Sure the light turned off but that doesn't mean there are no continuous
memory codes stored in the car's computer. Scan for codes, don't
assume there aren't any. |

I have the same car which had the same issue. In my case, cleaning the
MAF and reseating all the vacuum line connections I could reach fixed
it. Do you also find that if you're idling while in drive, the car
vibrates very markedly? Do you also find that, again, idling in drive,
the engine will stumble briefly when you turn on headlights or A/C? >> Stay informed about: 98 Ford Escort |
