Hi there guys, I recently started to have problems with my 2000 Taurus.
My girlfriend was driving to work, got off the highway, and as she came to a stop, the car stalled, wouldn't start.
She walked the rest of the way, and called me to come get the car.
An hour later when I arrived, the car started fine.
I started to drive it home (about 20 minutes) and when I got off the highway, it stalled again.
Needs to sit like 10 minutes (to cool?) then will start again.
It continues to stall at almost every breaking instance.
I took it in, and they were getting nothing off the computer on the first time, so they cleaned the EGR valve, and I left the mechanics. I got on the highway, and as I was coming off (about 15minutes later) guess what?
Car stalls. Same as before.
I take it in the next day, now on the computer it is telling the mechanic that the cam position sensor is faulty, I replace that, and he sends me on my way.
I get home fine, my girlfriend takes the car grocery shopping, everythings fine that day, we did about 40 KMs with the new sensor.
The very next morning, I get on the highway, go to get off, and as Im starting to break, the car stalls again.
He now has had it for 2 more days, cant figure it out.
He says the computer is now AGAIN telling him that it is the cam position sensor thing, but as that was replaced woth a brand new one less than 50 KMs ago, I am hesitant to think it could be that.
Does anyone please have any suggestions as to what this might be??
