on a rare day the car runs good i have the zetec dohc 4cl. contour. sometimes the car when i first turn her on let her warm up the car stalls.finaly after a while of keeping the pedal down a bit she warms up and barely idles. ive checked and replaced spark plugs and wire set oil to royal purple cust air intake fuel filter ive cleaned the iac ive added gallons of injector cleaner and isoheet to remove water. ive hosed down the egr and surronding vacuum lines with electrical cleaners. im not the best at typing so ignore the bad grammar. also when im on the freeway and i have the ac on the car runs better than when i dont have the ac on. when i dont have the ac on and im going around 60 to 80 the car suddenly acts like the fuel gets cutoff i start droping speed and i have to put the metal to the petal to the other metal to keep going. i can not at the moment change the pcv valve i cant figure out how to take the cat off i have a haynes manual but there some bolts that i cannot see that i need to remove to take that off. ive asked alot of people for help some have been cool and most have not to say the least. any help would be apreciated i live in dallas tx and would pay someone near me to help me or buy them beers. one more thing when im stoped at a light with the ac on i hear a sqeaking noise i think my belt tensioner is going out could that be the culprit of the loss of power it recently starting squeaking and the hessition on freeway and street sometimes came after the sqeaking started. if your not going to help me then dont leave any hatefull or deregatory statements.
