    Can I save this car
    I think I have diagnosed my 1992 ford escort with having spark knock. Here is a YouTube video that matches the sounds my car has made.

    Yesterday my car completely died without any locking up noises or anything. Almost like it ran out of gas. Are there any cheap fixes for it maybe. It will no longer start

    Two words. Timing belt. That car has a belt not a chain and chances are if there are over 60 thousand miles it broke. Call the dealership and ask if that car has an interference motor. If it does than you will need at least a top end rebuild. If it doesn't than take the inspection plate off the belt housing and check the belt. Broken or slipped means replace good means problem is elsewhere.
