A $75 diagnostic fee is a whole lot cheaper than the parts you will be throwing at it.

Tad more than $75.00 - but here's the gist and closure to this thread!


Ok - so it turns out, I "missed it by that much!" I was on the right trail - it is an electrical problem caused by the *drum roll please* - Fuel Pump Driver Module. There's a module inside the passenger rear door - that has been eating fuel pumps since 1999. Anyways, I know have 2 choices, pay $240 for diagnosis, limp the car back home & repair it myself OR pay the man $600 parts, diagnosis & labor - with him making no money on parts ($136 PDM & $200 on pump).

Either way - there's the culprit and solution!

    $240 in diagnostics? That's a bit outrageous.

    Most shops charge 1 hour for diagnostics and with a scan tool the FPDM would have been diagnosed pretty easily as I was telling you in the first place.

    From what I gathered - it took them quite some time to narrow it down to that area - things would run fine until the engine heated up, etc.

    It is what it is... Frown

    Seems a bit high with no tear down but on the other hand intermittents can be tough to track down if it has run before it acts up ( I thought that is what installers were for......Tongue)

    Glad to hear you got it going,,,,,,,,thx 4 letting us know the fix......

    No problem - I know how frustrating it is to find a thread that has tons of detail but no solution. Hopefully someone else will benefit from my pain and suffering (LOL).

    Not sure if you read the entire thread but yeah the symptoms would only appear once the car heated up to running temp. I think the IAC or choke system would leave the car to run on it's own and then the Fuel Pump Driver Module would take over and wreak havoc!

    SOLUTION - Re: 99 Escort 2.0 - bogging/stalling on acceleration Sign In

    Ok - New Fuel Pump Driver Module AND a new Pump & filter and the Escort is running fine!

    Thank you all for you input and ideas...
