95 tercel dx hesitation on acceleration
hello everyone,
hopefully somebody on this forum will have some expert advice.
i have been having a few issues with my 95 tercel dx. she constantly bucks or hesitates when accelerating. gutless, no power, i can't afford to push her in tight situations for fear that she won't respond accordingly. usually no problems in the first 10 minutes and when the engine is cold. cold weather runs much better, hot weather runs terrible.
recently replaced the sparks, egr and associated emmision parts plus the fuel filter. the car ran like new for an evening, then next day back to the same problem. i don't think its the timing because she ran well initially after the work was done on the car. i have also recently noticed that the engine fan is constantly running and the engine seems to be incredibly hot for driving just up the street. all fluids have been flushed and kept at the proper levels. i initially suspected the t-stat, but the temp gage in the car is working and never indicates overheating.
from the research i have done, it may be time for a new o2 sensor from my understanding on how they work. i have noticed that my fuel economy is not what it used to be either.
does anyone know whether these issues are all related and what the problem(s) may be?
i am also curious to know whether my car is obd2 or not? i assume no from never receiving check engine light with the previous emmission issues.
any help will be greatly appreciated.
