bad fuel, shorted mass air sensor, if the car is automatic might be low transmission oil
The fuel pressure on a 1998 Ford Escort should be between 40 and 60 psi at idle and not drop below 35psi under acceleration.
you may have trown a rod.
Change the plugs and wires. also check the throttle position sensor or have it tested
I know on my '94 it was the tie rods. They had come loose, causing the wheels have excessive play and vibrate. Be prepared for an expensive job if this is the case. Be aware that they will not balance tires or give a front end alignment if the tie rods are the culprit. They must be replaced first, otherwise the alignment will only hold until the first time you turn the wheel...which could be 5 seconds after you get in the car. Good luck. I love my Escort, otherwise I would not have sunk the money into it for the tie rods. They are great cars. Mine is my everyday driver. Usually shaking is caused by the wheel balancing. Take your car to a local Tyre and Exhaust garage and ask them to check the wheel balacing for you, in the UK this should cost no more than 30 pounds therefore expect to pay around $60. This should solve the shaking.
The Ford Escort RS Turbo is derived from rally-car inspired designs. It can generate output of 1,000 horsepower with tuning. It is designed to qualify as a group A rally car, and thus has excellent handling and acceleration capabilities
Probably same problem I am having. Seems to be either the fuel pump or fuel filter. I am changing the fuel filter first, because they are cheaper.
NO. An 86 Escort is a 1st generation Escort and a 93 Escort is a 2nd generation.
Does the noise happen all the time you push on the gas pedal or only at certain speeds?
not firing on all cylenders or timimg is wrong, maybe the timing belt jumped
I was having the same problem with my daughter's escort. I replaced the cam position sensor and the problem stopped. Advanced Auto Parts will check the computer to find out the problem for free.

Escort can be used as a verb and a noun. Verb: Will you escort me to the party? Noun: Will you be my escort?
Hey Shannon==The torque convertor solonoid is probably bad. Take it to the trans shop and have it checked out. GoodluckJoe+
