After a short freeway run my escort died while coasting thru underpass. I thought it might be bad battery terminals (had a problem with that a few weeks ago) Cleaned them and tried to start but no go, even with a jump. Had it towed home and put a full charge on it (battery was completely dead) Tried to start after charge and engine will barely turn over, had the battery checked and it s good. Didn't notice warning light on dash , one I haven seen before "FUEL CUTOUT". I checked the fuel cutoff switch in the rear passenger side speaker well and I think it's working alright. I've checked all the fuses and they're good. Am I looking at a bad fuel pump? Please any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated...Thank you.
