I am having this issue with my car that it will stall when I come to a complete stop sometimes. I also noticed that if I put my car in neutral and give it gas it wont go over 4,000 RPM.... Is this a fuel injector problem? I am not trying to spend any more money on this car Thanks Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jun 21, 2012, 12:22 PM Post #2 of 5 (2585 views) Re: 2001 Ford Taurus Stalls at Redlights Sign In Quote I am not trying to spend any more money on this car Leaving it in the driveway would accomplish that. First eliminate all vacuum or air leaks in the system. You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. fcbayern New User Jun 21, 2012, 12:24 PM Post #3 of 5 (2581 views) Re: 2001 Ford Taurus Stalls at Redlights Sign In Thanks Hammer Time!

There is a rev limiter of sorts built into the computer that shuts the fuel off at a predetermined rpm under a no load condition.
