2003 BA ford auto (LPG only)
This thing is driving me nuts, everytime i put it in gear (reverse or
drive) the revs drop right down and the car just about stalls.
The revs drop down to about 150 for 1 or 2 seconds, then comes good
again.
If the a/c is on it will drop down to under 100.
If i try to keep the revs up with the accelerator pedal it stalls.

You could check the tire pressure

I had a 302 fi v8 F100 and a 351 fi v8 F150 (on petrol) as company
vehicles and they did similiar things to that.

Things had a mind of there own.

People would rave on to me about the Fords they owned and how good
they were and I always said drive my F150 for a week and you WILL be
cured.

Took them back to Ford many times for no result.

How would you like to be near full lock and half way across a major
intersection and bingo engine stalls - good fun with every one blowing
their horns.
