2002 ford escape about two weeks ago started having trouble starting would turn over but would not start you had to turn it over 3 or 4 times before it would start then no more trouble the rest of the day. A few days ago it wouldn't start at all, now it's sitting in my husbands garage looking pretty. We have replaced the fuel pump for 217.00 which did not help. I need help please!!!!

It means someone tried to steal it.

Try this. It seems that 'Sandra' has helped a lot of people!

A SOLUTION!!!!!! THIS WORKED FOR US TODAY! Try turning the key and moving the shift from park to drive and back. Then try starting it again! It should start. We were ready to call a tow truck before trying this. It worked. Saved time and money!

Thete are many possible reasons for misfire on #6. Please see my notes at the link below. What is the trouble code you are getting? There is no code for fuel line...
Do It Yourself Diagnosis and Repair

Too early I think to have the automatic collision shutdown system. These can be troublesome Had a car that wouldn't start after the lady slammed the boot shut.
Are you using the original ignition key supplied by Ford and not a cut copy ?

I have a 2001 ford escape 2.0L and i was having trouble of it turning over when the car was warm. If it was a cold start it would start right up. If i drove for a while then turned it off, it wouldnt start back up unless i let it sit for an hr or 2. But once started it would run fine

SOLUTION: I changed the fuel injectors $120 for parts. And now all the hot starting problems went away.

Hope this helps

You might have a dead cell in the battery. Take the battery out and have it tested. Most automotive parts stores have testers and will test for free.

biggest problem with bleeding breakes is after each wheel you have to check your fluid, start with back break either side have some one pump it 3 times hold to the floor , you break the seal let bleed off, you tighten the nut have them do it again and again the same way , until there is no air, making sure you check your fluid every couple times, then move on to the next one, and do the same thing

Sounds like the fan clutchis driving the fan all the time, and therefore at a higher speed than it used to.

Have you replaced the ignition switch? Passkey wire broken can cause no start problem.

did you check the starter

As the post said earlier they went to a ford shop.... I suggest to have your vehicle inspected elsewhere. maybe have your o rings replaced and your fuel system cleaned.
