engine stalls when hard braking
this pertains to a 1996 ford ESCORT LX sw, w/ at, ac, 230000 miles: recently during the last few months whenever i'm travelling at between 20 and 40 mph and i've had to brake very suddenly and very hard, the engine stalls as soon as the car comes to complete stop. never used to do that before. engine starts up w/o any difficulty afterwards. a/c is NOT on when this happens. engine does NOT do this when i brake normally, i.e., non-panic stop. any ideas on what's causing this and what components to check? any advice would be greatly appreciated ..... tia. |

Make sure a worn out and mis-sensing oil pressure sender isn't overreacting to the oil slosh in the pan and cutting the engine off...and also you have an inertia switch that cuts the fuel pump in the event of a wreck...sometimes they will get "half tripped" like a circuit breaker in your house, and cause momentary fuel cut-out, but normally they will react to hitting bumps and stuff also when that occurs... -- jeffcoslacker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jeffcoslacker's Profile: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...?userid=219638 View this thread: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=615763 http://www.automotiveforums.com |

check for a bad brake booster.
it could cause a bad enough vaccum leak to cut the engine off. try pumping the brakes while sitting still, and see if u can hear a hissing noise coming from the front of the floor. |
