Re: 1998 2.0L SPI Escort - won't start
I know the '98 is very different from my '97, but would offer the following fairly safe and easy thing(s) to do and check:
..The fuel rail is fairly easy to lift on this engine, two screws plus elect connectors ... fuel hose(s) do not have to be disconnected .. pull each injector and spray brake cleaner in the inlet end. at a sideways angle ... followed with compressed air (at an angle) if you have it. The idea is to lift any crud out of the inlet screen that may be there.
.. After reassembly and reinstallation of fuel rail ... attempt restart ... if engine fails to run: "listen" to injectors for "clicking" during cranking period. ??
