Engine & cooling

I have a 2001 focus zx3 - 5sp that tends to stall when the ac is on. But it may not stall during the "initial" use period. Without warning, it will stall after the vehicle is turned off and then restarted. My service shop checked the computer codes for a problem and nothing came up. Yesterday, it was driven for about 30mins with the ac on (outside temperature around 80+ degrees). The vehicle ran fine with the rpms normal when stopped. The vehicle was turned off for about 90 mins. When attempting to restart ...

it would stall. To get started I needed to keep foot on gas pedal (to maintain a high enough rpm to prevent the stall). If I did not keep the rpms up, vehicle would stall. While driving and stopping, I needed to keep my foot on the gas pedal to maintain the rpms. (This can be challenging with a 5-spd.) The vehicle was then parked for over four hours. It then started without problem and ran normally. During this period I did not have the ac on. I see that this may be a common problem with the focus. However, neither ford motor's customer service line nor the local ford dealer are aware of the problem. The vehicle was taken to a ford dealership (echelon ford) on 6/8/10 for a diagnostic of the problem and they could not recreate it. I was charged $108 for the shop time and still have no technical answer to this critical and potentially fatal problem... *Tr

Dt: contact owns a 2001 ford ranger edge. He bought it new in 8-2001. The next week he started having problems. It would cut off while driving interstate.

engineer meet with him and look at the truck. They agreed to fix the truck. He made an appointment to have these issues resolved. The day he made this appointment is the day that the dealership gave him a memo stating that ford would not warranty the truck unless the consumer signed a document saying that he would pay for the repair work. Otherwise, dealer would not work on it. He took it to four different body shops to find out what was wrong with the truck. They told him the cab was twisted so badly that was why the doors were flying open. The manager of the ford dealership where he purchased the car admitted ford dropped it from a train car and replaced the hood at the factory, and sent it to rusty wallace to liquidate. He has letter from the warranty department stating the warranty was cut off at the regional level.*Ak

(1) There were no events to lead to failure; (2) the engine cam shaft sensor continues to fail. This will be our 5th trip to the dealership for the same sensor. Each time, within 24 hours of it being fixed the engine light is back on again. We have spent over $350 on the same sensor. We have received no explanation as to why the sensor continues to fail. *Ak
