I have a 1996 GL tour with the MTX transmission and Zetec Inline 4. Ever since after I had my timing belt replaced my performance has be so to speak.. down, and the car tends to run a little rough, moreso when I have the heater on, and a lot moreso when I run the A/C. When going at a set speed I will feel the car try to lurch forward as if Its trying to gain speed, but then stop right after the lurch. Ive noticed that it doesnt do it nearly as much when I have the heater/AC off, its the worst when I have the AC running. Ive also noticed that the car doesnt do it as often if im doing 35 and in 3rd gear, as opposed to 35 and 4th gear... I figured it had something to do with the fuel system, that the engine wasnt getting enough fuel, my gas mileage has been way up (so it seems). I can also feel the car get much more power once it hits a certain RPM in every gear. As well as Starting from First gear, if im not really easy on my start off's the front end of the car will rumble arround. It will amost feel like my tires are trying to loose traction. Ive posted messages about this in the past, and the problem hasnt really gotten any worse, im just baffled on this, This post is a little more in depth then my last ones... Any suggestions at all?
