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.

Without a battery to balance the load, the altenator will flucuate between under and over voltage. You might have fried the PCM. Start by checking all of the fuses under the hood and dash.
