I have had similar problems. I would try replacing the air charge temperature sensor. If you still have trouble, try heating the sensor by taping it to a radiator or heater hose. If this fixes the problem, heated air from the shroud around the exhaust manifold is not reaching the air cleaner, causing the sensor to read to cold of a temperature and making the engine run too rich. Hope this helps.

Your Ford tempo 1990 runs fine for about 5 miles then wont go anywhere it has fluid no sound why?

I dont understand what it is that you are asking. Is your engine still running after 5 miles? Does it run rough at that point? If it is running rough, I would check out the automatic thermostat for your choke. On a 1990 model it may be all rusted up. This will cause the engine to run real rough and consume a lot of fuel.
