1998 ford escort fuel pump intermittent
Your description says you hear the pump running but not pumping fuel. I am wondering how you know it isn't pumping fuel?
Clearly it is possible for a pump to run and not pump fuel but that would not be the fault of the pump. That condition would most likely be caused by something in the fuel tank blocking the intake to the fuel pump.
Mostly if the fuel pump is good and heard to be running it can be assumed it is pumping fuel if fuel is there to be pumped. If there is doubt then a proper test should be carried out at the time when it doesn't start. It might be a good idea to check inside the fuel tank for dirt, water, foreign objects...
Weber carburettor problem on 1971 Ford Cortina
it has a choke plate used for cold starting
if it has 2 throats ( venturis ) then the second throat butterfly is most likely vacuum operated in which case the diaphragm for the operation will be faulty
I suggest that you take it to an accredited shop that overhauls carbies , and firstly have the manual choke fitted then have the unit overhauled

Motor Age TST Diagnosing Driveability with Global OBD II
Actually it's a 2000 Escort
as you slow down you have your foot on the brake and that means that the brake booster has a vacuum leak is causing the rough idling and stopping
before you spend a dollar have that checked out by starting the engine ( hand brake on) and if it idles ok , the apply the foot brake and it plays up , it is a brake booster vacuum leak problem
the fix in that case is a replacement brake booster
I have a 1997 Ford Escort Wagon and I don't have a
try this test
place in neutral with the park brake on
start the engine if it idles alright put your foot on the brake
if it falters or plays up ,it is a vacuum leak in the brake booster
replace the booster
Fuel system running rich
Sounds more like it's running lean. Have you checked fuel pressure at the rail? Could be the filter. Also try pulling the vacuum line off the regulator to see if the diaphragm is split and leaking fuel into the manifold.
Have a 1995 Ford Escort with 170000 miles on it.

What causes my 1998 ford escort to hesitate about moving forward hut then will pick up and go on?
You may have air bypassing the MAF sensor (mass airflow sensor). Pull the ribbed air intake hose to the engine and bend it around and check for cracks, they crack on the bottom, if none are found you most likely have an issue with the MAF sensor. You should also have the fault codes read with a OBD2 fault code reader or have the test done by a local auto parts store like Autozone, it is free.
