It sounds like the motor but everyone I talk to says I would have had some warning signs. I had none. no over heating, no waning lights, no noises, nothing. It won't even stay started. its a 2001 ford escort se 2.0 engine with about 140,000 on it. Please help. Thanks Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator May 25, 2011, 3:02 PM Post #2 of 5 (3036 views) Re: 2001 ford escort se, loud clanging, no warning Sign In We can't hear it over the Internet so you're going to have to get a professional to listen to it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. ihateford81 New User May 25, 2011, 4:08 PM Post #3 of 5 (3029 views) Re: 2001 ford escort se, loud clanging, no warning Sign In ok. It sounds like ball bearings in washing machine. Loud metal to metal grinding. if i had the money to get it towed to a pro, I would. But since I don't, I thought maybe I could get some kind of help here.
