Hi all, I have a problem with my 1996 Escort 1.6 16v I have got next to
nothing in acceleration in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears, the engine just
splutters when I give gas! yet if I accelerate very slowly its okay, I have
put various additives in the petrol to clean the injection system but they
don't help, has anybody got any idea's as to what the trouble is?
Eddie..
could be the mass air flow sensor, had a lot of problems with these on the
mondeo's, unplug it and the ECU should refer to dafault "get you home" mode
which will put all setting in a basic mode, if it runs ok with the unit
unplugged then replace.
might also be the coil pack, again another common fault, will short out when
under load, IE when in a higher gear or when climbing a hill etc.
both items available as aftermarket items from your local parts supplier.

i’m having the same problem with my escort. so far i’ve changed the
plugs, wires, and the coil pack. i’ve also unplugged the MAF sensor
to see if anything would change and it didn’t.an associated problem
with my hill climbing sputtering is that my car stalls out when i
brake hard to a stop.
