1996 ford escort lx engine runs to fast

If it idles high, with it in park, block off mouth of throttle body with something, it should kill the engine. If very little or no effect on idle, you have false air getting in there from somewhere.
Make sure throttle valve is closing, where applicable, take throttle cable loose, see if idle returns to normal. Check and clean idle air system. Any applicable trouble codes?

My car won't stay running when cold.I replaced the idle air control valve,and it didn't fix the problem.

The idle air control valve is designed to adjust for the load on the engine to maintain the idle quality. When it's cold out, it's more important that the engine temperature sensor is working correctly so that it can trim the fuel richer to compensate for the cold running conditions. Also, a dirty Mass Air Flow sensor could give you problems with your idle. A shop could easily diagnose the poor idle quality for a reasonable fee if you don't feel like throwing parts at it again. Have you experienced unusually poor fuel economy or better than normal fuel economy this winter?

I've a 1981 Vette that idles very rough with a cold engine start.

You need to have the choke adjusted so it runs on a fast idle so the engine can warm up or you may need the carb to be rebuild and adjusted properly.

I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with my car. The engine revs up and down and uses excessive fuel

Replacing your idle air control motor will more than likely fix your idle problem. If not, you may have a vacuum leak. As for poor fuel mileage, there are many things that affect that: tire pressure, driving habits, worn ignition parts, use of A/C, poor vehicle alignment, etc.
