Niiiice
And yes greg, pretty much every honda with an intake(or a hole in the stock piping) gets a whistle, although i dont know if the same goes in an escort!? id do what fc735 said and check that stuff. He seems to know what he's talking about, good luck man.

I think the stereo part is caused when the power wire is too close to the speaker wires or blue sensor wire, I know in like the chevy trailblazers that was a big problem. At least in the ones I helped work on.
Do you have RCA's or a system ran in it?

-has an AWD down under cousin known as the Ford Laser TX-3 that has a turbocharged 1.8L DOHC BP-T motor making 180hp/180ft-lbs tq
-has another AWD and turbocharged cousin known as the Cosworth RS...perhaps you have heard of it?
-actually has aftermarket support for them: http://www.corksport.com and http://www.zxtuner.com for instance
-unique? yup.
any idiot can fix a Honda, Toyota or a DSM but it takes someone who wants to be an individual to fix up an Escort. the people that tune their Escorts are very proud in taking something that gets looked down upon by others and making it something that is unique and will stand out. go to feoa.net or crank0r.com and look at all the people who take pride in having something different.
who knows, you could one day be lined up next to one at the track and it will blow your doors off. until you give the topic starter respect for wanting to have something unique, it would be wise for you to keep your snide comments about Ford Escorts to yourself.

Re: Problems with Ford...Little help please
It died since we did the oil..i ran the HELL Out of it and its not doing it..i did notice a small rust hole in the oil filter when we changed it..apprelty it was sucking air..or spitting oil..which now i know why id put a qt of oil in it a month...
and what perfomance parts could i put on a 91 ford escort LX 1.9l...throttlebody....
New engines..etc...cus now that he said it..my insurance would still be cheap as shit..but have a pretty fast little car...
ANd does ANYONE know were i can get a cheap-o bumper for it..
