The last of a classic breed, the 2003 Ford Escort was the final model in one of the automaker's top-selling economy lines.
The popular subcompact was designed as a low-cost family car. The '03 Escort was offered in two bodystyles: a four-door sedan and the sporty ZX2 coupe. Buyers had a choice among standard, Premium, and Deluxe trim levels.
One engine, a 2.0 liter inline-4 with a 110-horsepower output, was available for the '03 Ford Escort. 5-speed manual transmission came standard, and 4-speed automatic transmission was an option.
Although it wasn't long on power, the 2003 Escort sure was thrifty at the pump. With an EPA estimated mileage per gallon of 25 highway/33 city, the Escort's fuel efficiency was one of its best features.
I have an 03 ford escort that won't start. I have spark and fuel. I have replaced battery, fuel injectors, crank and camshaft position sensor, coil pack, spark plugs and wires, engine coolant temperature sensor. No other ideas as to what it could be.
I have replaced the idle sensor and also cleaned the throttle body but no change. What else could it be? Some people suggest i change the fuel filter? Please advise as im desperate cause the car is in daily use. When i come to a sudden stop the idle drops and car switches off. Ford ikon 2004 model
I was doing 70 down the highway when my car stopped running the timing belt hadn't broke but looking at the tensioner it was no good I replace the tensioner lined up the cams found top dead center and set the timing however it's still won't run any suggestions on what I should do next
I put in a new fuel pump starter and fuel filter it will go and then start to act like ots bogging down then it wont accelerate at all. I'll put it in park turn it off turn key to on off 3 times real fast then start it and it is really slow and when it does that or just revs up it makes a popping noise like something is clogged
When driving home last night i found my car was struggling to get up a hill near my place. On the way down i realised my car had slipped out of gear (its an automatic) and was just revving. I have checked the transmission fluid and it seems fine. I had just put the car into overdrive so im thinking it might have triggered a problem with the car computer system. I will try and reset that later but if that doesn't work, any suggestions? Its a 2003 ford Mondeo sedan
