My 1994 Ford Escort has been running fine for the past few months, with one minor repair to the cam shaft rod. I was at a stop light once and the car began sputtering roughly. I took my foot off the brake and inched forward, and everything was fine. A few days later, I rolled up to a stop light and my car did the same thing, only this time it died. Electrical was still working and the lights remained on.
I shifted the engine back to park, tried starting the car, and it started right up again. I hit one stop light on my way home, and the car was fine. It also has problems with low acceleration, which I assumed could just be the age of the car.
Can anyone help?
I had the same problem a year ago. I problem was that the intake manifold gasket had a small hole and it was causing the computer to constantly change the air to fuel ratio. The constant changing cause the engine to die at stops.
I would start with the inline fuel filter,easy and cheap to replace.you probably have too much trash in the filter.
