Black smoke indicates excessive fuel
possibly the engine is flooding
this would also explain the gurgling.
Because its a ford. lol
You bought a ford escort... What do you expect
Perhaps it wasn't installed correctly, and the valves aren't opening and closing properly.
the brakes <--- note spelling
most likely you have a missfire.
brakes wore out maybe
Yes it will. They are both 3rd generation Escorts. To find out if an engine will fit your Escort compare the 5th digit of the VIN between your car and the car the engine is coming out of. If it is the same the engines are the same.
Bad battery, starter, cables or switch.
The temperature sensor is probably bad
Change spark plugs and wires... TUNE-UP...
A vacuum leak or a faulty IAC (Idle Air Control) valve.
Ok you idiot ,what you do is use an escort service or a call girl hope that solves your problem dummy!!
