Reverse to drive stall - Help!

gigi2924 · 06-21-2008, 11:43 PM

I bought a used 98 Windstar GL with 128000 mi. The second day I had it the check engine light came on and the next day it was off. The third day I had it, I was backing out of a parking spot and as I put it in drive it stalled. It stalled again the next day but only once, every other time I drove it it was fine. Any ideas what could be wrong and estimated price for repair? Thanks

Try a tankflu of a good brand of gasoline with Techron or similar detergent. It really does make a difference.

Your on board computer will store diagnostic codes when the CEL comes on. Many parts stores such as AutoZone, or Advanced auto parts will plug a scanner into your car and check your codes for free.
