Original owner of 2001 Ford Escape XLT V6 with 121K miles having rough idle when starting cold and is light throughout the day. Problem is not consistent so mechanic will not look at until all the time. I suspect it is either exhaust, fuel, or ignition related. Anyone else out there have a similar problem?

I would check the IAC (Idle Air Control module), I had the problem that my escape would have a rough time starting and it got worse over time. Not said that this is the problem, but worth checking into. Hope it helps

I have the same problem, anyone asked a mechanic? I did and he said to bring it in for 200 dollars worth of testing.

My wife's 2001 Escape idles very rough when 1st started for the day, and gets a little better when warm, but still a rough idle.
I've changed all the spark plugs (that was fun) and air filter. STILL runs like crap at idle and when cold.

It runs like crap because a coil or 2 isn't firing, as for the cause of why I am currently working on how to troubleshoot this problem.

I have a 2001 Ford escape with 40,000 miles. You can get out of the passenger door but you cannot open it from the outside. My friend has the same problem. Mc Mullen Ford in Council Bluffs Ia. wants 400 dollars to fix it. Then it may happen again. I think Ford should have a recall on this problem.
