Problem overview

Some Ford F-150 owners report experiencing engine stalling after acceleration, even though the vehicle idles normally. This issue may be attributed to a faulty Idle Air Control (IAC) valve, which can disrupt the air supply to the engine, leading to stalling. Additionally, problems within the fuel system, such as a clogged fuel filter or malfunctioning fuel pump, may prevent adequate fuel flow, resulting in stalling after acceleration. Ignition system issues, including worn spark plugs and faulty ignition coils, can also contribute to this problem. Furthermore, vacuum leaks can create an imbalance in the air-fuel mixture, leading to rough idling and stalling. Lastly, electrical issues, such as low voltage to the ignition and fuel delivery system, may exacerbate the situation. It is crucial for owners to identify and address these potential causes to resolve the stalling issue effectively.
