I need to check it since my temperature guage dos'nt work.1998 Escort Ignition System Chugging"Have changed the fuel filter to no avail. New spark plugs and new ignition wires to no avail. This car is a stickshift 5-speed. An intentionally exagerated description of the performance: It's similar to when a stickshift car goes too slow in too high a gear and finally bucks.--Except this feeling occurs randomly at street speeds. I do exagerate, but for short instants the forward motion of the car feels like it's provided by rhythmic bumping from behind; the feeling smooths out only by getting the RPM's well up. My guess has to be that it's missing. But there's no audible sound to assure me it's missing.1987 Escort Ignition System Stallingi have a problem where i can start the car cold works fine then when it warms u it starts idling rough and then itl act like its runing out of gas tac start jumping down then back up then eventualy the car dies and wont start for a few mins i was told it was part of the ignition but i think it could be fuel too1995 Escort General HesitatingHi, I have a '95 Escort station wagon (my son's car) with a 1.9L engine, manual tranny. About six months ago, out of the blue, the power just dropped off. It has gotten much worse since then, When driving it and you floor it (or at least accelerate), it feels like someone put their hand over the carb (old time term), or over the air cleaner inlet, or plugged off the exhaust pipe, just runs like a dog (no power). Going up even a small hill in town requires low gear. But it would probably do 100 on the interstate, if you had a long, flat road (maybe a slight downhill slope, ha). No missing, really, just no power. Tried a bottle of injector cleaner that didn't help at all. Well, finally I've started trying to diagnose the problem. No 'service engine' light ever came on. I have had this car to two GOOD mechanics in town, and now finally it has been at the Ford dealer's garage for over a week and they are tearing their hair out. Between all three, I'm sure they have checked everything at least twice. We have put in new plugs, wires (twice, sad to say), fuel pump, swapped ignition modules from a known good car. Checked exhaust back pressure, mass air flow sensor, compression, cyl. balance, etc, etc, etc. I'm running out of troubleshooting money.Allow me to take up a little more space, if I could. There is a lot that I'm not sure of, as the mechanics themselves would say they checked everything (but give no detailed list), but here's to the best of my recollection. The car starts and idles fine, but while driving it sometimes runs poorly. (This is addition to the extreme lack of power). Also, the gas mileage is about half of what it was previously, down from about 35 mpg to about 20 mpg. Mechanic #1 At that time, it had a miss also, so he put in new plugs and plug wires. That cured the miss, but he didn't have time for further analysis, except that he said it could be: A) exhaust pluggage B) dirty injector. (wanted to run a complete injector flush deal, whatever that was) C) said that he cleaned and (recharged or something) the MAF sensor D) nothing showed up on his big computer, but he did say that the plugs were badly burnt, like it had been running lean for some time. Mechanic #2 had it for a few days and checked a bunch of stuff, then checked the fuel pump pressure and said it was bad. We brought the car home and put in a new fuel pump from Napa. Still ran the same. Just had a new fuel filter recently, so didn't change it again. We took it back to him (he rechecked the pressure and said it was still low pressure), he found out that there was a bad Schrader valve in that test connection, replaced it, and pressure was ok, so probably the old fuel pump was ok, too. Left it there and he checked the following: A) put it on his smaller computer (scan tool?) and said the ignition all looked fine. B) said the exhaust pressure seemed fine at about 1# backpressure when they revved it up. C) not sure if he checked the MAF sensor D) checked the timing belt and timing E) said he checked everything else, but don't have a complete list. F) said a dirty injector will usually cause a miss, so didn't go further G) said it could possibly be a bad ignition module, but didn't want to just replace it, as for the expense and it did check out ok on his machine. Mechanics #3 (Ford Dealer) Also, kind of hard to say L of what they checked, as they sure don't say much, but I do know that they checked the following: They did put on new plug wires (again) and: A) fuel pressure check = ok B) ran injector test = ok C) spark duration relative compression test = all ok D) exhaust back pressure = ok E) regapped plugs = ok F) install new spark plug wires = ok G) test coil pack = ok H) test ignition module = ok Costs so far: Mechanic #1 $0 Mechanic #2 $ 0 Ford dealer $ 384 Fuel pump $ 85 - we installed Grand Total $ 469 (so far) Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, still runs as bad or worse than before. Escort Update 01-16-04 I also have a 95 Escort of my own that my son was using while the mechanics were working on his. I got his Escort back from mechanic #1, who really didnt have a lot of time to work on it for very long. My son came home this weekend and we started swapping and checking parts. We checked the following: 1. Timing belt WAS checked out previously by mechanic #2. 2. Had the catalytic converter and exhaust checked at Midas for back pressure, etc., and they said all is fine. 3. Hook up vacuum gauge. 15-16 vacuum at idle (same as my good-running Escort). We are at nearly 5000 feet above sea level. Unhooked L vacuum line from central manifold (vacuum distributor) and plug lines. Vacuum stayed about the same and engine ran the same or worse (normal, Id say, for having some items not connected) 4. Checked EGR with vacuum pump tester -seems to work fine. Kills motor right away when vacuum is applied, returns to normal when vacuum removed. 5. Swap out PCM (power train control module) no change 6. Ran with MAP sensor disconnected no change (mechanic #1 had checked it previously and said it was ok). 7. Pulled connection from ECT (engine coolant temperature) sensor and test drive. IMMEDIATELY HAD FULL POWER RESTORED, but only for about a minute or two of driving and then resorted to its old self. Hooked it back up and poor performance continued. Unhooked again and same FULL POWER for a few minutes. 8. Swap out ECT sensor no change 9. Ran with O2 sensor disconnected no change 10. Swap out O2 sensor no change Nearly back to square one, except that we can maybe rule out a few things. By pulling the ECT connection, we feel that we gave it a rich mixture and caused the excellent running for a minute or two, but what is causing the lean mixture is still a mystery to me. Update 1-23-04 Retested EGR valve seems to work fine Tested the compression, here are the results (psi): 1) 177 2) 180 3) 177 4) 187 EGR Vacuum Regulator (EVR) solenoid tested out fine We had already swapped the Differential Pressure Feedback Electronic (DPFE) from a known good one Swapped the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) and ignition module from a known good car We already swapped the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor from a known good car and the good car still runs fine and the trouble car still does not run fine. Also swapped ignition modules with my good Escort. Boy, if you DO read through all of this, you really do want to help.

