I have a 2001 Ford escape with the 3.0 and I have been having the same problem for about three months now. I've changed an ignition coil because my check engine light said cylinder 5 miss fire i checked the spark plug and it was gaped right so i changed the coil. Nothing happened, it idles rougher than hell and when i try to give it gas it dies almost immediately. Please help!
probably a faulty or going bad crank shaft positon sensor or cam postion sen they both affect when the spark is fired when bad rough starts no starts poor idle ectprobably a faulty or going bad crank shaft positon sensor or cam postion sen they both affect when the spark is fired when bad rough starts no starts poor idle ect

There is an electrical fault that causes the fuse to blow. Maybe a wire has chafed against the metal body and vibrations causes it to short out the fuse. This requires checking the wiring from the instrument cluster to the fuse box for worn insulation etc.
I would think it might be the coolant temp sensor as this increases the fuel for cold start. like a choke. it may also change the timeing of the engine cause it is read by the computer
1)You injectors could be clogged, and needs cleaning. Buy some fuel injector cleaner and see if you get compression back. 2) If not, have your car recently done any timming work to it?, if so, timing wasn't correctly set and top dead center isn't being fully achieved and needs to be set agian. 3) You car isn't getting the correct fuel to air ratio mixture and this is causing lost of compression, and needs to check your throttle intake or sensor. 4) Your piston cylinder suffer mechanical damage.
i also have a ford escape. the other three plugs are under the upper intake manifold. You have to remove this to change them takes about an hour in a half if you have some experiance working on cars
take it in for a full daignostic.
