Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Car Troubleshooting MrPlaid New User Jun 25, 2005, 6:24 PM Post #1 of 4 (3278 views) 1988 Ford Tempo. Sign In Need some help here with a 1988 ford tempo. Until a few months ago was fine. Now everytime it gets hot outside, or I run the engine for an extended period( about 45 minutes) the car loses almost all power and sputters then dies. That is only in the lower gears though. If I can manage to get it to about 60 MPH it does not die. Anyone have any help for me. my email is scottiemow@hotmail.com and I am signed onto MSN right now if you need to know anything else. I really want to know what is wrong because I have spent about 400 dollars trying to fix it and nothing has worked. motorheadII User Jun 26, 2005, 5:31 AM Post #2 of 4 (3264 views) Re: 1988 Ford Tempo. Sign In During the sputtering and dying, will the engine run ok if you slip it into neutral? MrPlaid New User Jun 26, 2005, 4:45 PM Post #3 of 4 (3258 views) Re: 1988 Ford Tempo.

If it runs ok in park or neutral but stalls in drive, chances are that's it.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
