Ford EscortFord 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.
I have a 98 escort I am workin on for a friend, that is simply giving me a hard time. I cannot get the radio to turn on. I've checked the fuses, even the 6 that are kinda hidden. All are in good shape. I have yet to check the actual radio itself. Have broken collar bone and not able to really do work yet.
Also, the car stalls if the gas and clutch are pressed at the same time. But only seems to do this over 40mph. It stalls quick and smooth. I can drop the clutch and car will restart. I can also just turn the ignition and the car turns back on, no problem. I've looked around the best that I can right now, but nothing that suggests issues. When I heal I'm going to start checking more into it stalling.
Anyways, just trying to get some ideas in what to look at when i get better.
Its spring time - watch out for motorcycles. Give plenty of room. We don't have metal surrounding us!!!
