Engine - Loading/Stalling

Article No. 85-9-20


LOADING/STALLING - ACT HARNESS - INTERMITTENT OPEN CIRCUIT - 2.3L HSC CFI

FORD 1985 TEMPO

LINCOLN-MERCURY 1985 TOPAZ

If portions of the ACT Harness are stretched taut, the result could be an intermittent "open" condition during normal engine operation. When an intermittent condition occurs in the ACT circuit, the injectors can over-fuel and cause a loading or stalling concern. To correct this condition, reposition the ACT Harness to eliminate any taut condition during normal engine movement on acceleration or deceleration.
