My 1995 Taurus has a problem. The car runs great when cool. I can drive for a couple hours. But then the car will start chugging for about 30 seconds then just die. If I try to restart it right away, it will run for about 5 second very badly, then stall again. If I try to hit the gas, the car will just continue to run very badly without increasing engine RPM, and it will sound off with some muffled backfires, then die again.
If I let the car sit for about 20 minutes or longer, it will start up again and run fine for awhile. The longer I let it cool down, the longer it will run without a problem. But eventually it will do the same thing.
Almost seems like once it warms up, something malfunctions. Seems like it is starving for fuel when it does this, but not sure.
Anyone have any ideas?
