Engine shuts off while driving without warning?

How are you supposed to adapt the gauge to test it

They make adapters for inline testing. Contact the local parts store to see if they can lend or rent one to you.

engine will start but sputters out after a few seconds.i changed the fuel filter @checked the fuel pump which seems to be working fine. what else should i check

Check Fuel Pressure it should be
Key on, engine off 207-276 kPa (30-40 psi)

Engine running 207-276 kPa (30-40 psi)


do you have spark
does the security light on and or blinking

yes there is good fuel pressure every seems to be ok for about ten seconds then engine just shuts off

If you have key with other keys on the same key ring isolate ignition key and try again
can you keep the engine running by holding the gas paddle down
should check for any DTC s codes
if fuel pressure with in spec and have spark
try disconnect MAF sensor and check if it start

Hi Everyone...

I started this topic some time ago and have an update on the stalling of my 2005 Ford Explorer. Not every time but often when the cruise control is on and I press the '-' (minus) button to slow down the engine may stall. I just reproduced this problem 5 or 6 times this afternoon since there was minimal traffic in my town today. Since I plan on buying a newer car I will mention this issue to whomever ends up with the vehicle.

Just wanted y'all to know...
Thanks for every one`s help!
Tom
