My wife's 2001 allroad 2.7 has been intermittently stalling when placing car
in drive in parking lots(usually) and stepping on gas pedal. car will start to go
then die. will restart every time but then happens again usually two or three times then all is well, and wont happen again for a few days. she also says it has died when coming to a complete stop. no faults stored in dme. i replaced fuel pump due to mileage(144,000) but two days later has happened again. any help would be appreciated.

 

new post, vehicle is now stalling at hwy. speeds. drove it today and all was good,
but intemittent dying could be every other day. feels like a crank sensor type of
stalling. but no code(mac tools generic scanner) . feel like i replaced pump relay and main + relay a year ago for a similar problem.

 

Ok problem fixed !!!! come to find out it felt like a crank(rpm) sensor because it was.
the generic scan tools only read obd emissions related faults IE check engine light. and
the crank sensor is not emissions related, nor does it light the check engine lamp.
