Try a fuel filter:
Fuel Filter REMOVAL & INSTALLATION The in-line fuel filter is located in the engine compartment between the fuel tank and the fuel rail.

  1. Properly relieve the fuel system pressure.
  2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  3. Position a suitable container below the fuel filter to collect any excess fuel that may leak from the filter and lines. CAUTION
    Observe all applicable safety precautions when working around fuel. Whenever servicing the fuel system, always work in a well ventilated area. Do not allow fuel spray or vapors to come in contact with a spark or open flame. Keep a dry chemical fire extinguisher near the work area. Always keep fuel in a container specifically designed for fuel storage; also, always properly seal fuel containers to avoid the possibility of fire or explosion.
  4. Remove the retaining clip from the fuel filter upper hose.
  5. Disconnect the upper hose from the fuel filter and drain any excess fuel into the container. Plug the hose.
  6. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
  7. Remove the retaining clip from the fuel filter lower hose.
  8. Disconnect the lower hose from the fuel filter and drain any excess fuel into the container. Plug the hose.
  9. Lower the vehicle.
  10. Unfasten the filter retaining clamp screw and remove the fuel filter. Fig. 1: The fuel filter is located in the engine compartment, between the fuel tank and fuel rail — 1.9L engine's underside shown my escort has no go - 90981p47.jpg

Check for a plugged fuel filter,after you check the fuel cap is on correctly. If that's not the problem,it could be the fuel pump. You can get the fuel pressure read at the rail by any reputable shop. don-ohio

Frozen gas line in car

FYI, gasoline will NOT freeze. Moisture/water will. If you live in Very cold area, you may want to get some "heet" at the Auto Parts store, and add to the gas. It comes in 2 varities. Buy the RED bottle.

Has power but wont start,has full tank of gas

Its not common but you may have water in your gas. You will need to check engine for both fuel and spark. If the car will start then die off a short squirt of ether then it would be a fuel problem. Then you'll need to find out if it to do with the fuel or the fuel system.

99 ford escort se gets no power and stutters.

When was the last time the timing belt was replaced on it? The cam timing may be retarded back from belt stretch creating this problem. Another thing to check out is if your catalytic converter may be partially plugged up.
