Replying to: gillian1 (Dec 31, 2007 1:06 pm) I had the same problem when I had to replace my thermostat. If your engine is still overheating, Its the heater core. You might have to replace it.

Replying to: dgboyd (Mar 11, 2008 11:44 am) You've probably solved your problem by now, but for me, I had similar problems and it actually turned out to be a spark plug problem........a couple of them had developed small cracks in the ceramic heads. They were Champion plugs, and I don't think correct replacements. Once they were replaced with Ford plugs, the car ran as it should. Another common problem (especially if you have a lot of miles on the car) is the spark plug wires. Quick, cheap and easy replacement.   Hope you fixed your trouble..........   Scott

#73 of 108 Replacing an 02 Ford Escort Engine *URGENT* by utsa08 Aug 16, 2008 (10:01 am)
I need some help really quick!! I blew the engine in my 02 Escort (sedan) and I was wondering what other types of cars have the same engine, so that I can replace it! I know my engine is a 2.0L SPI2000 I4. I was going to have it rebuilt but I dont have that much time till school starts. Please email if you know! mhicks0308aol.com I have called mechanics and they all want to see the car (and charge me!!).
#74 of 108 1994 Escort wagon Wont start by lardog3 Aug 27, 2008 (8:52 am)
Ok everyone I am stumped. 1.9 litre Car would not start battery is new and tests perfect. I sprayed start fluid in and the car started. went to local shop they said fuel pump was weak, I had them change the fuel filter and the car started fine. a few days later it wouldnt start again so i bought a new pump and installed it the car still would not start without starting fluid sprayed into tube leading from air filter. checked the fuel pressure and got about 38 LBS at the fuel rail. checked fuel pressure regulator and it is fine. I built test leads for every sensor on the engine and they all fall into the specs from chilton manual. I had the EDIS module from the front fender checked and they said it was perfect. I found that I have no spark when the engine is cranking, If this is true how does it start with starting fluid? If there is no spark during cranking is the problem the EDIS module in the engine compartment or is it the ECM module in the tunnel by the stick shift? I am lost. I usually understand these issues but I cant figure this out. Is there a cranking mode in the EDIS module? The lack of spark thig makes no sense I also changed coil pack plug wires and plugs. Someone please give me an idea of where to go next. I also tried reding any codes with an analog meter as described in the books and there are no codes. Also when I do start the car with fluid it runs perfect. The car has 192K on it and I love this car but I am out of ideas of what to do next. Please help.
