2005 for escape limited, recently had a hit a run, took it to collision center to get fixed, yet right after getting the car, my emissions light came on. I also noticed that my gas meter always stays at 3/4 of tank even though I have filled and used the vehicle. can you let me what could be wrong?

I noticed you said "van", the title of the question says "Problem with 2005 Ford Escape". I just wanted to make sure we're talking about the same vehicle. That code (for an Escape), would be a Fuel Rail Pressure and/or Temperature Sensor. As long as you have a check engine light on, you will not pass emissions. As soon as they see the light on, they will fail you immediately because they plug there monitoring machine directly into the OBD-II port. (On Board Diagnostics Series 2) under the drivers side dash. If the check engine light is not on at the time of the test, you might pass emissions as long as the engine is running ok.
I hope this info helps!subyguru

the light comes on because you have a troble code being set.Go to auto zone or other parts store that does a Free Read of you check engine light and find out the trouble code numbers,they will give you better idea of what is going on..Share this information with us so we can help you better...

emissions light on ???? What code is stored in the PCM ?Just Replacing part's isn't the way to a fix ,testing the electrical circuit's of the engine management system ,sensor's etc.. Without testing we would only be guessing ,sorry you can't afford to take it in , but ,that's is your only option . For what you spent on replacing part's an not fixing it ,you could have had it fixed at a qualified repair shop.

bad catalytic converter. The three coil's an spark plug's in the back ,under intake manifold . If the spark plug's on these coil on plug ignition systems don't get replaced the plug gap get's to wide an then the spark can not jump the gap . Shorts out the coil , find's shortest path to ground an it goes into the PCM an fries the computer . Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop

it can wait but you better check and see whats wrong. Good luck

It is a malfuntion alright
Anytime you get any light on the dash,you got problems
These lights have been on vehicles for 30 years,still there are thousands of people on this site along, who have no clue,no owners manual,and on and on.
Check for the code and have it repaired,won't go away
Part of the Govt's attempt ,for the last 50 years, to cut down on Exhaust Emissions,but people don't care.

Any time these lights come on there is need for concern. I'd suggest you take it back to the place which repaired the car and have them fix it.

two fuses one for each side if fronts work fuses ok ,check bulbs again across a battery ,and make sure the bulbs are the correct fittings ,ie-single pole or double pole

yeah, those escape's are tricky to fix with the seperate front transmisisons - ver expensive. ditch the car and buy something decent instead...
