Although I bought this used '02 (28k miles) for myself, my on has been driving it, since his is in the body shop (another story entirely).

I have yet to drive it much.

The car has died on him twice while driving. He says it happens when he depresses the clutch to down-shift making a turn on another street. He says it just dies. Otherwise it seems to run fine.
The only oddity I see compared to other cars I've driven is that when taking it out of gear the revs stay up rather than decrease as I release the gas peddle and then slowly come down.

Any thoughts???
 
I took it to the Ford dealer.

They gave me some BS about the injectors and intake.

Air filter was dirty and they said it was jammed up the induction housing.

So they did some magic and I installed a new filter. No stalling so far since.
