How can check compression for ford escort 1989 1.9 4 cls
Hi there, I'm AL the owner of Big As Auto Repair.
When performing a compression test on each cylinder they must be within 25% of each other or this will cause the engine to run bad. However, if you have a compression reading of say 120, 125, 115, and 120 PSI then you have something else causing the engine to run bad. If you need further assistance go to my website below. Have an awesome day!

1989 ford escort turns over but wont start
if all you did was this...and and put a new battery in and still wont start...if you have went thru your plugs..wires..distributor..ignition coil...made sure your getting spark..if not..check your relays and fuses..preferebly one that deals with spark and timing for injectors..if everything is fine to that point...then try a crankshaft position sensor...it tells the pcm timing for fuel injectors and fire to the ignition coil...hopefully this helps.

The fuel/air mixture is too rich. Can be many things causing this. Seek out professional help in diagnosing the problem.
Wont start from just turning
- Yes you can retrieve the ODB codes. This one is not under the dash like so many. This one is under the hood. I am going to post a video that explains this is full for you. Your car does have a check engine light. So when you connect the key as shown then you will turn your ignition to on (not running) and count the flashes. The flashes will go in sets. Make sure to have paper and pen ready to write the number of flashes down. The video will explain this too.
