It randomly stalls intermentently after driving, its more likely to stall more often later in the evening after being drove throughout the day. It happened while rolling at low idle, and while sitting at a stop light twice this week. I read something about a "halls sensing module", if possible explain where it is..is it the same as a "TFI", I because ive already changed that. All help is appreciated.

Does it restart back up?

Stalling when stopping but restarting could be a few issues. Could be a bad/dirty idle air controller or even a bad VSS sensor. Step 1 is to run the engine codes and see what comes up followed by cleaning your IAC and a base idle reset.

Btw, what is a CFD special edition?

I dumped the codes and got a "11" as far as i know that means all good. Ill clean the idle air control valve just to be sure. Testing key on engine off i got a 18 or a 81.

You should actually get three 11s

Key on engine off and then Continuous memory.

After you dump those, start the engine and pull the key on engine running codes.

It was a few 11 codes in a row. The engine running test was where they came up. The 18 or 81 code i got while engine was off. It shut off randomly again earlier, no further symptoms. I got cleaner today to clean IAC and MAF sensor

Start at the top of this checklist and do each step, the next step depends on the one before, mustang5L5 did mention the two most common problems
