There is no separate sensor. The airbag module has an inertia sensor that determines if the airbag is deployed. The module is in the center of the dash area, mounted to the floor. You'll have to look behind the heater core box to see it.

The Ford Escort ZX2, the 2.0 liter is a interference engine,The valve and the piston kissed each other as they met with a broken timing belt,Just to let you know a cam position sensor does not create rough idle, it can stall the engine at a stop sign,but the solution is a valve job, and who ever put the timing belt on after the job should have done a cylinder effeciency test.

Randomly changing parts is the hard and EXPENSIVE way to diagnose this problem.
This could be caused by the anti-theft system, it could be caused by shorted reference voltage circuits to your cam, crank, mass airflow, map or throttle position sensors. This could be caused by missing ignition voltage at the ignition coil. This could be caused by shorted control circuits between the powertrain control module and the ignition coil, etc., etc., etc.

The FIRST thing that should be done is to scan your powertrain control module (PCM) as well as your generic electronic module (GEM) and your instrument panel module (IPC) to see if there are any fault codes present. If there is a P1260 code for example, this would indicate that your antitheft system is the cause of the "no-spark" condition. In this case, you would diagnose your antitheft system, NOT your engine control system. Please note that MOST generic OBD code readers CANNOT do all of this.

Found these two fuses. Not only check the fuses, use a test light and check voltage on fuse circuit, one is hot all the time. The other goes hot with key on. Ground wire is important, also, ground wire is usually black in color.

interesting challenge! if the axle nut is not rounded there are some powerful electric impact guns out there, the other side of the street, the transmission once unbolted and the axle pryed loose and there is enough room between sub frame and engine it will come out, automatic is easier but heavier... heat wrench would be nice (torch)

You can buy a recharge kit for like $30 with the gauge, follow directions. See if it helps most likely you have a leak that's a given but even a very very small leak take time to leak. So for $30 try it if it lasts fine sometimes its just an O- ring or the Schrader valve leaking (the valve you put the freon in thru) check for any oily areas yup that's the AC oil it will tell you sometimes you can't find with ***** eye use special glasses to see, you can find them at the parts store with dye in the 134a it stands out. Hope I helped Mike

Hi Your alarm or engine immobiliser are usually wired into your ignition wire at the back of the dashboard you will probably need to find out where its been joined to your wiring loom a good starting point is to take your stereo headset out and have a look at the wiring behind it as usually alarm technicians go for the quickest route and you have an ignition cable that goes to your stereo I hope this makes sense and helps you out.

Hi Check the gearbox mount. If the mount in good condition then get a gearbox specialist to check the box.

run the fault codes have an exhaust shop check the cat converter as it may be blocking the exhaust system
