Please Help with 98 Ford Escort ZX2
 

The only problem our car had when we first got it on 2004 was that it needed brakes. In the last year it has decided to fall apart. We have recently put new plugs and wires on it, a new battery, and had the starter reworked. (We couldnt afford $130 for a new one) But twice now when I took it to work it wouldnt crank the next morning. We have had to tow it home both times. What gets me is the gas hand goes all the way past full and the check engine light stays on even if the key is not in it. nothing will work not even the lights or horn. Well we finally got the horn to work but then it wouldnt stop. We had to pull the fuss. Sometimes it will click like it wants to start and sometimes it wont. It wont boost off either. Nothing we have done has seemed to make a differance. What could the problem be??? We dont have the money to start just replacing parts till we find it. We really liket his car and would like to keep driving it for years to come but everytime we turn around it has another problem. Thanks for any help anybody can offer!!!