Yesterday I started the car put it into reverse, "NOTHING", put it into drive "NOTHING". I checked the fluid, it was rather dark, and very low so I put a quart of Mercon in...HEY IT GOES! Worked perfectly, ran through all the gears, shifting as it should. Then I pulled away from a stop sign accelerating, and all of a sudden "NOTHING", the engine raced and no power to the wheels in any gear. It was like the drive shaft fell off. I put another quart of Mercon in and still "NOTHING". I towed it home, put it up on jack stands, went underneath the car and saw no recent leaks (from putting in 2 qts of fluid), no leaks from front axle seals, but a lot of leakage over time from the area where the transmission bolts to the engine. COULD THIS BE ONLY THE TORQUE CONVERTER??? If it is the torque converter, once I remove the transmission how do I remove the torque converter and put a new one on. Do I have to prefill the new torque converter? COULD IT BE THE TRANSMISSION ITSELF AND NOT THE TORQUE CONVERTER? WHAT COULD IT BE AND WHAT SHOULD I REPLACE?1998 Escort Fuel System MalfunctionThis problem only happens after the tank has been filled up: engine tends to die in idle state; when pushing the accelerator, engine often shows no response - or a delayed response; when turning into sharp right corner, the engine dies.

Absolutely no noise when engine is cold.

Compression tests from cylinders are:____#1 __#2 ___#3___#4 COLD 160 170 170 180 HOT 175 180 170 190 Engine often misses, sputters and jerks when engine has idled for a while and then driven. Once driving down the road, and the engine starts to cool down, it no longer sputters and misses, but still makes ticking noise. Rate of ticking seems to be related to the RPM of the engine. After a lot of testing, inspection, and replacing parts, the engine STOPPED making the ticking noise for approximately 100 miles. Hot or cold, it didn't tick. Thinking it may have gone away, and it was possibly carbon build up, I Added some Chevron Techron Fuel system cleaner at 1/2 tank and filled the tank with 91 octane at a local gas station.

It did this before I bought the car. The car ran fine so I left it alone. 2 days ago, when I left for work I noticed It was pinging. As soon as you give it gas it pings, even at idle when you blip the throttle. At about 3000 rpm up it has no power.The idle is a little rough too. It also ran very hot on the highway.
