Ford Escort Ford Escort ZX2 is a hot-looking compact coupe with a rakish design. Yet its handsome interior reveals a roomy back seat and surprisingly large trunk. ZX2 provides responsive handling and good road manners and its engine delivers decent power. At the same time, the ZX2 is a practical car, with plenty of room in the back seats for friends.

Default 97 Escort died now wont start
97 Escort, 2.0 SOHC. I was driving home the other day and the car started bucking and cutting out then died. It will only start if I hold the gas to the floor, and then it will start and run rough if I keep it around 2000-3000 rpm's. It kind of makes a knocking sound as well, and it will not idle at all. So far I've replaced the cam sensor, crank sensor, coolant temp sensor. The timing belt is only about 5 months old. I'm getting spark out of the coil, and getting 40 psi at the fuel pressure regulator. IAC valve tested good. Anybody have suggestions where to look next? Could a bad O2 sensor or throttle position sensor cause this?

P.S. Its not giving me any codes either, which really helps me narrow things down!!
