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 99 ford escort questions...
I need some direction or instructions with a 99 Ford Escort that I have. It is running very rough, so I've changed all the wires, plugs and coil on the vehicle. This had resolved a similar issue with my 97 F-150. So...

The vehicle will idle fine, I can even rev it up, but the second I put it in gear - it bogged to the point of stalling. The further I press the pedal - the more it bogs. Fuel pump maybe? or throttle body position sensor?

What really has me concerned is that I found a ring of oil around the top part of the threads of the old plugs. Would this be head cover gaskets or valve cover gaskets? And would this possibly lead to the rough idle?

Thanks...
