1997 Ford Escort - Page 3 Questions & Answers
What would cause it run for a while and then stop and you have to wait for a few hours before it will start again? Is it vapor locking?
You do some testing. When the problem is ongoing, if it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it, while you visually check for spark at the spark plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure. Also, check for fuel injector pulse. If your missing all three, check for rpm signal, comes from crank sensor. Don't replace anything unless your testing points in that direction. I can't see anything from here.
How long since a tune-up? Can you check applicable trouble codes? To check codes, yourself, at the least, you need an obd2 code reader. Some of the national brand auto stores will check codes for free, if there are any.
AIRBAG LIGHT
Common fault on FORD
Usually due to a poor connection in the YELLOW PLASTIC CONNECTOR underneath the passenger seat.
Just push it together properly and it should clear the AirBag fault
