I have a 1994 Escort with the 1.9L motor. For 3 weeks it has been on and off broke and repaired. I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter,the main computer, ignition module (thing by the battery/fuse box under the hood in the engine bay), crank sensor, and fuel pump relay. I got it back from my mechanic yesterday and it was cranking fine, all day. This morning after sitting all night it only turns over. I cannot hear the fuel pump running when I turn on the key. I have tried to bypass the cut-off switch in the trunk (which was not tripped fwiw) and still have no fuel pressure. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. This is my only ride to work:banghead:

Check some fuses.

30 A Fuel injector fuse-engine compartment
10 A St Sign fuse-engine compartment

10 A Room-Passenger compartment
15 A Engine-Passenger compartment

If you just had it worked on it may be a good idea to take it back if you can get it running.

I checked all of those (except the St Sign fuse, where is it uner the hood??) and they were good. I took the engine fuse out to check it, and when i put it back in (i had the car on as well) i heard something click or turn on under the dash and afterwards it crunk up. I dont know what I did or you had me do but THANK YOU!

The 15 amp engine fuse controls the relay for the EEC (electronic engine control), the relay for the Ignition and the relay for the EGI (Electronic gasoline injection). Pulling the fuse and replacing it must have reset one of those relays. Well. We did something right.

*sigh* Well all was well yesterday, I kept going out and cranking the car off and on throughout the day (because previously it wouldnt start after sitting overnight) and it was fine. But i let it sit overnight last night, and this morning *of course* it wont crank. Same thing, turning over, but no fuel pump coming on. Anythig else anyone might think of? :shakehead :banghead:
