I'm having troubles with my otherwise great Ford Escort. It currently has around 75xxx miles on it. I was driving it yesterday and it just stopped running. I'm thinking right now it's either the fuel pump or the Belt that I can't remember the name of right now went out. I am waiting for a friend to show up so I can see if the belt is gone or not. But I need to try to find a diagram for the fuse box so I can check the fuses for the fuel pump before I try to change it out just in case one of the fuses just went out.

To explain how it died it basically just lost power in the engine. the electrical is all still working perfectly. I simply noticed I wasn't speeding up any longer and pulled of the side and the car was dead as if I had run out of gas or the belt snapped. but I figure I would here something had the belt gone out but I have never had one go out before so I'm unsure. If you guys have any other thoughts on what else could be going on with it or the box diagram that would be fantastic.

 

I forgot to add that I know if I pick up a manual for the car from a parts store that it will have it in it but I currently have to walk to the parts store so I don't want to make too many trips. I intend on picking up the manual on my first and hopefully only parts run today.
