Tyranny seems to engage slow at first. I had tyranny fluid and new filter installed. Put new speed sensor in. could it be a flex plate?? Any way to tell?

WHER IS THE SECRET KEY OF GAS PUMP?

If you mean the fuel pump re-set button, Fords used to put them in the trunk area, maybe behind a trim or moulding piece. If it's not there, you may have to check with the dealer, or someone familiar with later Escorts. Good luck.

Hi, I have a 1998 Ford Escort SE with 2.0

The large end should fit the rubber grommet, so it goes down. The small diameter end should connect to the vacuum line.

Automatic ford escort 1998 will not shift out of "park"

There is a switch between the brake and the transmission. I forget what its called but unless you have your brake pedal pressed your car will not shift out of park. If you do have your brake pedal pressed there may be something wrong with the sensor.
