I was reading your tempo forum and came across the following question that had already been asked,
"1994 Ford Tempo mileage: 68,000. When you apply pressure to the accelerator there is a hesitation, then jerks and then accelerates. I have replaced the spark plugs, plug wires, distributor cap, rotor button and fuel filter. Any ideas?
Answer: If the oxygen sensor has not been recently replaced, a new one should be installed. Also, perform a fuel pump pressure test. Clean fuel injection system including throttle bore, idle speed control motor and passages. If the problem still exists, scan the computer for trouble codes."
My tempo has the same problem except it is starting to sputter around 35 mph and is burning up plugs and the distributer cap and rotor. I have replaced them twice (including the spark plug wires) and it worked for a year and now I'm back in the same boat.
