Who can help me 97 ford escort lx piston 1 no spark?
Asked by Wiki User
I would check the ignition module located immediately to the right of your valve cover. A friend of mine has a Chevy Corsica that had the ignition control module or coil go bad and his car ran terrible. Ford stopped using distributors in Ford Escorts and their other 4 cylinder cars, because
the TFI module on the distributor were notorious for going bad.

How do you read the dipstick for the transmission on a 1993 Mazda mx6 with v6?
Asked by Wiki User
Where ever the liquid mark is at on the dipstick, determines how empty or full it is.
exp:_____>If mark is between "F" and "E" it's half way full.
Also Have a good close look at the dipstick.Some models have a temp marking on it for cold or hot refills.The top or highest temp reading after driving atleast 15 minutes is the most accurate way.
How do you bleed your cooling system ford escort 1993?
Asked by Wiki User
There should be a radiator drain plug on the bottom corner of the radiator. (varies on which side) You'll probably have to remove some of the plastic skid plates on the bottom to get at it. Or if you want, just remove the lower radiator hose from the radiator and let it drain that way.
To bleed a cooling system means to purge air out of it. Just take the radiator cap off and let it run for a short time. the excess air will come out.You may have to replace coolant .
What would cause the heater to heat poorly or lukewarm in a 1994 Ford Escort?
Asked by Wiki User
Bad thermostat would be the first thing to check. After that, heater core. I tried replacing the thermostat. No good. I moved to the heater core. Diconnected the hoses and ran a garden hose into it to "flush" it and a bunch of black stuff came out. Hooked it all back up and works great. Not sure where the black stuff came from but it was apparently keeping the coolant from flowing and heating properly in the core.
Is the ford escort ZX2 1999 an interference engine?
Asked by Wiki User
Disregard any information you may get from auto parts stores stating that the engine used in the ZX2 is an interference engine.
NOTE: the 1999 ZX2 had a running change in the design of the timing components in the middle of production. If your car was originally equipped with a valve cover which has provisions for a spark plug wire cover, then you will need the timing kit for a 1998-1999.5 (3-pulleys are used). If the valve cover does not have a provision for a spark plug cover, will have the letters "VCT" on it, then you will need the timing kit for a 1999.5-2003 (uses 2 pulleys)
Answer #1It depends on what motor you have. The ZX2 was available with a few motors. When mine broke I called... not exaggerating... 20 or 30 Ford dealerships and spoke with mechanics. About Half said with too much certainty "Oh you're fine! It's a non-interference for sure!" and the other half said "You're screwed! It is an interference motor. 99.9% chance that the valves were bent because you were driving it when it broke/slipped" Only about 2 mechanics of the 20+ took more than a couple minutes to check. One even called me back about an hour later after searching it up in books. This one said its okay, the other that spent time to find out said it's dead.Bottom line. Call Napa and they have a book they can look in and it takes like 2 seconds. Also many Timing belt companies have an application on the internet saying "Find out if your car is non interference or not" put in your cars info and GET MORE THAN ONE OPPINION!"
I'm still working on mine and I'll let you know how it goes. NAPA said dead, one belt companies book said OKAY, another said DEAD. We'll see.

2001 ford escort zx2 serpentine belt comes off while driving in rain?
Asked by Wiki User
Mine too. It's a 98. Not so much in just rain, but if I hit standing water I'm walking.
I was reading that it may be the tensioner, but inspecting today noticed that I have a slight leak and end play on the power steering pump. Thinking of replacing both at the same time. I have two of these. One my son drives with 206k and never an issue. But on my latest with 125k its an issue.
