Ford Tempo Problem
Model Years Affected: 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994
Engine Affected: 2.3L 4 Cylinder
Verified
Sludge build up in the throttle body can cause a poor engine idle, stalling, and/or hesitation. The correction is to install a new idle air control valve spacer kit to prevent the sludge build up, set the base idle, and clean the throttle body.
