Ford Repair: 1996 1.9 Escort no power when hot, vacuum leaks, egr valve
QuestionIt runs great cold. Once it heats up it has no power.The catalytic converter glows red. I changed the cat and ran it with no muffler. Still no power when hot. I changed the front Oxy sensor and the EGR vac solenoid. I freed up the sticking EGR valve and it hold vacuume.
AnswerI would check for vacuum leaks where the intake manifold attaches to the head. With the engine running you can spray it with water and if water gets into a leak the engine will run rough. I would also look at the fuel pressure. Is the check engine light on?
