i have a 91 ford tempo that idles fine but is now having some troubles starting. like i said it idles fine but then when i go
to drive it, it bogs when i push on the gas and in order to go you have to lightly press the peddle and accelerate slowly
i dont know whats wrong with it im guessing it is a problem with the fueling system but cant seem to figure out what.

When was the last time you changed the fuel filter? It's under the driver side. If not that, I suggest a fully qualified mechanic to go over it thoroughly.

mine is a 1990 just started doing same thing but it has sit for 5 yrs so maybe bad gas? if not then imma try fuel pump as i have already replaced fuel filter yesterday so idk
