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.
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.
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.
Start by having the fuel filter changed.
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).
Check your fuses could be an electronic issue.
it could me bad fuel ..or fuel pump
Need to replace the ignition switch.
