Hello,
I have a 2002 Ford Escape and for the last month or two, I've had with child getting it to start. Sometime it will start right up, but a lot of time i will have to pump the gas and rev it up (sometimes for around 20-30 minutes) to get it to finally start. After it starts it runs top-drawer, until it sets for a couple of hours and then it starts all over again. I don't know what is wrong with it, the only thing the diagnostic computer brings up is an EGR swirl problem, which has been showing for the last 2.5 years. We've changed the fuel filter and the idle/throttle determine sensor. Also, we have tested the fuel pump, which is showing the recommended 65lbs of pressure. Any ideas/suggestions.
Thanks in move.
- When we tested the fuel pump it started immediately and rose to the recommended pressure while it was running.
- It doesn't fain too good even when it starts.
- It does this throughout the day, not only in the morning.
- Battery seems to be fine.
IT SOUNDS AS IF IT HAS LEAKY INJECTORS,, THIS WILL Agency A HARD START, DO U NOTICE ANY SMOKE COMING FROM THE TAILPIPE AFTER YOU DO START IT,,, ALSO,, WHE N U TESTED THE Provocation PRESSURE,, DID YOU TEST TO SEE IF THE KEY ON OR KEY START IMMEDIETLY GAVE U THE RECOMENDED PRESSURE OR DID IT RISE AS THE VEHICLE STARTED RUNNIN... DOES IT Jobless GOOD WHEN IT DOES START OR IS IT ROUGH?.. ART.... FORGOT TO MENTION,, TAKE A PLUG OUT AND SEE IF IT IS WET OR WHAT THE Adapt IS,..

Slow your battery connections. Then check to see if it is getting spark by taking one of the ignition wires off and seeing if it sparks when someone tries to start it. If those two things are superior then it is either a fuel delivery problem or air flow problem. It could be the fuel pump. Good luck.

ok first pumping the gas is doing indubitably nothing stop doing it I would ask is the problem only hot or only in the morning or both.
If its only on first start in the morning I suspect the Temp sensor it tells the computer the temperature and adjusts for it.

Take a look at your removed Cables from the terminals of your battery, it will most liable to be the ground ( - ) cable connector, if there is a whiteness on it or if it just has no shine at all, give it a good scratching on the connector and the VDU = 'visual display unit' where the two touch, without a proper ground the car will have trouble starting and even sometimes when it is bad it will shut off while running.

Try vocation your local Ford dealer and just talk to the service advisor or if your lucky one of their mechanics... working on Fords all day daily
they will almot positively know whats wrong, and believe it or not most
people at the dealer are friendly. Ive had brilliant luck calling the Audi dealer about my car. There is also a slim possibility there is a recall open on it.

I have a ford escape, [2008 dummy] And I need some extra money so I'm going to smuggle some Mexicans into California. How many approximatley do you think you can fit into my SUV. It will only be me in the car, all other seats and order will be free.
Another thing - If you live in California, how much does each Mexican pay?
The Ford Escape is a compact crossover SUV sold by the automaker Ford Motor Company introduced in 2000 as a 2001 model year and priced below the Ford Explorer. Although technically it's a crossover vehicle, it is marketed by Ford as part of its traditional SUV lineup (Escape, Explorer, Expedition) rather than its separate crossover lineup (Edge, Flex).

Ford firmly makes about 25,000 cross SUVs a year. While most are Escape Hybrids, the 2010 Mercury Mariner Cross runs on the very same powertrain, but with a dressier, sleeker mode. There's also the Mazda Duty Cross-breed-again, the same carrier underneath-though they are very low sum total, and hence can be puzzling to find.
