Sure sounds like you have a Vacuum leak somewhere on the intake manifold. Check the hose to the brake booster(and diaphragm too).Check ALL rubber hoses for cracks. Check the evap canister. All the symptoms point to a Vacuum leak, and your F.I. Escort will run fine on 87 octane pump gas. Since the rubber under the hood has been cooked for 19 years, you *might* want to just pick up a roll of rubber hose and restring the engine completely. It's not that expensive...and probably needs it. |
