89 ford aerostar eddie baur edition Sign In

When van is driven,it stalls and starts up again. once in awhile it will completely stall, i start it again and it runs fine. I have replaced ignition coil, Ignition module, distribitor w/ pick up coil, fuel pump, fuel filter. the only thing i haven't replace is the EGR and I can't find that. I seriously need help on this.

Just a thought. I've had lots of troubles with the relays. Some stay broken some don't?? The two that can cause your trouble are the fuel pump relay and the engine control relay. They aren't that expensive even at a dealer.

If Ford is consistant with color coding the fuel will have green connector and the EEC will have brown if they not marked. They may be in a box under hood and marked. Good luck,

If your van has a 3Lt engine you can stop looking for an EGR valve it doesn’t have one.
With everything you have done, I’m not sure what to tell you other then by your description it sounds like fuel or the lack of.
If you can get your hands on a fuel pressure gauge, you could have it connected for your next trip out and see what the pressure is while the vans doing its thing. The pressure should stay between 30 and 45 psi.
Keep us informed of what you find.

Is there a way to test those two relays?

It's kind of like fixing Christmas lights!! It's easier to just throw them out and the cost is not out of control. If you buy aftermarket ones they fit other devices. I won't leave home without a spare in my glovebox over these silly things that without conscience render you a pedestrian! Tom,

PS: if the problem is intermittent no test will be conclusive. If you are stuck, try tapping on them with the plastic end of a screwdriver, you may get home or to your destination.

I replaced the fuel pump relay what does eec stand for? i also replaced the pcv. it stopped doing when i was driving it all day. it did however do it just once when i was pulling out of a gas station. I think that if this problem ever gets fixed, with all the money i have spent on it i might make it a new mini van ha!

EEC stands for "Electronic Engine Control" if I'm not mistaken. There are so many abreviations it gets silly! Did you know (and I checked) there is a listing of abreviations and even one for that word! Abr. is the abreviation for itself!!!! Crazy world we live in, Be well,Smile

LOL - I spent most of my time under a car. This computer stuff comes as I chiefly retired. For the longest time I thought MicroSoft was a guy problem that should be discussed with your PCP for the proper RX! (webmasters delete if I've crossed a line here)

On a serious note - if your are still having problems with the van shoot back and if need be I'll do my best to find the answers. Here to help,
