Driving, then coming to a stop or slowing down, when suddenly the engine stops running, and will not re-start. At first it restarted after about 4 hours. Next when it had happened it did not restart until overnight rest. The it started right up and ran for several days when the same thing had happened again. This started the summer of 2007, about a month after the four year extended warranty from the reselling dealer expired. Changed out the "ignition control module," napa replacement part #tp175. But after a couple weeks the same problem started to happen again.engine will not shut off while idling for hours at a time. Only when driven and come to a stop, always restarts hours later!

Two ford dealers and two independent service providers have told me unless it stalls while they have it they can not fix it- it is a sensor or something which doesn't show on the computer code self check scan. The car is worthless as i never know when it will stall and for how long i will sit and wait until it starts again.
