Engine shut off while idling it cranks but will not start?

But now the charger is not plugged in and the car still will not start

Also Tried to disconnect the charger all together and still will not start and all the fuses are fine as well

I was driving the other night and all of a sudden the engine was revving, jumping up to 3RPM. I pulled into a parking lot and put the car in park which was followed with a noise similar to dropping a bunch of change on the ground. I put the car in drive to move it into a parking space and again the engine revved without me pushing on the gas pedal. I figured if I turned the car off maybe it would somehow reset itself. Not. It would not start. It turns over but not starting right away, only when I push the gas pedal all the way down for a good 5 mins. The car will start but rev up to around 3RPM then quickly drops and stalls. All the fluids are full, no smell, and looks the way they should. Battery was tested and is ok. No dashboard warning lights come on. My dad has a cheap computer and when we read it, no codes were found. I added fuel injection cleaner which didn't help. I am not driving the car because I don't want to get stranded. What is going on with it?

I have a 2005 Ford Escape. The check engine light came on and a little while later while driving on the highway it stalled and refused to start. I came back in the daylight to look at it and the engine will start but dies after a few seconds. I was told that it was a bad Idle Air Control valve but I replaced it and it still will start and run for a few seconds before dying again. When it does start its really rough and wont idle. It will not stay running even when feathering the throttle. It will not rev over 2000 rpm. Hope you can help. Thanks

My alternator went out I replaced it with brand new one. Reset the inertia switch checked all the fuses still nothing. It cranks but does not start.

The motor turns over, but it does not start. I check the timing chain and it is good, the cam is turning over, the crank is tuning, the pistons are moving, but I am not getting compression at all. So what should check now? I will say the motor is tuning over like the timing chain was broke. Would the timing not right cause the motor not have compression?

Yes I checked it with a compression gauge and yes I check the fuel pressure.I know if I didnt have fuel that it would not start, but that would not stop the no compression I have, so what else could stop the no compression?

The readings for the compression is 0 on all 4cly.

Ok sure will thinks
