Stall Issue on 1998 Ford Escort ZX2
I have a manual 1998 Ford Escort ZX2, and a couple months ago i had to replace the alternator (an oil
leak through the valve cover gasket). While replacing it I decided to replace the serpentine belt, fuel
and air filters, spark plugs, and obviously a new gasket. Since then, the car runs fine but when I'm in
neutral (or have the clutch in) and accelerate the car will stall. This only happen in first gear or if i'm
just revving the engine in neutral. Also if In like bumper to bumper traffic when i have to ride the
clutch, give it a little gas and then push the clutch in the rpms will drop really low and nearly stall, and
if i do this more then once it will stall (once again this is only in first or neutral though). I know very
little about engines and any insight would be appreciated, Thanks!
