#90 of 108 engine bucks by kingsa1 Jan 26, 2009 (2:06 pm)
my 93 escort 1.9L runs fine up to 50 mph but then as you start to go past that it starts to buck and you have to let off the gas and step on it hard to get it to downshift to get past 50-55 mph then it runs fine again any thoughts?
#91 of 108 98 Tracer stops running by tracethis Mar 09, 2009 (5:06 am)
My daughter's car died yesterday for the second time in two months both after driving 60-80 miles on the highway in the rain. Starts missing and dies after 1/4 mile. First time started up and ran perfect the next day (dry weather). After first time added dielectric grease to coil pack, ECU? connector and plug wires (new plugs and wires already). Ran great for short distances and two rainy days around town. On way back to school in the rain died. Going tomorrow to try and diagnose seems electrical? maybe fuel?? Don't have a service manual. Any ideas Replies to this message: xwesx (May 08, 2009 8:48 am)
#92 of 108 Re: Weird Gargling Noise From Zx2 engine [curlysue1] by wee_keville Mar 14, 2009 (7:57 am)
Replying to: curlysue1 (Nov 28, 2008 11:11 pm) Mine did that to it has 221,799 miles on it. It started doing that then a nocking noise,then it started losing oil pressure and it blew.What the problem is the rod and the bareings are so worn out that they don't hold together. So now im replacing the motor with one that has 50,000 miles on it hope that helps out some!
#93 of 108 1998 Escort ZX2 Hot - timing belt by mcwllw Apr 06, 2009 (7:56 am)
I had the tensioner break on the serpentine belt and the timing belt broke at the same time (is that possible? ). I had it towed to the Ford dealership, all they came up with was the tensioner and serpentine, at an astronomical price to replace. So I took it to another mechanic (ASE certified) and he told me the dealership mis-diagnosed the car. He said the timing belt was broken and there is a 50/50 chance it damaged the valve(s). My understanding is the engine is non-interference and would not have damaged the valve(s). Anyone know for sure if the engine is non-interference?
#94 of 108 2000 escort with a knock on decelleration by sillyman63 Apr 23, 2009 (6:58 pm)
I am working on a 2000 escort with a 2.0 L engine. It was brought to me with a knock in the engine that appears when the A/C compressor kicks in and also under a quick decceleration. I have replaced the A/C compressor and the catalyst, thinking the knock was coming from one of those components, but it still knocks. I also have checked the engine bearings for wear and the pistons for cracks or breaks, but all are fine. I inspected the rocker arms and valve lifters for wear and found nothing to be wrong with them. The noise seems to be coming from between #2 and # 3 cylinders. Any input on what could be wrong would be greatly appreciated.
#95 of 108 Dying on the freeway by tracethis Apr 27, 2009 (4:29 pm)
I wanted to let anyone know who has this problem that the problem was the fuel filter. Not alot of fun to change but doable compared to soem of the other thoughts I had. Replies to this message: xwesx (May 08, 2009 8:52 am)

Replying to: tracethis (Mar 09, 2009 5:06 am) It may be due to moisture getting on the mass airflow sensor. The sensor tends to get more sensitive to moisture if it is somewhat dirty. The problem manifests itself (early on, anyway) more readily on the highway due to higher speeds and more road spray. The good news is that if this is the problem, a quick cleaning with a fuel system cleaner should resolve the issue entirely. Or, you can replace it, but that is far more expensive.   The sensor is located inside the air intake pipe, just inside of the air filter (between the air filter housing and the intake manifold).

Replying to: tracethis (Apr 27, 2009 4:29 pm) Hah! I should have read the rest of the messages before I responded!   Odd that the fuel filter would act up only in the rain...
