Where is the fuel filter on 1999 ford escort lx?
Mine is located on the firewall about 6 inches below the top off the engine compartment , about centre of the engine compartment. In other words right behind the engine on the firewall, and its real ugly to get at from the top or from underneath.

Escort starts then cuts out then won't start again?
I HAVE A 1999 FORD ESCORT, THERMOSTAT WAS RECENTLY CHANGED & AN OIL CHANGE WAS DONE, NOW THE CAR STARTS THEN CUTS OUT & NOW WILL NOT START AGAIN, WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
check your mass air flow sensor on the air intake tube off your air box. sometimes ppl forget to plug it back in. without it the engine doesnt know how much air its getting an wont stay running.
How do change head light bulb on ford escort 1997?
First i would get a flashlight and take a good look at the back of the headlight assembly in the engine compartment. First there is a grey dust/water cap over the bulb and wire harnes this will come off with a slight twist to the left. In order to remove it all the way out of the way you must remove a wire harnes that is connected to the back of it after you get it unseated you can use a small set of needle nose pliars to pinch the little connector on one side then move 180 deg .pinch that side and it should push right off of the dust cap. Then the dust cap can be completely removed. After that look with your flashlight and the gently pull on the wire harness that is connected to the light bulb assembly a little wiggle and tension and that should come right off. Last but no least flashlight required again look at the bulb where the wire harness connected to it. Just to the outside of it there is a circular lock ring that is black about 2" round that needs to be turned to the left and removed once that is out of the way you can grab the light bulb assembly and gently rock it out of its seat. Remeber do not touch the bulb part of your new bulb or it will shortly burn out. To reassembly reverse directions. It should take you around 10-15 mins.
Is it a very regular single cylinder misfire? Are the new wires properly installed? Do you have spark voltage to the plugs? If no spark, check the ignition coilpack.
If spark is good, check for leaking intake manifold gasket. Spray a bit of carburetor cleaner along where the intake manifold mates up to the cylinder head. If spraying changes the sound of the running engine, you need to replace this gasket. When spraying, be careful not to set a fire, especially if the engine is hot.
Is your computer able to control it's idle speed? Sometimes a bad IAC will cause the idle speed to be very slow and give the appearance of misfire at idle.
Do you have a disconnected or dead fuel injector? Once you determine which cylinder is misfiring, monitor hydrocarbon emissions at the tailpipe. Unplug that fuel injector and note whether or not unplugging it causes a dramatic reduction (from absurdly high to reasonable) in HC emissions at the tailpipe. If no change, that injector wasn't working. Check for electrical pulse at the connector and if present, replace injector. If pulse not present, check for power on one wire (should be 12V+ with key on). If no 12V+, repair that wire. If no pulsing 12V-, check for lack of continuity to PCM or bad PCM.
All of this assumes a fairly regular misfire. If misfire is irregular/random check for vacuum leak or damaged MAF sensor.
What oil goes in a escort convertable roof motor?
Well it all depends on what you want to pay. Now my opinion is to go over to a Part store and they will get you a good deal and the right oil -Thanks
How do you replace the water pump on a 1993 Ford Escort?
An Escort water pump is located under the timing cover and is driven by the timing belt. Jack up the right front corner of the vehicle, remove the following: RF wheel, front motor mount, serpentine belt, belt tensioner crankshaft pulley, timing cover, and timing belt, to gain access to and replace the water pump. It is recommennded that you install a new timing belt when you replace the water pump.
Why wont your car start after replacing the fuel pump on a 1999 ford escort 2.0?
Check that the 'new' fuel pump is actually pumping.
Why won't a 2002 Ford Escort shift from park to drive?
Most likely it is the shifter interlock witch locks the shifter so children or even a n adult dose not mistakenly knock the shifter out of park. some cars that the interlock dose not release when in park or when key is in the run position will shift in the acc. mode where you can listen to the raido but not use things like power windows or wipers. I would try that then put it in neutral and try starting the car with the parking brake on. if it comes out of par then it is the interlock and you can use the steps I mentioned before to start the car till you get it to a mechanic. good luck hope this helped.
The best source for a wiring diagram is a good repair manual. Hayes and Chilton makes good ones and are sold at most auto parts stores.
Why would a 1989 Ford Escort make a clicking sound and not start up when attempting to jump it?
Check the starter solenoid Well, i'd start by making sure it's getting enough power from the jump. That being said, perhaps the starter is malfunctioning. 2 answer It is easy. Just check whether there is corrosion on terminals on your battery. Brush termials and clamps and you are done.
On a Ford Escort where is the idle position sensor located?
You have an idle air control valve and you also have a throttle position sensor. They are both located and the throttle body.

Stick your head in the hood, and have your buddy honk it. You should find it fairly quick.
Where is the valve to put freon in for a 2004 Ford Focus?
read up before you try it everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and a professional shop manual should be available at the library in the reference section for FREE...make copies of the right pages and fix your vehicle like a PRO! :) good luck Dave :)
What is the firing order for a 92 ford escort wagon?
