1999 Lincoln Continental 4.6L No Start, Stall VIN: 1LNHM97V8X
Most replies targeted the idle air control. Few mentioned the codes at all which is what threw me off. The codes and the symptoms seemed to be related. Anyway, the idle air control was indeed not functioning properly during a duplicate of the stalling symptom.... Trouble codes: U1051 (SCP Invalid or Missing Data for Brakes), U1043 (SCP Invalid or Missing Data for Traction Control), B1201 (Fuel Sender Dircuit Failure).
