Asked on October 7, 2012

My ford freestyle 07 engine stalls after installing a new battery, any idea why?

The problem never happens on the first start, it only happens when I stopped the car and start again, I have to keep pressing the gas pedal for the engine to stay on! I have checked the battery, alternator and the battery connection they are all good.
