Hi there, This is my first ever post. I have a 1995 model of escudo, H20A engine that has been recently overhauled - new rings, seals, gaskets etc.There was also an engine oil/filter and tranny oil replacement, fuel filter checked and replaced, new spark plugs.
Initially, starting up the engine was ok. However, it loses power whenever it's loaded by a tiny bit, e.g. like putting it on drive = engine stalls.
Yesterday, when the mechanic tried to start it up again, it couldn't start on all 6 spark plugs. But when any of the plugs is removed, the car would start, no problem.
What could be the cause? My mechanic thinks it's timing issue but not so sure. Hence the query.
