1995 escort, 1.9L, standard transmission All of the sudden started hesitating real bad when pushing on the gas pedal. I replaced the spark plugs and wires and thought the problem was fixed because it stopped, but then after about 15 min of driving, it started again. I verified all the plugs and wires are secure. Now, when I first start the car after it has been sitting for a while, it will run fine for about a minute before it starts hesitating again to where my acceleration is cut considerably with the engine getting 1-2 second bursts of normal acceleration. What should I check for? Would an exhaust leak cause this?

1998 jeep cherokee wont start unless gas pedal is pressed to the floor will idle fine but revs high when i touch the gas pedalal
Had this problem too, and you need to check that your TPS sensor plug.harness is tight, the best way to do that is to actually unplug it, blow it out and then plug it back in. But the same problem happened again and it turned out to be the CPS plug had come loose, again check it and make sure it's seated well, and everyone will tell you to replace them, but if take a wooden dole, or stick and can tap yours gently down towards the transmission I've found that it works well after that.

Car stalls when push gas pedal
Spark plugs are a good start. Sounds more like a bad TPS sensor (throttle position sensor).

Dose not exclerat
Could be a couple of things, first place I would start is the spark plug and wires you could have a bad plug which could be causing the hesitation. Next, I would have the manifold checked out by either taking it to an auto parts store and if you ask nicely they may hook the code reader up to it and depending on the code it could be a real easy fix. Worst case scenario, its the Transmission. Go the cheapest route first and have the plugs and wires checked.

What can cause a Fast idle on 1999 Ford Escort?
Try cleaning the throttle body and check the gap on all the spark plugs also all electrical sensor plugs and battery terminals this could be related to engine temperature also if to hot rpms stay up longer to cool off but maybe your idle air control valve is bad when did it start?

mcdevito75 here, Sounds like you have real troubles with your car, the oil in the spark plugs could be the valve seals, a dirty spark plug will make the engine shake like crazy. Your other problem with the engine Rev up and down, could be a slipping transmission, have your car checked at your local shop.

Been running fine, started to cut out at the light, the gas pedal got real soft when it died, it turns over but won't fire
Spray some starting fluid in the intake with the throttle cable/pedal pushed down.
If it starts then your problem is with fuel delivery, check all fuel related fuses and relays. If good, change the fuel filter. Still no luck change the pump.
If no start then your problem is most likely spark related. Make sure you have spark at the plugs, then wires, then coil/distributor.
If you still don't have any luck take it to a shop.

I would listen for the fuel pump(take the gas cap off and listen for the buzz when someone turns the key on), if no buzz or whine then have them crank the engine.If still no noise then take a hammer and hit the middle of the gas tank while the car is being started(make sure E-brake is applied)If it starts it's your fuel pump.

Hesitation on acceleration engine runs fine otherwise
My 99 Audi A4 2.8 Quattro was havinga problem starting at times. It would idle poor upon start and then it would come up in rpm where it should be. I had hesitation from a start and after coasting for more than 5-8 seconds, the car would shake violently upon acceleration at about 1/3 throttle. I cleaned the Mass Air Flow Sensor. This helped but did not solve all my problems. I then replaced the Mass Air Flor Sensor. Little to no change there ($108.00). Lastly, I replaced the spark plugs. I bought Bosch plugs ($4.82 ea.). This got rid of all the symptoms. I had bad lugs and possibily a dirty MAF!
