  1. IIRC they build up pressure once the system is closed, so would only know if a guage was connected. I had a similar problem with a 1.4 Fiesta with the cvh think they called it PTE after and it was the crankshaft sensor. I had also changed it for the wrong one initially why it never worked properly.

    The ECU does control the fuel pump. It could possibly be the pump.

    You should also have the 3 pin diagnostic socket where you can plug a Gunsons fault code reader in. This would be an EECIV based system. All the fuel injected mk5 Escorts had this.

  2. With the new items are the plugs getting wet with fuel. Have you checked the fuel pump. Also do you have the correct crank position sensor and checked the firing order of the HT leads are correct.

    There is an EDIS unit that controls the spark signal from the ECU via the crank position sensor. This is usually mounted in the engine bay nearside wing.

  3. Better off buying it new. Although some of these suppliers do not post.

  4. The government plans to change the law on car modification to make it difficult to do certain things without being penalised. 

    There is a consultation opened which closed on 22 November 2021 at 11:45pm, this has not been publicised for obvious reasons and in some ways can impact tuning packages that change the emissions of the car.