The firing order for a 92 ford escort is 1 3 4 2. The number one cylinder is at the front if the engine.
Where is the alternator located on a 2001 Ford Escape 3.0L V6?
The alternator is located on the passenger side of engine very near the firewall and at the bottom of the engine. Another way to find it is to look at the larger serpentine belt. Follow it back to the rear of the engine compartment. The belt curves around the pulley of the alternator as it's travel approaches the firewall. You can't get the alternator out unless you remove the axle (half-shaft) and bracket.
After you take the mounting bracket off, THEN, and ONLY THEN, you are fairly easily able to remove the alternator. I was so mad I THREW IT 20-30 feet! Was TIRED of looking at it, holding it, and cussing it. It took around FIVE HOURS to get this blasted thing out...SEE YA! Then, you put your new (or rebuilt like mine was...paid 95 bucks online) alternator in. Go ahead and hook up the two electrical connectors at this point...it's easier then because everything is outta your way....then you push the alternator out of the way and bolt the mounting bracket back in place. Now you can bolt on the alternator. Don't tighten the two main bolts...wait. Just get them close because I did, and the top bolt (that you can only reach from the top of the engine in the "outside world" lol) wasn't aligned. Put that top bolt in and tighten it, then go back and tighten the other two bolts. Then you just put everything back together from there. But before you got to this point, you had to:
1. Take off the tire (good idea to loosen the 32mm axle nut when you loosen the lug nuts), and go ahead and take off the battery connectors too, so you don't forget. Once you're under the truck, go ahead and remove the large plastic guard that protects the underside of the engine on the passenger side. 4-5 bolts. Not hard. Get that thing outta the way asap.
2. There is a mounting bracket/housing where the half axle meets the intermediate axle. Remove those 2 bolts so that the housing hangs loose w the axle (photos attached if available).
3. Remove the 32mm axle nut ($8 socket from Advance Auto). It's not hard.
4. Remove the 2 big bolts that hold the entire brake assembly to the strut thing...lol (photo).
5. If you remove the brake assembly from that strut thing and play with it, turning it down and away from the axle, you eventually will be able to slide the axle forward (it has grooves in it and comes out fairly easily) and it will fall out under it's own weight. Keep holding it and slide the entire axle, half axle and intermediate together, from the transfer casing/transmission. It slides out pretty easily. Just be careful with all of the CV rubber boot housings. It's kinda like delivering a baby. Be careful with it. You don't wanna replace a CV boot too. This project is tough enough already!
6. Get some of the electrical wiring out of the way, like the one held to the alternator with a little black rubber piece. I used pliers.
7. Loosen the belt. Not hard. Uses a 1/2 size wrench. Just put your wrench into the tension pulley (closer to you when looking from underneath...it has a square in it that is 1/2 in size) and turn...the belt loosens, and remove. One of the easier parts of the project.
8. Then, you start on the alternator bolts and bracket bolts after that. Oh, and the alternator plastic splash guard...i just used a flat head screwdriver to pry the 2 little plastic tension pieces up and out...they go back in fine. Just take your time to not break them...and you can then move the splash guard thing out of the way to help create more space for the alternator to come out. And you will HAVE to buy a set of wrenches. I bought Fractional/Standard versus Metric. Wish I had bought both...8 bucks for a set of like 7 or so at Walmart. You will use the 1/2" wrench and 1/2" ratchet/socket a LOT!
someone out there that will go through the same ordeal I went through! My arms are tired. My neck is tired. I am COVERED in oil and grit that still remains after a shower...BUT, the battery light doesn't come on anymore and my headlights don't dim at night like they did when my alternator was going dead. What a PAIN!
Possible simpler method
There may be an easier way to remove/replace the alternator on an (01 V6 4x4) Escape -- remove the intake plenum. After completing the process of replacing catalytic converters, ignition coils, and spark plugs, I discovered the bearings on my alternator were going out. Since I had just finished putting the whole top-end of my engine back on, I was well versed in removal. The alternator does require unbolting from underneath the vehicle, but by re-removing the intake plenum, I was able to wiggle the old alternator out and new one in from above/between engine and firewall. I did have some assistance to hold a wiring loom back, but I would say it was way easier going out the top. One caveat to this method though....the new catalytic converter might be less intrusive into the space. But I don't think it made a difference. Total time, once disassembly was started, was about an hour, probably because I was already very familiar where all the bolts were. The hardest part was/is getting an exhaust valve, behind intake, by throttle body, loose and out of the way. Sorry you had to go through so much turmoil.
By the way, the mounting bracket STAYS on the engine. I ONLY removed alternator. 3 mounting bolts + removing wires.
How do you adjust the emergency brake cable on a 93 escort?
Look down in the console in the slot the e-brake lever comes you will see a 10mm nut just tighten it up to remove all the slack Caution do not over tighten this nut or you will break the cable just tighten it enough to remove the slack if it feels like it doesn't want to turn anymore than stop there. If you still have lots of slack than you have a frozen cable
