Well it's my moms car,i borrow it while mine is being repaired .It's a 2004 ford focus se ,4 cylinder,automatic .Yesterday i parked the car at work and put it in park and was putting up the windows when the car just shut off by itself .Today my mom was driving somewhere stopped at a redlight and the car shut off by itself again .It's only doing it when we got it idleing .When we are hitting the gas it runs fine but when we let it idle it just shuts off .

Anyone know what the problem could be ???

Im thinking it's either the mas airflow sensor a psv valve or the map sensor .

What everyone think ?

How low does it idle?

 

just a couple seconds and then just shuts off .It's pissing me off too cause i kinda need this car running good right now .

 

it could be the psv, i'd check that first.

 

that had happened to me wth and 98 ford escort. except my tranny was screwed. it only had 1st and over drive. and when i would stop it would die. to keep from doing so i had to put it in ?neutral? and keep reving the motor, and which to put it in neutral i had to put it in reverse. i replaced the tranny and all was good. hopefully thats not your case.

 

the tranny is perfect on this car ,that's not the case at all .

I'm gonna replace the pcv valve for starters .

 

It could also be the fuel filter...is it throwing any codes?

 

Does it over heat???

 

nope no overheating or anything
