Tip: The max point reward for answering a question is 15.
Check the throttle position sensor on the throttle body and the cam and crankshaft position sensors. Run a diagnostic test with a code reader to see what codes are still in the computer.
A little more info would help.
Throttle position sensor?
How do you know they are reading max voltage?
Are you trying to replace the voltage regulator?
What do you mean "can't find code"? If the check engine light is on, there is a fault code stored in your onboard computer - that's the way it works. If you are using a generic OBD code reader, that is most likely the reason you cannot find any codes. You need to use a scanner that has the correct software to access your ENTIRE computer network, not just the "continuous memory" or "generic" side of your computer system.
The window problem is a seperate problem and must be diagnosed accordingly.
before 1996 they use onboard diagnosis system for jeep.
when you turn on key you need to count check engine light blinks.
here are codes taken from internet.

PCM = Powertrain Control Module (the engine computer)
MAP = Manifold Absolute Pressure (the sensor that measures how hard the engine is sucking air through the intake manifold
EEPROM = Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (a type of computer chip used inside the PCM)
the (app sensor)accelerator pedal position. to test unplug the electrical connector at the accelerator pedal position sensor. Using a digital multimeter and with the key in the RUN position, check the Green wire for 5 volts (pos lead from meter to green wire, neg lead to ground). Then check the black/white wire for good ground (pos lead from meter on Green wire, neg lead to black/white wire)--should read 5 volts.
Reconnect electrical connector to sensor.
look 214 is not a valid code for a 1995 escort, this is an OBD1 system. here is a list of trouble codes for this year of ford no matter the model.
You should find the diagnostic connector under your hood normally by the fender on the battery side. By just using your test light and a jumper wire, it will tell you what kind of problem you got.
KEY ON ENGINE OFF (KOEO) TEST Model years 1984-1995 all models of Ford 1. Make sure engine is fully warmed. If in doubt, run engine at 2000 rpm for 2 minutes. 2. Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds for system to shut off. Make sure A/C is off and transmission is in Park (automatic) or Neutral (manual). 3. Hook up light and jumper (or a tester if you have one). Turn key to ON (do not start engine). Read the codes.
How to do it?
Example code 23: your test light should flash 2 long consecutive flashes followed by 3 short pulses.

Best to leave it alone. You don't want to ******** your computer. I put a different filter on my '89 Ranger, but it fit right on, and there weren't any other hoses to worry about. Get a nice old pickup and soup that up.
did you check the throttle position sensor? Or, the fuel filter? the filter on my 92 lebaron is just a canister in front (towards the front of the car) of the gas tank. My tps went bad and it was causing the engine to cut out at random intervals. If you can get a multimeter, i can walk you through checking the tps for correct/wrong readings.
sorry dealer only ,this information is not published ,go to dealer and lay the golden egg ----owing to complexity of the anti-theft systems and not allowing this information for general use to stop car theft ??well thats the excuse anyway .do you know a good solicitor who can sue them under the freedom of information act you have stateside .because in europe the problem is acute with no re -address.. .software encrypted so if you try to read it it just show anything with a general mechanics reader .are you preparing the golden egg ??ready for the dealer ??my advice if it runs ok leave well alone and throw you scan master or digisoft reader in the bin as it will not work on modern cars and the newer the car the less you can do with it.
