Problem starting 2002 Escape- HELP
I have a 2002 Escape 6 cylinder. The past two weeks there has been intermittent problems starting the car. Engine turns over but will not stay running. Fuel Pump seems to engage fien when key is turned on. And engine will start if I apply pressure to the gas pedal but as soon as I release pressure from gas pedal engien stalls. Like I said thsi started approx 2 weeks ago and has been gradually happening more frequently. Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.

Being a 2002, has it been reflashed (should be in the recall)? How many miles? Have you cleaned the throttle body or had it replaced (they like to stick)? It could be the MAF or IAC. It should be throwing a code, many of the chain auto parts stores with service bays will read the code for free.
