Not starting
Hi everyone.
1st post. Have done a search and couldn't find the answer.
2005 Ford Escape 3.0. current mileage: 130,000 km.
Im based In Dubai.
Parked the car last night no problem. This morning started the car and drove off. 200 meter down the road car started sputtering. 200 meters further, i tried being hard on the gas it done it more so i took it easy But it stalled and wouldn't start again. The engine Cranks and turns. Sometimes it seems like it will start but just sputters and dies. Other times just keeps turning and no ignition.
Car went in for a service 1000km ago. It had all the filters changed. Spark plugs were done 30,000km ago.
Got it recovered to the dealer. They plugged in the computer, No codes and it still wouldn't start.
They are not sure what is wrong yet. They have to further look into it.
Anyone got any idea what it could be?
Thanks all.

Car requires new PCM, Plugs and ignition coils.
Dealers quoted me 8000 AED. The car is worth 24000 AED max.

About 2 weeks ago our daughterʻs 2005 3.0 Escape had the same thing happen.
The truck would not start. It was taken to a repair shop and the mechanics
installed all new coils, thinking that was the problem.
Upon starting the truck, they managed to damage the new coils.
They finally figured out that it was a bad computer.
New coils
New computer
and
New brakes (it was due)
costed around 4000.00 US
