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 89 GT stops while driving - multiple codes

I own an 89 EscortGT and in the past couple of years the engine has developed a problem with stopping while I'm driving. Most of the time it happens when I put the clutch in as I'm coming to a stop. It will just completely die. It will then, after a couple of minutes, start back up. This has happened only now and then, until this weekend. It died, then restarted. I went for a mile or two and it died again. It kept repeating this all the way back home ( 20 miles ). It would restart and run like normal and then just die. In the time I could drive it between stops, when I would give it gas, it would bog down. I've driven it twice since then and it has ran without any problems. Today, I took it to Advance Auto Parts and they put the code scanner on it and it gave these codes:

KOEO code 11 - Pass - no faults detected
Memory code 14 - Profile Ignition Sensor Circuit Malfunction
Memory code 18 - Erratic Pulses Tach Input to PCM SPOUT Ckt Ground
Memory code 41 - O2 sensor Lack of switching Lean
Memory code 42 - O2 sensor Lack of switching Rich
Memory code 96 - Fuel Pump Secondary Circuit Open PCM to battery
Memory code 65 - System did not go into closed loop
Memory code 72 - Power interrupt or re-initialization detected
Memory code 85 - Fuel trim at limit Lean
Memory code 86 - Fuel trim at limit Rich

Can anyone help ?

Clear codes, run on idle for a while and retest for codes.
