1999 ford escort 105,000miles.I know something is not right with one of the catalyc converters, but when you try to start it it acts like it dont want to but will. But it dont stay running. Its almost like it is flooding itself. Also my friend said the fuel pressure was at 60 instead of 30.

Check the fuel pressure regulator, or just relieve the fuel pressure by taking the fuel pump relay off, and try starting it if it does start it will stall and if it dont start no worries, just let it crank for 5-7 seconds, the put the ralay on and start it up, should start right away, and you shopuld be good to go if not change the regulatorr, the relay is under the hood in the fuse box.
