I have a 95 Contour 2.5 V6 ATX with a similar sounding warm restart problem. I've had this problem for several months now. Usually, on a hot day, after the engine has sat for a while, but not too long, the engine stalls out right after starting accompanied by loud howling noise (moosing?). I took it to the local garage, but they could not reproduce the problem. The conditions are too variable and weather dependent. I cannot reliably predict whether the next warm start will have a problem. Sometimes I just let the engine stall out and the very next restart will be fine. Revving the engine keeps it from stalling, but usually keeps the howling going for longer.
Questions:
1. Is the howling the same "moosing" in the FAQ? The TSB mentions moosing during decelartion but not for warm restarts.
2. If it is moosing, is it a symptom or the cause of the stalling? I'd hate to spend $$$ replacing the ducts, but not fix the stalling problem.
3. Can a shop check the mass airflow sensor? or do they have to catch it behaving badly? (Again, hate to spend $$$ on random fixes.)
In any case, if you solve your problem, please post the fix.
Richard
