Hi, My 2003 Ford Expedition stalls immediately after starting. I can keep it running but I have to press the gas pedal and it runs really rough when I do this. If I let it idle it just stalls out. Any ideas?

Hello

Based off of what you said, it sounds like it may be the fuel pump. Check the fuel pressure. Should be about 50 psi with key on, engine off or even with the engine running.

Also, if you can get it there or check it out on the loan a tool program, you could go to Auto Zone or O’Reilly’s and for free they can pull the codes to the car. While there for free also they can bring their tester out and check your battery, alternator and starter.

Hope this helps – let us know
