Okay, it´ll probably be different from a GT, but I´ll try some of those things. It´s not like the a/c is turned on tho, because on a good escort day, i can turn that on without any power problems... as for the suggestions:
1. Clean/Replace air filter
Cone filter looks good, only got it a few months ago...
2. Examine cap, rotor, wires and plugs
New plugs, my car no have cap/rotor, wires though... would they cause that to happen every few days or so? doesn´t happen all the time..
3. < >> <---?
4. Check vacuum lines
I´ve checked everything I can see, hose clamps, vacuum lines, hoses..etc.
5. Get better gas
87 octane is bad? I am so poor though. Same thing, would this cause the problem all the time, or only on occasion.
6. Check fuel filter / lines
Will do.
7. Check mileage for oil change, and weight of oil contrasted to outside temp that night. (the 10Dub30 doesn´t like it when it gets a little too cold that night)
That night was pretty nice, oil change is due, but problem occurs whether oil has been changed recently, or left for a year, doesn´t seem to have an effect.
8. PCV valve (I dont know why...just is an easy check)
Replaced that and the little elbow tube recently.
9. Watch your temp (is the thermostat acting up, or the IACV ?)
Temp is okay, Slow coolant leak from rad (REALLY slow). Only overheats in the winter.
Could the O2 sensor cause this at all? I completely powerfoamed the motor, that made it stop ticking, but didn´t do anything for this problem. Car was good today though. Yesterday I was getting really pissed at it.
