Can anybody help! My wife’s 93 Escort 1.6i with EFI has started to play up and I cannot afford to put the car in the garage.
On start up from cold it runs OK but when she drives it to the end of the road it stalls. The only way to start it is to hold the throttle down and turn it over for ages, I think the choke may be sticking on.
Secondly as she accelerates it misses (hunts) at around 2k revs. I have read the Haynes manual but yikes a bit beyond me. It talks about adjusting air mixture screws etc?
Thirdly the temp guage does not work. I have replaced the sender, is there a way of checking the guage before pulling the whole dash out etc.
Can any mechanic/ budding DIY’er please help/advise?
