The engine stalls at idle?

1999 Ford Explorer automatic transmission with 60,000 miles. The car after 45 minutes of interstate driving stalled when stopped at exit. The stall felt like I had taken my foot off the clutch of a standard transmission. The engine started and ran well in park and neutral, but when put in gear, immediately stalled. The car would run in reverse, but not well. No previous problems.

Any thoughts?

Your tourqe convertor might need to be replaced

How can you tell if its the torque converter and what kind of price should I expect.

For the past month or 2 whenever I start my car in the morning the car and engine starts shaking and the rpm starts jumping up and down then the car cuts off. After I start the car up a couple more times and it gets warm its fine. But as of 3 days ago, while I was driving the car started to rev but go no where, it wasnt changing gears properly. It feels as tho the tranny was slipping. Now its to the point where I cant drive the car. I was also told by previous mechanics that my transmission fluid was dirty or burnt. Is my tranny done and how much would it cost to fix or replace?

My 99 ford explorer will start and have power but dies. It continues to have power if I give it gas and will drive if I am conitnously giving it gas but will die when I let off of it. Eventually it will kick in, usually after a few seconds of holding the gas in, but lately its been taking longer. The idle runs really low, does this have anything to do with it? And if it does how do I change fix?

When I step on the gas my truck is fuine but when I let off the gas my truck's rpm goes under 1 and then dies on me we've tried a throttle postioning sensor but it just got worse.

I have a 1999 V6 Ford Explorerer XLT with 143,000 miles. A little over a year ago, I started it up and it stalled out. The car continued to stall out unless I kept my foot on the accelorator (in other words it would not idle). I drove it to work which is about 7 miles away. I then returned home after work and I was going to bring it in the shop the next day. The next morning I went to start it up and it was fine. A couple of months later it happened again. It then stopped again, but I still brought it to a repair shop to see if they could diagnose the problem. They ran a full diagnostic test and everything came back fine. They didn't know what the problem was. This has now been happening every couple of months for over a year. The most recent time it happened it went on for over a week. I wouldn't mind but it is dangerous because you have to keep your foot on the accelorator and the break at the same time while driving. Do you have any ideas. Thank you in advance.

It seems as though the weather conditions have nothing to do with it at all. It has happened in the summer and winter. I usually don't drive my car for more than 30 minutes when this is going on and somtimes it goes away as I am driving and other times it seems to go away overnight. I replaced the fuel filter a couple of months ago but it has happened since then. I know this doesn't help much, but there really isn't much of a pattern when this happens. I appreciate any help.

It stalls out when put into gear. Why

The engine turns over, but as soon as you release the gas it stalls and the battery light comes on. The batter guage is at half and it doesn't seem to be draining, so I don't think it's the alternator.

We have had a previoius problem where it was a "hard" start and had to turn it over a couple of times before it would start and stay running.

My 1999 Ford Explorer acts as if it is going to die while idling. If the headlights, the radio, heater, or air conditioner are on, I have to fight to keep it running. Is this an alternator problem?
