Running Rough
My Formula started running very rough yesterday.
When I start it the idle speed is fine and it runs ok for about 5 minutes, after that the engine loses alot of power, I will press on the gas and the revs will not raise. If I put it to the floor and kick the revs up (above 3000 RPMs) it will run fine. It also idles very low and feels like it wants to stall out.
Anyone else have this problem?
What could cause this?
My Haynes guide sugguested checking the EGR Solonoid and my dad and I think it may be shot, the EGR valve works fine, we squeezed the diaphram and the engine died right out. All sparkplug wires are good, both at the OptiSpark and plugs.
Should I replace the Solonoid? its a $25 dollar part, so no big deal
Could it be the fuel injectors?
Please help
