My sister's '08 Escape left her and her family stranded on the side of the road the other day. It just quit on them. It will start normally but then not run for more than a second then immediately shut off. The computer has been reset and it made no difference. Her husband was driving and reported that right before it quit he had romped on the gas pretty good. It has the V6.
Is this a timing cam issue? Did his romping on the gas make the cam slip or something and get out of timing? Or could it be a computer issue?
