1996 Ford Aspire Repair Question


Topics covered: Sensor, Fuel tank, Spark.
Mileage: 26,000 miles.

Asked on December 17, 2011

Why does my car hesitate on acceleration.

The car runs fine until the fuel tank is between half and quarter tank.
Is there a dip hose that might have a break in it (inside the fuel tank)
that would cause this. Like a drinking straw with a hole in the middle.
