DESCRIPTION
Some vehicles equipped with a 3.0L Duratec engine may exhibit an intermittent engine quit condition. This is usually a one time event during closed
throttle deceleration with no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and no Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). The engine will restart immediately. Because
of an intermittent nature, the condition may not be possible to duplicate.
When normal diagnostics cannot pinpoint the root cause, refer to the Driveability Checklist for details.
