Engine "Stalling" and Rumbling
5

Asked by Tyler May 21, 2018 at 09:22 AM about the 2008 Ford Escape XLT V6 AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

To whom it may concern:

Whenever I am stuck in traffic and idling, the car will literally come to a
complete stop and when i accelerate, it will jerk me back and forth and
rumble the entire car the faster I go. It honestly sounded like I had a flat. Any
ideas? I've had the spark plugs replaced and a diagnostics done on the car
with no help. I'm starting to think I'll need to flush my coolant and
transmission fluid.

Thanks!!

Tyler

I had a problem similar problem with my 1989 e-159. I just unplugged and plugged the computer chip back in and it runs like new. You might try that. Good luck. ps. my mechanic couldn't find any problem.
