Re: Escort spark trouble
as far as I know it's original engine. He is not responding to me so I guess he's out for a while. I'll post what i find out when he gets back. i appreciate your help on this. In all my searching i haven't been able to find any pictures that look like his.

Re: Escort spark trouble
Yeah I'm with you. If I could just get my hands on this thing.... Not a tough job just a lotta stuff in the way. Put that wheelchair in high gear and head down to Eugene Or. That's where this escort is.

Re: Escort spark trouble
Ok! He got the timing belt on! Fired it up and it runs! BUT the thing is idling at about 3000-3500 rpm. and the brakes act like they are no longer power assist
I told him to run the engine a while to urn off any fuel left in the intake manifold from all the cranking while the engine wouldn't start. he ran it for a while but it won't idle down . I told him to look for a vacuum hose disconnected.. Meanwhile- I'm not sure what he might have done to the brake system. Is the brake system a vacuum set up? |

Re: Escort spark trouble
I would check brake booster hose. Sounds like knocked lose or broken. High idle normally vacuum leak.

Re: Escort spark trouble
Thanks- just after I posted the last question I remembered that the brake booster is indeed a vacuum system. DUH!!! So obviously the high idle AND the bad braking are from a disconnected vacuum hose. Sometimes it takes my old brain a while to get in gear. Wonder what the cure for that is??
