Hi Ford owners
For those who have read my other post, will know my car's distributor has been replaced with a refurbished one - bad mistake using a refurbished model. But now my TX5 struggles to rev up when it's cold. Especially now that it's winter here in Cape Town. Keep in mind I turn on the rear defogger, activate the front demister and also drive with the main headlights on. In other words, a lot of energy/power is needed when the car is still cold. Problem is, I had two or three mornings where I could feel the car to struggle revving up as I change gears and accelerate. It feels like the engine wants to die, is the best I can describe it. After about 10 minutes, after the car is warm again, it drives fine again. Any idea's what may be causing the struggle to rev up when the car is cold & I have many electrical things on? Oh, it's a '93 manual, with about 192000km's on the clock. Thanks TX5 fans WineAnt |
