My escort engine ( uk model )starts and runs ok for about 15 miles then it starts to hesitate and run badly if I try to accelerate. Also if I press the throttle hard the engine dies until revs have dropped to tick over then it picks up again. I have replaced the throttle position sensor and Lambda sensor. Any idea's please ?
