Car is an 94 escort station wagon,1.9L motor. Don't think it's related but who knows, I just put a new thermostat in it tonight, and took it for a ride, and had not gone very far(a few miles) and it quit running.(It did not overheat) I coasted to the side of the road, and tried to start it, it will run for about a second. When I turn the key off and on again I can hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds,and I'll crank it, but like I said,it only runs for a second or two. I can hear and feel ,the fuel pump relay click when I turn the key on, and click again when the pump stops running. I did check the impact cut off switch in the back, but it was not tripped. Is it possible the relay is bad? I didn't think they went bad too often,but it does seem like the fuel pump is not staying running. I have to a least get this car home, and I can't afford to take it to a garage. Any Ideas?
