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.

Either you have no fuel or no spark. Once you determine which you are missing, you will know where to look for the problem.

No they are different. The zx2 injectors wont fit an Escort head.
some of the wiring may not have been hooked up right
