#57 of 114 check engine coolant light turns on/off by mstaevski Dec 14, 2007 (12:08 pm)
Hi guys, I have recently changed the thermostat of my 97 Escort and since then the check engine coolant light randomly turns on and off every few hundred miles. The T-gauge never shows higher temperature than normal and is working properly, neither the engine overheats. The light can stay for a minute or two and then it goes off. Or it just flashes and does not remain on all the time. Did anyone have ever had problem like this? I guess it is just a matter of loose contact or shortcut that activates the sensors.

Replying to: chrisg88 (Dec 05, 2007 12:58 am) Not all Escorts are loud. I have a 96 LX hatchback. Purrs like a fat cat. I love this car. It's the most beautiful shade of purple. 219,000 miles and no major problems. A little TLC goes a long way.

#63 of 114 P1443 CEL message/troubleshooting exhaust problem by mstaevski Jan 22, 2008 (12:48 pm)
Hi guys,   I have on my 97 Escort a check engine light message that reads P1443. The book says it is Evaporative emission control system - vacuum system, purge control solenoid or vapor management valve malfunction. I had this exact error 3 years ago (at 61K miles) and had to replace the purge and flow solenoid kit. Now I have 131K miles and I assume it is the same malfunction. Could it be something else and how can I troubleshoot? What would happen if I don't replace the solenoid? Would the fuel tank pressure decrease the gas mileage? I recently reset the computer and would wait to see if the light appears again. Might be from the tank cap too... Any ideas?
#64 of 114 Manual Transmission by charned Jan 24, 2008 (10:51 am)
I have a 96 Ford Escort 1.9 liter. The transmission is a 4 speed manual. I need to know where the fill hole is located. I thought it would be on the side some where but, I am unable to locate it. Anybody know it's location on the trany? It is a front wheel drive.
