94' ford escort issues?
drove my escort to my wifes work. when i went to leave it started and made a very loud rattling sound like something was rubbing. when i would put it in gear it would move a few feet then stall. i checked tranny fluid and although it was dark it seemed to be level wise. i also noticed that before this happened when i put it in gear before it would hesitate then it would jump and go. Have no idea what is wrong. cant figure out even if it were the tranny why it wont even run ok in park. any suggestions ?

That is simple to explain, once that transmission has worn its internal frictions off it will lock up. The torque converter is still pumping the fluid and the pressure through the valve body is still trying to engage the forward drive assemblies. This will make the engine want to die out on you, and the car will want to move forward but locks up. The fact that it wont run in park at idle will most likely be the torque converter and front pump assembly, this is always trying to build pressure and puts a load on the engine causing it to die.

a undesirable pump isn't whats placing this factor off a undesirable pump won't be able to "pop" this swap. The gas close off swap isn't something better than a inertia swap. the sole factor that units it off is a sturdy bump or your son slamming into curbs working over god is prevalent with what. while i grow to be a baby and fords approximately that 3 hundred and sixty 5 days stored popping the gas cut back of swap after resetting them for my girlfriends for the millionth time I only cut back the plug off and linked the wires to bypass the factor. the clarification in the back of this swap is to close off the gas pump while the automobile is in an twist of destiny so gas does not run allover the floor from any hoses that have been broken. Yeah i recognize its no longer the terrific factor to do yet its greater constructive then having your motor vehicle provide up contained in the midst of an intersection and getting hit in any case. Ford did no longer do the terrific job with the engineering of those switches.

it,s not the transmission. sounds more like the engine. it still should sit and run in park if the transmission was bad. this might sound crazy but is the parking brake off? not up by the driver but back by the rear wheels. it could be hanging up at the rear wheels.jack the back up and see if you can spin the wheels freely.

Manual or automatic? If auto how bad did the dipstick smell? If nasty you need to have it checked out by a licensed person. GOOD LUCK.
