1999 Ford Escort, Mileage 126,500// My car shuts off when I come to a stop at a stop sign or stop light, my car shuts off. It runs fine, but when I stop it will shudder or turn off. When I turn it back on, I have to give it a lot gas and drop it into gear it will go. I have had the IAC Valve and the DPFE Sensor replaced and it still does it. My mechanic put it on a computer and it didn't show anything else. HELP!

Sounds like a pssible vacuum leak, get a can of spray gumout, and spray the vac lines and manifold area, when the idle changes, you found a leak. DO NOT spray into the throttle bore, Fords have a teflon coating and this stuff eats it off!
