could be one of three things either choke is not working needle and seat are worn and fuel is leking or accelerator pump is worn and not pumping fuel
BAD FUEL PUMP. Need to check fuel pressure with a gauge first. You did not say what year it was or engine size, this would help with the answer.
fuel pump is the first place i would look
Check the carburetor, fuel pump, spark plugs, distributor.
Make sure fuel is getting too the carburetor. The carburetor might not be getting fuel or it could possibly be getting too much fuel. Adjusts the carburetor.
I don't own a 95 ford escort. But if I did, and the motor turned over but would not start, I'd look at either the ignition module or fuel pump first.
if it has a carburetor it is normal
There is no fuel getting to the combustion chamber. Things to check: clogged fuel filter; crimped fuel line; carburetor settings; obstruction in fuel tank.
Probley is the fuel pump, Need to check fuel pressure with a gauge. It should have no less then 9 LBS. are it will not start. Pressure specs are 9 to 13 LBS
Choke not closing when cold, Accelerator pump in carburetor not working-- Float leval to low.
if you need priming fluid to start it then it means you need a carburetor adjustment because it isn't primed
The battery, cables and starter may be bad.

The fuel pump will prime the Throtle body when you turn the key on. Do not dump gas down the hole unless you like fire and replacing wires.
That's not a question. Try asking"Why won't my ford escort start?"
Coolant temp sensor (not the temp sending unit) may be faulty. The year, make, model and engine info would help.
A carburetor will not start when it does not yet enough fuel. A carburetor will not start if it gets too much. Fuel and not enough air.
...because its a 95 Escort.
