Engine Performance problem
1992 Ford Escort 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 150.00 miles
I use my car for delivery work. In cool weather, I will get a check engine light after a couple hours sometimes right away. In hot weather I get a check engine light then eventually the car dies out then will restart after 10 minutes, then goes for 1/2 hour then dies. I hooked up a fuel pressure gauge to watch pressure as I drove one day. got 28=40 lbs pressure. When the check engine light goes on I still have pressure but sometimes it seems as if the light triggers at 28 lbs pressure. Its getting cooler so the car didnt die out.
