    Hi my 2003 Ford escape shakes on stop's and it kinda pulls a little like if it wants to die (turn off):I know I need to change the spark plugs (already bought them):also it sounds like air is escaping from somewhere, could it be a vacuum hose? I'm taking it on Monday to change the oil and the filter. It has a good engine just little problems here and there. I took it to AutoZone and they told me that I needed a neutral sensor switch because I can only turn it on in neutral but they told me that the shaking is probably caused because of it needing a tube up... Can you please help me??

    Gonna check my vacuum lines this weekend, just out of curiosity.
    My 2005 Escape 3.0 V6, driven by wife, has been acting funny. At cruising speeds, 70 kmph or 56mph, it has a miss or hesitation. If you hit the gas hard or let of completely it goes away. It's just at a certain rpm or load I guess...
    Any ideas? Was thinking EGR, but that checked out ok. It did originally throw a Lean code, so I cleaned the MAF sensor and cleared code. No more check engine light, but still that weird hesitation.

      I have a 2005 Ford Escape 3.0L V6 and an having some issues too. I just watched a video on this. You can reset your pcm by taking off your positive cable and putting a wire with rubber in the middle so you don't get shocked and put one end on positive and one on the negative for 5 minutes and it will reset it. Ol Scotty Kilmer has a video on this check it out because there is a little more to it than just this. I hope this helps. My problem is that when I accelerate I lose all dash lights signals don't work. Windows don't work also causing it to over charge my battery. I am pretty sure I have a short somewhere. I have not watched a video yet on motor mounts which from these comments could be possible any ideas any help I will be grateful. In the mean time I'll be watching more videos to try and get it figured out. Oh why I said motor mounts is because this is a northern vehicle (alot of rust) and I have noticed I don't know what to call it but a shift tilt when I start the engine. When I accelerate I lose power and when I brake they come back on. As it seems while writing this I may have answered my own question. Motor mount. Like I said I'll have to watch a video on it to see if it shows the same issues I am experiencing. Have a Great Day All God Bless. :0)
