Turn in the idle speed screw on the carburetor throttle-raise the idle some, it will open the throttle plate a bit when you turn the screw in. Idle speed should be about 800 rpm's, with truck in drive, foot on brake, and engine at normal operating temperature. If it still dies with the idle raised, it might need a tune-up-plugs, wires, dist. cap and rotor, and new filters. Good luck.
If your Escape is v-6 powered a common problem believe it or not is a solenoid in the transmission that allows the torque converter to "unlock" at idle. If the solenoid is bad then the torque converter stays locked and puts a load on the engine causing rough idle in gear at stop.
