Unhappy Help!!! Bad Squeal and Engine keeps stalling
Hello All!
Someone please help me! I beg of you! I have a 2001 Ford Escape with a V-6 with 115,000. It has been great since the day I bought it new! But today out of the blue (The wife was driving it) I stalling at a major intersection and would not restart. I got there and finally got it to start. It had a very LOUD squeal! Like a bad alternator (the noise is in the same area (Around there) but it sounds like it might be behind the timing cover. The car keeps stalling out and is very hard to restart. Any Ideas what might be wrong? Thanks Soooo very much for any help!

Hey BroncoJoe,
Thanks for the reply! I have pulled the belt off the Escape (As ElectrolysisDoc Suggested) and the noise is still there. (sound like it is coming from under/behind the Valve/timing belt cover) Looks like I have to take the plenum/intake manifold off to get the valve cover off. Then I can pull the timing cover off. Any other Ideas about what the noise might be? Thanks SOOOOO Much!

No need to throw duplicate posts all over the forum for the same issue. I locked your other thread.

See this thread. And maybe do a search on CPS (Camshaft position sensor) and synchronizer
