5.4L 2003 Ford Excursion XL stalling/shuts off or dies at random times
Hello, I have a problem with my 5.4L 2003 Ford Excursion. It would run well,
but while driving, it would just die on me. Wait 3 minutes, start it up again, then
another 200 yards, it would die again. This happened to me three times on the
freeway. There would be no consistency either, as it would just die at random
times. Sometimes, if I start the car, the car would not start, it would just crank
the engine, and I would have to wait a little longer to start it up again.
In hopes of solving this problem, I went to my local mechanic, he scanned the
car, but there was no code that showed up. So he guessed that it would be the
spark plug. Then I went to another mechanic shop, no code showed up either,
suggested he said that it was the fuel pump. So, I paid $445 (including parts
and labor) for it to be changed, picked it up on Saturday August 1st, drove to
my house with it working fine, then not even three days later, today, on Tuesday
August 4th, the car died on me seven times.
Filled with frustration, I don't want to spend more money trying to fix something
that won't solve my problem, which is why I am turning to the internet in hopes
of finding others who have/had the same problem and any suggestions on
ways to fix it please. Any advice, help, and ways to solve this problem would be
great.
