Clogged filter. Replace the fuel filter and pour in at least 5 gallons of fuel before attempting to start the car. Use starter fluid to start it if necessary.
CHECK IN THE TRUNK TO THE RIGHT. BEHIND THE CARPET LOOK FOR A RED BUTTON. ITS THE FUEL SHUT OFF. PUSH TO BUTTON DOWN AND YOU SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO
There could be several reasons why a 1997 Ford Escort will not start. A few reasons could be the starter, the battery, spark plugs and wires, or even a blown engine.
my 1998 ford fiesta lx zetec wont start againt fuel pump not working or is it the immobilizer how can i tell?..and can i bypass the immobilizer
we have a ford escort lx and it wont start without the gas throttle half way then it starts but is very rough but wont idle by itself
No they are different. The zx2 injectors wont fit an Escort head.
Either you have no fuel or no spark. Once you determine which you are missing, you will know where to look for the problem.
why wont the ac compressor shut off stays on on all settings
my 93 ford escort lx cranks but wont start an run what is wrong with it please tell me
Check that the 'new' fuel pump is actually pumping.
well my 1998 Ford escort zx2 has a fuse under the grey plastic housing on the inside. If this is blown it will make no sound.
A Ford Escort might not idle properly if the throttle position sensor is not functioning properly. This part is a plug in that is on the side of the carburetor (throttle body).
Most Likely Low With Freon.
The fuel filter probably needs to be replaced. It could be stalling because of a major vacuum leak. Check the PCV valve and all the hoses.
