Re: 94 escort 1.9 rough start poor idle, then death
Okay well I just got done working on the girl for the day and I would like to catch everyone up with what I have done..
@ last post, the car would run maybe for a little while, but then would stall out under load,, etc.. I thought it might be fuel, so I sprayed the starting fluid in.. and yadda yadda yaddda.. Hasn't really started since. Figuired I just flooded out the cylinders and it would come around..
Since then I looked at the timing belt and thought that it had jumped. I thought this because of the mark on the crankshaft pulley and the TDC stuff and etc. It looked like it had jumped. So I replaced the timing belt without any significant snags.
Went to start up the car after checking everything, and it will not start. It still sounds just like before,.. Not starting, it cranks, really sounds like it wants to fire up, at some point maybe you can even here a detonation or two, and then it just goes back to cranking..
I checked the fuel injection fuse, I think I checked the fuel pressure at the schraeder valve. ( Just pushed down on it and got fuel, but am not sure if I should be doing this while cranking ) However when I pulled the plugs they were all soaked with gas so I dont think this is my issue anyway...
Also before I moved on to the timing belt, I pulled one of the spark plug wires and grounded it against the engine while my dad started the car... and there was a spark.
So... Anyone have any bright ideas? I think I might go try and replace the coil pack, hoping that maybe its firing wrong? It should work fine..
.. Dont really know where else to look.. any thoughts about other ideas like CPS and etc. ? This car was running like a champ just two weeks ago I really dont want to throw it out.
Many Thanks
