After replacing the alternator on my 03 Escape XLT, seems another issue cropped up. Oddly enough, the issue doesn't seem to be related to the alternator or anything we fiddled with at all.
The car will start just fine if it had been sitting for maybe 10-15 minutes or more. But it will stall out upon startup if you just ran it/warmed it up. All the connections seem to be fine.
My uncle seems to think it could be the IAC or the part attached to the airbox, since he hears air 'whooshing' when the car stalls out. Pretty much anything it could be might have to be tested or replaced to find out if it fixes the problem.
