SOURCE: 1993 ford escort wagon,no electric to injectors

The fuel delivery system uses an electric fuel pump to provide high-pressure fuel to the fuel injectors. The fuel pump is located at the rear of the vehicle, mounted in the fuel tank. It can be accessed by removing the rear seat.

The fuel tubes leading from the fuel tank to the engine are under pressure during vehicle operation. When the engine is turned OFF, the fuel in the fuel tubes remains pressurized for long periods of time to provide quick start-ups. Fuel not used by the fuel injectors during operation is routed back to the fuel tank through the fuel return tube.

The fuel handling components are protected by three fuel filters. A replaceable in-line fuel filter is located inside the engine compartment between the fuel tank and fuel injection supply manifold. A serviceable filter screen is located inside the fuel tank at the fuel pump inlet. A non-serviceable filter screen is incorporated into each fuel injector.


I can get you trouble shooting tips if you want them.

SOURCE: Hi, Ford Escort stalling

The behaviour you describe is called "hunting"; it's typical of an engine with an over-lean fuel:air mixture.

Check the inlet manifolds as there is an air leak somewhere; typically it's a loose joint, faulty gasket, or a cracked or corroded manifold, do not expect to be able to see any cracks with the naked eye as they are usually barely perceptible hairline fractures.

The brakes are servo assisted and use the lower pressure air in the inlet manifold of the engine when running, so when you use the brakes it puts an additional load on the inlet manifold and forces any intake leaks to allow even more air into the system. This will cause the fuel:air mixture to become far too weak to sustain combustion and the engine will stall.

You'll save yourself a lot of time and headaches if you get the car to a garage which will be able to quickly and accurately diagnose the fault for you. Then you can choose whether to have them make repairs or to do so yourself; if you choose the DIY option then the garage will reasonably expect a payment for the work done to diagnose the fault.

Testimonial: "Very helpful, l will do as you say and pop in to a garage to save on the guess work. "

Hi bought Ford Falcon EL 1998. it was on red and put 20$ petrol traveled around 17ks and it has cut out. It is turning but its like it has no kick?

There could be any number of faults. You'll need to get a mechanic to plug in an OBD code reader to the engine management system and then it will tell you where to start looking. At the end of the day, all an engine needs to run is spark, fuel and compression. This could be a bad fuel relay or pump, a bad sensor or ignition module, the timing chain/belt could've blown, even the engine management module etc. Get the fault codes and it'll eliminate the guesswork.

1999 ford escort 1300cc manual.. cloggs, jumps, backfires

All of these problems point to a fuel delivery problem.
The fact that a fuel treatment helped, leads me to believe its a dirty fuel system. Also, the cold start problem is an enrichment problem, as there has to be a richer mixture to fire when its cold than hot.
First thing to check is the fuel filter that may be located in the fuel tank.

How to do self tune up on 2003 ford exporer

Hi Sarn, You can replace the fuel and air filter and if the vehicle has a petrol engine, you can replace the spark plugs. You may even like to check the resistance of the HT leads if the vehicle has them and not direct individual coil ignition on each plug, and that's about it, because the rest of the system is mapped and amnaged by the electronic management system. Regards John

When the car is filled up (Ford Escort ZX2) the

If the check engine light is on, take the car to an autoparts store and have them scan the computer for stored fault codes, Most parts stores will do the scan for free. It could be a faulty fuel sending unit or a problem in the evap emissions system. Getting the codes should help narrow down the cause. A fault in the evap system should trigger a fault code. Hope this helped and best wishes.
