Topic starter

170000 miles 94 escort 1.9 4cyl 

after stopping at a light it accelerates ruff for about 5 seconds. I have changed spark plugs 

wiring and have started using 96 octane fuel to avoid the fuel with corn 🌽 in it 

automatic transmission is smooth no ruff shifts  thankx

Seems like a vacuum leak or fuel issue... if it has a map I would start around there and make sure it's getting proper vacuum pressure.

If the throttle body is gummed up it can cause it to idle poorly.

Google for Scotty's video "how to make your car run better with a little spray cleaner".

Just to be clear, it only runs ruff after a stop. It does not run ruff if you floor it or put it under load?

Only on take off and idles perfect
I find that if i put high octane fuel ⛽️ problem stops. 94 octane


Have you checked the compression?
