I have a 95 escort with about 120 K that I bought about a month ago. It's a 1.9L, fuel injected, manual trans. It was running great until a couple of days ago when it started stalling if it idles for more than 30 seconds or so (which it does frequently because I deliver newspapers with it) It idles at about 500 rpm (this seemed low to me
- that's what it was doing when I bought it - is it ok?) It idles fine for 20 seconds or so, then the idle speed will quickly drop to near 0 then back up to 500 several times before it finally stalls. At first I was very confused about why this was happening only at 3 am while I was delivering papers, but this morning I discovered that it only stalls when the AC is off. If I leave on the AC, it idles just fine - still at 500 rpm, but it holds steady and doesn't drop. Thanks for any help.
