Re: 98 Escort ZX2 stumbling and hesitating....making noise
I've never run into that before. I would assume that there's excessive heat in the exhaust. Like maybe the exhaust leak is causing some afterfire and it's burning the rich mixture down through the manifold or perhaps in the catalyst. Like in Nascar when they crash and refire the engine, fire burns out the exhaust because of a puddle of fuel in the header.
I don't think that's the problem just a symptom of the problem exaggerated by the exhaust leak.
