I have a1993 Ford Tempo...When I push the accelerator down The car stalls out. I have replace fuel filter, o2 sensor and arir filter. We have also adjusted timing belt when we did this it ran good for about 20 minutes shut the car down and then it started to stall out again after pushing down on the accelerator. Also it sometimes does not want to start and i have to spray starter fluid in the throttle body..Please I need help and more suggestions on what might be wrong with the car. I appreciate it.

you said you adjusted timing belt? tempos dont have a timing belt! did you mean you turned the distributor? timing is NOT adjustable on tempos, it's computer controlled.
