2002 Ford Taurus 02 Taurus Cuts Off When I Get on Brakes

tjones1 · 2010-10-09T11:54:42+00:00

I'm having problems with my 02 Ford Taurus cutting off like its not getting gas. Once i get off my brakes it cut off but will crank back up. It does it about 2 or 3 times while I'm driving. The machanic changed the crank shaft position sensor because it was making a loud noise; he also changed the fuel filter. Thought that was the problem but it continued to cut off. Please help! Thanking you in advanced!

Has the fuel pressure been checked?

There are many sensors that could cause this. Has the check engine light come on? With the new crank sensor, has the noise stopped?

Remove the idle air control motor and see if it is clean and working.
