vaccum leak
ford focus stalling at idle but not cutting off the check engine light is on please help so i dont get rip off thanks
The idle setting for a 2001 ford escort zx2 is something that is not owner adjustable. It the idle is off, check for vacuum leaks or a clogged air filter.
A bad camshaft can cause your engine to idle high and overheat. A fuel injector pump that needs to be adjusted can also cause the same problems.
throttle body or idle air control value
idle speed controll or tps throttle sensor
Sorry - You're going to have to be more specific. W-A-Y too little information to even begin to guess what your problem may be.
All Ford vehicles cannot adjust idle nor timing wich is pre-set at the factory and the computer sets the idle and timing, vehicles after 1990 no longer can be adjusted.
there is an idle control on these cars, could also be a problem with your intake, and idle. that's what was wrong with my 2000 focus. i lowered the idle, and changed the air filter.
Could be a leak in the head gasket. From the cylinder to the coolant chambers. Have your cooling system pressure checked.
