Engine Mechanical problem
2001 Ford Escape 4 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual 98000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
After driving and shut off engine car won't start and run with out holding accelerator down. If I wait 20 to 30 minutes before I restart the engine it runs ok.

sounds like you could have a leaking fuel pressure regulator causing your car to flood. you can check to see if the regulator vacuum hose has fuel in it, this is a tell tale that it is bad. hope this helps
