Same problem they all have, clean the injectors. I had Ford try to stick
me with a $800 bill to fix the same problem on a '86 TEMPO. I
fortunately didn't have the bucks or the desire to depart with them, and
said screw off I'll DIY. Corked fuel injectors. A little compressed air
does wonders. All of this is of course, generic.
