Re: Ford auto mechanic?

Once it starts idling have you tried maintaining a higher engine speed to see if it still dies? If that suddenly makes it maintain speed then you might just have a massive air intake leak.

Edit: I looked around a little and it appears that this is a fairly common issue on this car, they recommend checking the idle air control valve. then the fuel pump.
