Re: 1996 FORD ESCORT by Phil Feinstein
Post New Message 2 things spring to mind immediately; A build up of Gunge in the throttle body can cause this and a fuel pump problem can cause this.

I say remove the throttle body and clean all the passages out with carb cleaner. Make sure the EGR isn't sticking open or blocked. If that doesn't fix the problem, pull the fuel pump out and remove the plastic resonance chamber between the fuel pump and the metal fuel line. replace it with fuel injection rated rubber fuel hose and 2 hose clamps and see if that fixes the problem. You should also check the fuel pressure regulator and see if it's leaking as well. If there's fuel in the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator, then it's no good and needs to be replaced.

Hope that helps!
