93 escort engine revs while trying to accelerate

First time poster :)

93 escort 1.9L MT hatchback will be slow to accelerate from the stop position. If to much pressure is applied to the accelerator the engine will just rev up as if I am in neutral. This condition happens in all 5 gears. thank you for your help.

sounds like clutch is slipping how old is it?maybe time for replacement.if you apply E brake & try to start off(move)does it stall or stay running for a little bit?

Any chance this is a manual transmission? Sounds like a slipping clutch.
If an automatic, check your fluid level... have it flushed and refilled if it has been a long time.
