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.
Check that the 'new' fuel pump is actually pumping.

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).
This is probably due to the fact that you are out of gasoline, cars can't start without it. :(
A 1997 Ford Escort typically requires around 4.5 quarts of oil for an oil change. It's always best to consult the owner's manual or check with a mechanic to ensure you have the correct amount of oil for your specific vehicle.
