last night i got into my car and started it, everything seemed fine until i put it in reverse and once i gave it gas it just stalled out, same thing 2day. does anyone no what is wrong with it?

how long did you let it run before you put it in gear? you need to give the engine a few seconds to run before you throw it in gear and try to go.

i always give it couple seconds to run before i drive it.

I really don't think that should matter. For a healthy fuel injected engine to stall out when put in gear, even when dead cold, isn't normal.

Well is ur car stock or have u done any mods to it yet, when i first crank my car when its cold it wants to stall out when i first drive it try just letting it run for a few minutes to let the engine warm up, that works for me

is your idle jumpy? if so it maybe be one of your vaccumm lines around your intake manifold. one that makes your idle change is usually the one on the fire wall it is to the left of the vaccuum closter on the drivers side if you are looking from the open hood. It is a black plastic box that says ford on the top. Check that to see if it may have any leaks. hope this can help.
