'98 ford escort se 2.0L problem :(
Ok so my '98 ford escort se 2.0 is giving me hell! I change oil filter, air filter, spark plugs, cords, oil, I clean the sensors. . Well, every time I stop at a red light the car dies, it happen when I turn the car on too. When im driving its hard to get some sped and when I get till 40-45 the speed decreases like crazy and the car dies.. I really really need help because I use the car for work..

Re: '98 ford escort se 2.0L problem :(
What tools do you have available?
It would be really helpful if you could check the following: Cylinder Compression System voltage Fuel Pressure Stuff you can check for free (even if you have almost no tools ): Since it's a 98 it should have an OBDII computer system. Is your check engine light on? If it is, what trouble codes do you have? ( you can get it checked for free at autozone ). Pull your spark plugs and take a well focused close up picture of each one. What your spark plugs look like can tell you a LOT! Check your engine RPM sensor. It's mounted near the outside of the crankshaft pulley. Make sure that it's not dirty, doesn't have a bunch of metal shavings stuck to it, isn't soaked in oil, isn't loose and has a good connection. The bottom line is that there are MANY things that could cause this condition! We need more info. Maybe take a video of it happening and post it on Youtube/vimeo? The more we know, the more we can help. |

I would start with troubleshooting the fuel pump, this sounds similar to problems people were having with higher mileage 91-96 escorts.
