Crandis16 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I just picked up a 99 Ford Escort zx2 automatic with pnp'd head and cams Drove down to Virginia and back in a day towering it with a 1990 2.9l v6 Ford ranger. Almost killed the transmission passing through the Appalachian mountains lol. I started by stripping the interior and undoing all the messed up writing that the previous owner had done to it. All but the carpet, seats, and dash are left. Before I do an interior swap I want to deaden the entire interior. Wtf, butt connectors on a fuel injector??? It currently doesn't run. I'm doing troubleshooting.to find out what's wrong now. I can hear the fuel injectors during away but that's all. The car had been sitting for three years.

LotsOroom Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 check and see if the fuel pump is getting the right pressure. if so check you mass air flow meter, or map sensor and tps. 2003 Chevy blazer 4x2, it has a tape deck. 1999 Acura integra, whats a radio? 1983 kawasaki kl250R bobber, my phone is almost loud enough.

Crandis16 Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 check and see if the fuel pump is getting the right pressure. if so check you mass air flow meter, or map sensor and tps. I'm swapping for a 98 fuel rail because the 99.5+ models don't have a valve stem on them to check for fuel pressure. I think that may be it though. I have another MAF that I can try, but that will be after I can fire it up. My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotsOroom Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 usually when I have problems it always turns out to be a fuse or something simple. 2003 Chevy blazer 4x2, it has a tape deck. 1999 Acura integra, whats a radio? 1983 kawasaki kl250R bobber, my phone is almost loud enough.

COLTON94 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Sence it's running I'd check mad and o2s, those control how much fuel goes in, if those are good it may be the cam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
