first of all a big hello to all, this is my first post so forgive me if im in the wrong place etc, if so then please tell me lol. this is my problem. i have a 1990 1.3 ford escort eclipse and today gave it a good look over and a valet as i had an mot booked for 2pm. i got about 200 yards from my house when the car sort of died on me, if i let my foot of the accelerator then it would die, i had to rev it high to move very slowly. its hard to explain but its like there is a flat spot in the carb. id have to rev it several times to get it over 2000 revs. i after a while i just about managed to crawl home. my original thought was a blocked fuel filter maybe, as it will start up but is really struggling to rev, if that makes sense. i dont know a great deal about fords, but looking online has baffled me a bit with the different engine types. i have the car booked back in for an mot tomorrow so am gonna try and fix the problem in the morning. if anyone has any idea as to what the problem may be or where the filter is then id be really grateful. been pulling my hair out all day. any suggestions are welcome. many thanks.
