Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 1998 escort not getting enough gas into the engine. changed fuel filter, had fuel injectors looked at, got premium gas, no luck. the car idles extremely roughly and shakes uncontrollably. it feels like it wants to stall and bucks when idling and even while driving. the idle is becoming worse and worse to the point where i feel uncomfortable driving the vehicle. this used to happen periodically, now shakes and bucks everytime i drive the car. i am a poor college student and can not afford to continue taking it to a mechanic. *jb
