Is the engine light still on? If so scan it and get the codes. Most parts stores will do a free scan. Once scanned write down the codes and then clear them and get back to me with the codes ok.

Hello all, please I have similar problem but in different form. I bought my car Ford Escape 2008 V6 Limited version last year at 107k miles, but presently with 120k miles range. Recently I was declining from hill when I sudenly lose power on my accelerator and "check engine sign" showed in yellow on my dashboard with oil an battery indicator in Red. I put of the ignition and restart, to drive it home, but the check engine sign remain on the dashboard. After diagnostic scan code P0191 Fuell rail pressure sensor circuit/performance was shown and it was changes. After one week of using, it came up while was on hiighway at 120km. I was able to manage it back to the mechanic. And a routin service was carried on it. He advice I drive it for a complete cycle to see it will happen again. 3days after, its occur again (i.E the engine lose power, that accelerator was ineffective and check engine sign came up) while my wife was driving BUT this time when she put it off and re-start the engine, lo there was no check engine sign again. But has anyone experience such issues on his SUV either tribute or mazda of same model. What did you change apart from Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor? It happens again on Saturday, the check engine sign came up and engine short-off. Several attempt to restart was going of intermittently. I had to let it rest some few minute before its start. I drove it again to my mechanic and this time we planned to check fuel pump and filter. Has anyone experience this issue before? Thanks for feedback.

Hello,

Yes the fuel rail sensor is trying to tell you the fuel pump is going out and needs replacement, here is a guide that will show you what you are in for when doing the job.

what's wrong with your car when it sputters, and its not idleing right.
I went to auto zone because the check engine light was coming on and the machine told me that it was showing insufficient flow to the EGR valve.

What you probably have wrong is what is called a Delta Pressure Feedback EGR(DPFE) Get one from the dealer only. I have seen the aftermarket sensors not work well. HTH.

Please tell me what codes that you are getting before you replace the EGR valve. Many, and I mean many people have replaced EGR valve for the wrong reasons. And what makes you think your EGR valve needs replacing.
