Engine keeps cutting off

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! Sounds like your Escape is playing hide-and-seek with the engine power. When an engine cuts off at low speeds but starts back up, it could be an issue with the idle air control valve, throttle body, or even a crankshaft position sensor acting up. These components help regulate the engine's idle and, if they're dirty or faulty, can cause stalling, especially when the engine is warm. Another possibility could be a vacuum leak—those little gremlins can cause all sorts of strange behavior. I’d recommend getting the engine codes scanned to pinpoint the exact issue before it becomes a bigger headache. It’s better to catch these things early before you’re stranded somewhere inconvenient!
