This vehicle is stalling when it is put into gear. It will run in neutral and park, this is not an engine issue however im not ruling out an emissions issue. There was no warning there is no trouble codes the only thing that it does put out is service emissions soon when you put it into gear then it stalls, it will run if you press down on the gas and keep it running it will move and drive with no load noise or clunks from the tranny. If you need any more info please ask I will do the best I can to help you. Just trying to avoid 1000s at the dealer.

It was a bad alternator. After hundreds to figure out what was wrong with it I found someone that actually owned several and he was right on the money. I took this job on myself and let me tell you I will never own another ford product, I know that most all vehicles are built this way now but this was the last straw. Never again will I own something I cant work on.

That will happen on any car a bad battery as well will do the same. Least it's fixed. Howeverr it sounds like it was hunt and peck to fix it or have it diagnosed.
