Hey guys first post. I have a 99 escort that will just shutoff while driving. I drive 40 mile one way to work which is all I use the car for mainly. At first it seemed if I would shut the ac off it would shutoff the car but it always starts right back up. Now it is more frequent and happens whenever. You may be driving on the highway no ac and it just shuts off. I do not get the dash lights that show it's off unless I put it in neutral. If I don't shift to neutral the car will slow down like the motor is running and you can feel the transmission downshifting as we slow. It always starts right back up. I cleaned the throttle body and maf sensor but no difference. The other day I didn't think I would make it to work it carried on so bad. Then the drive home it happened only twice. Maybe the ccrm??? Thanks for any help. And the car has no codes.

 

Simple stuff first. Let it run and do a wiggle test under the hood - wiggle wiring harnesses around to see if it acts up. Next check your fuel pressure - this acts like a fuel pump failing.
Good Luck
