hi all i have a escort 1.6 cab 1996 when car is cold the car runs fine but when it gets up to temp it jumps and dose not idle well it laboures plesase help and no power like the car has cut out but engine stil running and then picks up again

When was it last serviced. Was the fuel filter changed. Could be a number of things including the coil pack, Leads, Plugs, partially clogged injectors.

Start with the normal service parts first if these haven't been changed for a while. Good luck

Just saw your other post which says you've done the plugs, leads and fuel filter. It could be the coil pack. I would also check all the vacuum hoses for leaks. Try spraying some WD40 around the intake area and vacuum pipes while it is running. If the engine note changes you have an air leak.

Trouble is there are so many things it could be.

, from your description sounds like a flat spot on acceleration, would agree with check for air leak, would also give a rough idle that wouldnt be too noticable when cold, as it would be running a richer mixture at that point

most common place is the breather pipe/s collapse
