1996 Ford Escort... Engine sounds fine when idling... BUT...
Answer
Hummm, I can't tell exactly without more info like check engine light?? You make have stripped a tooth from the timing belt--maybe?
Well, the check engine light isnt on, but the service engine soon light is on...
Same thing get the codes read by a mechanic with a scanner. let me know
could be any number of sensors gone bad such as throttle sensor.. or idle control sensor... i recommend taking it to a autozone store near you hopefully you have one at your location they do a free computer test on car's that can diagnose where the problem is... and since that light is coming on that means your computer has registered the problem so when they check it they can tell you exactly what the problem is and this is a free service that autozone does for folks....
