Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY FORD ESCAPE FOR A FEW MONTHS. GENERALLY WHEN AT A STOP MY ENGINE WOULD REV REALLY HIGH. AFTER THIS WENT ON FOR AWHILE NOW WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE OR AT A STOP THE IDLING GOES SO LOW I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO STALL. I HAVE HAD A MECHANIC TEST IT AND PUT IT ON AN ANALYZER BUT THE ANALYZER DOESN'T SHOW A PROBLEM. I FINALLY HAD THE THROTTLE MOTOR REPLACED BUT IT IS STILL IDLING TOO LOW AT TIMES. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND SEEMS TO BE NO RHYME OR REASON WHEN IT WILL START DOING IT. I'M AT A LOSS ON HOW TO FIX IT BUT IT'S PRETTY UNSAFE TO BE DRIVING AT TIMES. *TR
