Originally posted by GeronimoThe 95 protege was the first year of that model's production run. It made perfect sense to incorporate the OBD II system into that car since it was federally mandated for the following year. The 95 escort was the second to last year of that models production run. It made zero sense to make it OBD II compliant since it wasn't required and the car was already into it's 4th year of production.
Originally posted by GeronimoOn the other hand; as early as 1994, the V6 Ford Mustang was OBD II.
Don't get me wrong. I owned a 98 Escort station wagon like yours and loved it until my wife crashed it. It still ran but there were problems and wasn't worth the repairs. She now drives a 99 Mercury Tracer. For non-Ford drivers, it's the same car as the Ford Escort(same engine, transmission & all).Last edited by mannydingo; 02-23-2008, 09:16 AM.

They really did too!

The 1.9 will run forever, the auto tranny will not (but it will come close if maintained). The BP will not bolt up to that tranmission. If you decide to part it I'd be interested in the steering wheel if it's in perfect condition.
Maybe because of the frame issue, but how without removing the damaged parts as I did?David

I always use the easy way of pulling a frame! Tree a chain welded to the area you need pulled! toss that baby is reverse and slam it! LOL I wouldn't actually recommend this but we have done it a few times when we needed to!
