Ok just picked up this ford escort they told me what was wrong when I bought it. They would drive this car 2 hours to work daily didnt have any problems. Now when you shut the car off it wont start again untill it cools down. I say no problem I buy it drive it home well 4 hours late I try to start it and it wont start got no fuel and no spark. I changed the crank sensor on it and it started right up. Now it still wont start after its gets hot drove into town and back then waited 2 hours and tried to go to work. Wouldnt start. Car rolls over just wont start. As soon as I got home from work I turned the key and it fired right up.

You're getting spark now after the CPS was replaced-are you getting fuel? If so check the fuel pressure if its within specifications.

No spark no fuel. Just changed coil pack drove it for half an hour shut it off and wont start 5 mins later. The parts I can get only go up in price from now. Im thinking the PCM or the ECU

Check and test the PCM power relay in the constant control relay module and also the fuel injector and fuel pump fuse.
