Best Answer

You should check several things, starting with spark plugs and wires if it has them,fuel pressure/fuel filter,air filter,Tranny fluid level(automat.) clutch slipping(standard trans) brakes may not be released completely, and then on to more involved things like,worn camshaft,burned valves,timing issues,low compression,restricted exhaust. I worked on a Ford topaz once, and come to find out after MANY come-backs, It was the plastic bowl inside the gas tank heating up by the return fuel and causing it to distort the bottom of the bowl,it raising up, choking off the fuel pump's supply of gas.
