This truck has had a constant stalling problem. It runs fine on the open road but when it I stop for a light or stop sign or make a turn & reapply the accelerator it stumbles, hesitates & stalls. If I am quick enough to back off the accellator & reapply it I can keep it from stalling. If not it will stall. It usually starts right up again but this situation has become dangerous. It has been to ford numerous times for this problem. Ford told me that no codes show up. They told me the only thing was a slight flat spot in the carb. & advised me to have it rebuilt at a carb. Place. I did that & the problem continues.the truck has had a value job, a tuneup with new wires but the problem continues. It also seems to run better if the vacuum hoses on the passenger engine side wall are disconnected. There IS a unit that has 3 vacuume hoses on it that connect there. The truck starts right up in cold or warm weather & idles & runs ok. This problem seems to act up more when the weather IS damp or raining but now it seems to do it at will & only from a start or when reapply the accelerator when making a turn. Overall this truck IS in very good condition as far as the exterior & interior are concerned. I would like to find the problem because I want to keep this truck for transportation. It IS currently off the road because of this problem. I have talked with many machanics & no one seems to know what IS causing it. I know that ford was just ordered to recall vechicles with stalling problems linked to a distriburtor part that over heats & stalls the engine. Any information that you can supply me with as far as finding the problem would be greatly appreciated.
