My tour stalls when i rev it up. When I give it some gas the rpms go up but when I stop the rpm's drop all the way down. It doesn't do it all the time. I can drive it but if I am going a high speed and come to a stop at a light it sometimes stalls. Today is the frist time it does this I need help.

Year? Engine? Transmission? Modifications? Odometer? Driving conditions/weather/etc.?

Without any more info, I would venture to guess that your Idle Air Control (IAC) valve is sticking. Usually, a good cleaning is all that is needed. If that doesn't do it, it is a reasonably easy (5-30 minutes) and cheap (<$50) replacement job.

if anyone has any expertise in this area with the contour i would defer to their info.....but i had a taurus before my tour that would stall on me in traffic on a regular basis....if i stopped for a light and could stop gradually it would be ok...but if i had to stop hard or suddenly the engine would die everytime....

problem was a tranny on its way out once i replaced the transmission the stalling went away

It's a 96 v6 with 73,000miles at 60,000 I clean out the intake manafold so it shouldn't be that. As for mods all I have done to the engine is 8mm plug,K&N, and bosh plat4 and that was at 60,000 with the cleaning. The I1dle Air Control how can I test it to find out if its sticking. Can you you post a pic of how it looks like or tell where to find it.
