    Another person told me it could be the spark plug wire/cable. There could be a fault.

96 escort 1.9 manual jerking while accelerating 96 escort 1.9 manual

best advice is dont go 40mph in 5th gear... if you are going up a hill at 40mph in 5th gear i have no doubt that it is jerking, your putting too much stress on the engine. shift up to 4th or 3rd you will be fine. 5th gear is an overdrive gear. 55+mph

1999 Ford taurus. My car whines/hums when it starts up and becomes higher pitched when I accelerate or the rpms go up. Becomes lower pitched as the rpms go down.. Transmission?

no this is not the transmission, based on my experience it is most likely the power steering pump, if is the single most common source of this type of noise in any Ford

My 1999 Ford escort idles rough when the car is in drive and im on the break.

While this can come from several sources, a 'normal' misfire from a single plug can cause that. Another possibility is the idle air control may not be functioning as it should.
You didn't mention it but we can assume you have an automatic transmission. Standing with the brakes on and the tranny in drive, does load down the engine somewhat (drag) so nearly anything out of whack can cause the rough idle.

1999 ford escort i have a fuel pressure problem no pressure car off at fuel rail low pressure ignition on car misses when excelerating

your fuel pump only runs for 2 seconds with the key on, unless it is running. Safety reasons. It runs during starting all the time, and all the time if engine is running.
check fuel pump relay in driver kick panel and inertia switch reset in trunk. Se owner manual for info.

1999 ford escort (lx i think) speedometer

For lwthegirl; invest <$20 in an aftermarket service manual from Haynes or Chilton.
They are available from any chain parts stores and will pay you back with time many times over.

For the 'guest' I would recommend the same since it will show you where the speed sensor is hidden.
There are several possibilities; wheels, drive shafts, etc. essentially anywhere that is related to road speed and independent of engine or transmission.
