Car starts....Then stalls out

[jst2878]

Happened twice in the last two days which were over 80degrees. some people say the MAF, but I would like to hear from anyone that can chime in and so I can get this resoved. I have no lights on my cluster.

I can't remember what exactly it was called, but this just happened to my moms 4.6is. It was something to do with the throttle. I'll try to find the service receipt for the exact part.

maybe it was her throttle body. how many miles on her 4.6? any lights go on the cluster?
if it persists i will put the extra one in. thanks naz

My truck does the same thing if you start it and throw it in gear quickly. I am throwing no codes as well.

did it just at 80k miles. it showed no lights at first, but after a couple times said engine failsafe

Only in hot weather?

Vacuum lines are all good?

My 04 4.8is will do that too but not die. After it is started the idle will stall momentarily then trying to catch itself it'll rev back up for a second. My wife thought i was in it reving the motor at her when the car did it on it's own.

If it happens to be the MAF there has to be a place that sells just the sensor without the housing since ours are reusable. I pulled off two sets of numbers from the sensor in hopes to google something.
497570 PA 6 GF 30. not sure whats the actual number but ill try and search.

i just called bosch directly and will hear from them shortly as to whether or not I can just buy the sensor without the housing. if anyone has climbed this hill before your experience is appreciated.

You should read the code first. If it's MAF, try to clean it before getting a new one. You can get MAF cleaner from places like autozone. There are some DIYs online about cleaning MAF.
