the power in the world no hesitation no dropping cylinders or stumbling goes through the RPM power band just fine it's only coasting to a stop and then turning.
The valve fixed mine .
@@SteveRobReviews It didn't with mine but a very quick update called a good friend of mine whose had this problem before and sure enough it was something very simple and stupid. So on the vans that have that canister style air filter... The mass air flow sensor wiring harness goes through the side of it before it plugs into the MAF itself. Around the wiring harness is a rubber puck which seals up the air gap behind the mass airflow sensor where the wiring harness comes through the plastic casing. It often times likes to work itself free and sometimes the wiring harness itself going through the center of that rubber puck creates an air gap.
You wouldn't think that would be enough but he suggested sealing it up with some silicone... Sure enough idling problems solved.
I've always known that Ford mass air flow sensors are very sensitive I've known people who've put cold air intakes on their f-150s and f250s and get lean codes.
But an air leak just about the size of a half a dime was causing the issue
Paul may just have something there about the blends since you say the problem only shows up around 8 or 9 months. Different fuel blends between that far apart. Hope it works out that it's the purge valve and keeping fingers crossed for you.
+stuzman Paul is sharp as a tack and its a logical explanation but not one I can do anything with. I don't like to bug guys on youtube but Paul dosent mind me asking and hes more than likely right. Let see in 2018 how it goes as this is a commonly mentioned fix as well.
Okay Steve I have a 2000 Ford F-250 V10 super duty that's doing the exact same thing it's been in the Ford motor shop over 2 weeks and they cannot figure it out runs perfect at idle soon as you get in it to drive it around come to a stop sign stop light etc shuts off they replace the module sensor that did not help it
Tina my friend at my ford dealership never had a clue what was causing the stall and if there is no code they look at pattern failures and none popped up. I was told the evaporative purge valve could never make it so rich to cause a stall but I was right and the high techs at Ford were so wrong . Mine was not expensive and my wife refused to drive the truck as is so the cost was an easy choice.
@@SteveRobReviews do you think it could be the same thing that was causing yours to do that The evaporated purge valve and yes they're not getting any codes either thank you for replying
Yes it could be .
@@SteveRobReviews thank you so much
I have a 1997 f 150 4.2 v6 runs good but it does stall some times I put a new fuel filter it was good for a few days then same crap stalling I've heard the spark plugs come lose on f150 maybe that's the problem because I bought it three years ago first two years ran perfect didn't stall at all.
Wayne if changing the fuel filter fixed it from stalling for a couple of days then maybe you have lots of dirt in your fuel tank. I'm thinking if your truck stalled every day and a new fuel filter fixed it temporarily them maybe its lack of fuel or another plugged filter.
Dirty throttle body
I hope it works. Been down that road before.My old nissan truck gave me a fit for 23 years before i fixed it.All it needed was a wire tie problem salved.
I hope so to Danny . Cheers
I had thought before that it might be fuel related, Your last said something about left turn so I was thinking that fuel was shifting in the tank & getting pushed back into the EVAP system so that's why I asked about fuel level. I do recall a video (might have been Scanner Danner or maybe SMA) that they mention a common EVAP problem due to the change in fuel blend. I hope that fixes your problem.
I do remember Paul doing one on fuel as well . These guys are sharp and this is a common resolve for some and maybe me too. Cheers
Fingers crossed 🤞 for you Steve
It's a hail mary at best LOL
What year model is your F150?...
2010
2006 stx
I’m having the same problem I believe mine happens every now and then but at a stop light then it feels like as soon as the light turns green it dies and shows the oil pressure light however the truck will allow me to restart it right away then goes back to driving like normal do you think I have the same issue? And has it resolved yours?
Brock that is exactly the same as mine was. It was the fix for mine and it's been one year since I installed the new part. It will take you about 5 minutes to change it yourself. Let me know the results. Cheers
I wish you the best of luck
Thanks and that's what this need is some luck. Cheers bud
Can vacuum affect this ?
Yes its vaccum operated.
What did you replace?
Evaporative purge valve . Not one stall since I filmed this.
the 5.4engines, 4.6 too. they are throw away engines. they say use 5-20w. it is too thin for worn engines, such as over 100,000 miles.
the engines get worn and the hot oil pressure coming to a stop drops so low it is below the computer engine cut off pressure and the engine stalls. restart give the pressure switch a jolt of higher pressure and the computer allow the engine to start. it happens with mine. i put heavier oil in it and lucas oil stabilizer and it seems to have done the trick. the oil pressure guage in the ford trucks is fake other than off and on for the computer. all those other fixes won't correct low oil pressure at high temperatures
i got a 97 for club wagon 5.4 v8 and i been noticing when i run the air after a while and i am at stop signs it will all the sudden idle down and start running rich stumbling. i turn the air off and put it in neutral rev it a few times it goes back to normal seems to be like s switch kicks on and starts flooding the system any ideas? thanks you for any help
Idle air control solenoid comes to mind , take a look at it and make sure the throttle is clean too , thats pretty easy to start.
sounds like mine...
Someone help me please. My ford f150 5.0 will start up and I can drive to the corner and then it acts like it's starving for gas and WILL die but it WILL start right back up everytime and do the same thing. Help me please
Your going to need a scan tool and read any codes and observe the live data .
Thank you Steve Rob I really appreciate it I will let everyone know what it is when and if I get it fixed 😀
What was the problem mine does the same thing
Have a 2002,the pvc valve rubber 90 sucks air after a while and throws a lean condition on both banks.watch out for that and thanks .
Thanks Jesse will do.
Did it resolve the stall problem?
Yes 100%
So what was the part and where can I get it
Evaporative purge valve drivers side top of engine.
ive noticed that my ford will run crappy right around the 0 temp mark in the winter for some reason
Mine never does that and your never stalls HAHAHA I'd take a bit of running rough any day .
2005 ford expedition did a timming chain job new plugs new colils now she runs good when cold but when in normal temp she feels like its going to fall apart several codes po171 something about high oil temp and po174
Time to check your o2 sensors .
DPFE sensor
Nice relatively cheap fix if this works! Let’s hope for the best!
Yes if it works and only time will tell. Thanks
2013 5.0 any one have a issue for stalling
I have this problem but it’s EVERYDAY. it stalls on me at red lights, stop signs and when I’m turning into parking lots every single day. The truck will beep and the oil gauge will drop... I hope this part fixes it.
Yep its a good chance this is your problem.
I have the same exactly problem as this guy has
@@adanortega8628 Give it try , just might resolve your problem.
I have the same problem, my mechanic does not know how to fix it. did you figure out the fix?
I have a town n country that won’t reverse and a 84 ford custom 250 that won’t go past 45
Time to buy a chevy 😅
@@SteveRobReviews na changed the spark plugs and distribution cap n it’s all good on my first idk about the dam van still
@@SteveRobReviews yes! Then you won’t have to worry about getting stuck anywhere not your driveway!
