Clean throttle body with combustion chamber cleaner.. you need probably a tune up like spark plugs,cap,rotor and take cylinder compression.
hope it helps

SOURCE: 1992 chevy corsica runs rough,stall or dies after stopping

Sounds the EGR valve and EVP sen is bad even if you tested it. The EGR valve cntrols idle and if carbon up will make the car stall or idle high and low (rpms going up and down) This was common on all cars during that time. I would say replace the EGR valve and senosr. This should take care of the problem. One more thing have the fuel pressure check on the car.

SOURCE: my 2002 chevy silverado struggles when idling

I had the same truck and it had lean codes.
The intake gaskets go bad causing too much air to enter the chambers. ITs the same gasket for the 4.8 and 5.3 litre motors.

upon tear down i found the fuel pressure regulator had fuel in it indicating the diaphram went bad.

Fixed and everythings all right.

BUT check your codes first I don't want to you to do a tear down with out knowing what the computer is doing first. Auto zone does free diagnostics and tell you what the codes are. Let me know I can guide you from there.

SOURCE: truck stalls when I give it gas

It sounds like they have got the distributor out of time. You will need to adjust the distributor. That is what it sounds like.

2001 ford escape bad idle

Most stalling problems are due to a dirty throttle body or a faulty idle air control valve. The computer uses the valve to regulate idle speed.

When i put it in drive and give it the gas an let off it goes dead

Possibilities include:

1) Bad MAF (Mass Air Flo) Sensor (causes erratic idling and stalling)
2) Bad TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) controls hot and cold idling speed

When i put my 2004 f150 fx4 truck into reverse and or drive there is a knocking and or shuttering sound, only while idling. When i start to give gas and move noise stops completely. everything else works...

Sounds like a bad U-Joint.

On this particular truck this is bad news.. unless someone has already replaced the factory ones once.. as the factory ones are pressed in you may need a special tool to get the old ones out.

A driveline shop may be able to do this for you.. and check with the Ford dealer for their repair procedure.. many folks have simply had to replace the entire drive shaft with new U joints.

They will be aware of the issue.. have them check service bulletins etc.

You can have someone check the location of the noise by keeping your foot on the brake.. placing the truck in gear.. and giveing it a little gas.. putting strain on the drive train.. shifting back and forth.. rolling a foot or so.. repeat.

The other things to check.. Motor mounts.. and transmission mounts..

Motor mount.. simply observe the engine with hood open.. and rev it up a little.

Best of luck!
