i have a 94 ford escort wagon 1.9 L engine and the car wont accelerate.
Asked by csmitty0919 Jul 07, 2015 at 08:02 PM about the 1994 Ford Escort 4 Dr LX Wagon
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I had a used engine put in because of a blown head gasket. Then it didn't want to start
every time so I put a new battery in and a new fuel pump. Now when I turn it on the check
engine light is on and the car won't go. If I press very lightly on the gas it will speed up a
little but once I press down passed a certain spot the gas pedal goes to the floor and the
won't go. Then after a while the light goes off and the car drives great. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

First I would try to catch the check engine light being on and see what code or codes are coming up but most likely I would check Throttle Position Switch and clean Throttle Body and Idle Air Control Valve.
There is a hidden fuse box under the dash
I have a 1993 Ford escort and is wont crank up changed the battery and I smell gas really strong under the hood. Could you please give me some information why its doing that.
I changed the timing belt and timing belt tensioner and the freeze plug froze. Got a new battery still won't crank up could you give me some information please.
Oh i forgot the gas cut off switch comes on. So if you can give me some information it would be greatly appreciated.
