95 Ford Escort Problems?

so i have a 95 ford escort that i have had for about 6 months. There has been some problems lately with it. When i would push the petal down to try and speed it up it wouldn't. it would sound like it was flooding the engine and i was only getting around 11mpg. So i first had a new catalytic converter put on that didn't do anything. Then i changed the fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs, wires, cal-pac module and still didn't help it. So then the timing belt was change and then finally a new fuel pump was put on and for about 2 days it was running better than before it went downhill. So about 3 days after the fuel pump was put in the check coolant light came on and i didn't think of anything and filled it up how high i was suppose to. After that it smelled like it was running hot when i went to go get a friend. When i got to his house my car just died on me and now won't even start. It sounds like its not getting any gas and doesn't want to start. What should i do? I need to know asap.95 Ford Escort Problems?Who was the mechanic who sold you the catalytic converter, and all those other things, they should give your money back. It is a pure case of mechanic mal-practice. You got ripped off.



Considering all you have said above I don't think we can solve this on the interenet. You better find a competent auto mechanic. Someone who knows what he is doing could have this figured out in short order. Try the Ford dealer.95 Ford Escort Problems?One thing is you didn't mention when changing the catalytic converter that you changed the oxygen sensor and the O2 sensor should of been replaced bec it caused the catalytic converter to go more then likely.

First off is it trying to turn over at all , second is there spark , 3rd is there gas, 4th you over heating it may of caused the electrical to get wet and that's why it's resistant to start.



Hope that helps and best of luck , by the way I'd be checking that rad ,rad roses , thermostat area and under the car to see if any antifreeze is leaking.95 Ford Escort Problems?I'm gonna take a shot in the dark as I think you covered about everything except one , Go out and pull you dip stick , any oil? How about any water,sounds to me as though the engine is blown. Head gasket blew or no oil if neither of these ,,,look on the ground for oil , I dont want to sound mean but I think it sounds like a blown engine.. Wish ya Luck ,I have a 1993 that I use to scoot around in when I dont drive the truck.
