I need to replace either a blown fuse or relay to the fuel system in my Escort. Where would I be able to find a wiring diagram online instead of having to dish out for a Haynes Manual?

Go to autozone.com. Add whatever Ford you are beating on. Click Repair Info on the left. Click Vehicle Repair Guides. Click Chassis Electrical, then over on the right, Electrical Diagrams.
Here's '91-'99 (I figgered no Ford older than '91 would still be on the road anyway) : http://www.autozone.com/shopping/repairGuide.htm?pageId=0900c1528008debf

Maybe one of the many Escort forums could help? I used FEOA years ago. I really don't even know if it's still around.

I saw a Toyota pickup being flat towed by an early '80s F150 this morning.

The fuse block under the hood has the fuse for the fuel system, and the cover for the fuse block usually has a legend on it.
As for wiring diagrams. If you want a manual, what you're looking for is the EVTM from Ford. That's an "Electrical Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual."

Edit: Here's a thread on TurboFord where I got my problem figured out. The wire between the relay and the pump burned up completely. I just basically ran a new wire (like mentioned in the other thread you had about this one): http://www.turboford.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=001536

John, you sure the Toyota wasn't pushing the Ford?
I do think that Ford trucks were pretty good.

Did you check your inertia safety switch?

Also, late '80's to mid '90's Ford stuff had fuel pump relays made of rock candy. Many of them just hung in the wiring harness and would fill with water; I had a buddy whose Ranger was continually stalling. I lifted the relay to the vertical position and rusty greenish water started dripping out of it.
The relay casing is either blue or green, I forget which.
The later ones had power distribution blocks that used a cheapo version of the ubiquitous Bosch 'ice cube' relay and they were famous for bad relays and loose mounting terminals due to overheating.

Upon further examination by my mechanic, its the timing belt. Is the Escort 1.9 motor an interference or a non-interference motor? Also have people had bent valves when the timing belt goes?

1.9's are freewheelers.
