Engine dies randomly!!?

You need to report this to Ford. Not the dealership but the actual cooperation or headquarters. He mentioned more and more people needed to call and complain about this issue before they make a big move. I forgot to update you guys with that info....
Heres the number to call. +1 800-392-3673

Should also report it to the NHTSA, since a problem like that could be a safety issue depending on where it stalls out on the road.

Ok thanks. I'm gonna call first thing in the morning. It happened again to day.I noticed it happen when I would Rev in a high rpm like 4 or 5 rpm then put my foot on the clutch. I watched the rpms drop from 4 or 5 rpm then drop to 0 while I was driving. Had to pull over and restart the car. Put the scanner on it no code popped up. Only code that popped up was when it went into limp mode.

Ok that kinda confirms it for me, i tried to remember exactly what i would be doing prior to it turning off and i figured i would be around 4 to 5ish rpm then clutch... So you just confirmed that for me.

This happened to me recently and i have an auto transmission with 500 miles on it i pulled into my drive way and put it in Park when i went to adjust myself and go into drive the car stalled and i tried turning it on but it wouldn't turn over... I saw temp gauge was all the way in H and i let the car cool for a couple hours and it was fine??? But every now and then after a very hard pull (its very rare but it happens) i smell burning cooolant which worries me i check my coolant level and its fine but i just smell a foul odor comming from the car and then when i get home it just dissappears

Car is driving me nuts. Especially since I bought it brand new. Nothing worse then having new car problems smh. I don't smell or see anything, it'll just randomly shut off. Temperature is guage is in the middle. Take it to the dealer. My problem is I have a tune and longtubes. Even though people are having this problem stock, they might try and blame it on the tune, and my Tuner says it has nothing to do with him. I was in it hard one night, went into limp mode and throttle body code popped up. I'm hoping my issues are coming from a bad throttle body

Do these cars have throttle positioning systems? Could this be the problem? Its Having a hard time holding its idle after I decelerate

You do not want to take your car to the dealership with a tune. They will most likely blame it on that. I always set my car to stock tune when going to the dealer as if the dealer writes over your tune, it will make your programmer useless.

Reflash with most current ECU software ... seems like a simple fix.

 

[robmustang201528]

I hope so. I guess I'm still gonna have to put my stock tune back in? So they can update the system and fix the problem? I hope when I put my tune back in, it doesn't overwright what Ford put in.

It would assume not since your tune didn't seem to overwrite the part of the original Ford software that affects this stalling issue. If the tune did, then I'd think you wouldn't even be having the stalling problem.

Talking to a friend of mine who had a similar issue with his 11 5.0. He said spray some throttle body cleaner and some mass air flow sensor cleaner and that will solve your problem. Car has 22000 miles, throttle body and mass air shouldn't be dirty right? Jlt cold air on the car.

Back to square 1. Called Ford and ask them if there was any TSB on the 15 mustang, nothing popped up. They never herd of TSB 15-0128 smfh.

Idk. I have a '16 and mine has died a total of 3 times, though only at idling and not moving thankfully.
