Check the PCV Valve in the front half way down the 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.
Type your answer here... It could possibly be the ignition switch.

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).
A Ford 1999 Expedition engine is probably not seized if it will start and idle but will then not stay running. This could be due to a clogged fuel system, faulty injectors, faulty spark plugs or a wiring problem, or even a faulty distributor.
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.
