Anyone had episodes of stalling at highway speeds?
My ?96 Mystique has done this five times in rush our traffic. The car will not start until it has set for about 15 minutes. Then it will run for a little while then stall again. The dealership is baffled... The car is equipped with the 170 hp Duratec 2.5L V-6, 4 speed auto trans. It has been a fantastic car up until it turned over 53,000 miles this year. I just paid the damn thing off and received the title in the mail a week before the car decided to stop running.

Dealership has replaced something to do with the timing, the Crank Shaft Sensor (twice), Wiring Harness, Fuel Pump, Fuel Filter, DPSE Fuel Sensor and the Max Air Flow Sensor. I drove it to work and back home on a Friday and put 168 miles on it over the weekend. The car was running great! Monday I did my normal routine and drove to Dallas when water pump had gone out. Replaced the water pump, the seal, thermostat and gasket.

Now I am paranoid to drive it ? in fear something else is about to go. Should I stop the worrying? I really like the car... I would hate to have to go get into a new payment at this time...

Why 2 accounts then?

Why 2 posts even?

If someone doesn't respond immediately and it gets pushed off the front page just do a TTT (To The Top) or any other self post to refresh it.

Also the repetetive posts were only 2 hours apart... :rolleyes: Lots of wait time...
