I have a `93 Ford Escort. Engine has been running fine. Car was parked after last use, not used for a month or so and now will not start. The starter/engine will turn over and it sill rev up to about 4000 rpm, then die out. It weill do this for 2 or 3 times, and then will not start at all.  
  
 I have:  
  
 1) visually checked all connections  
  
 2) checked all fuses  
  
 3) checked the cutoff switch.  
  
 4) Fuel filter and PVC valve are new,  
  
 Anyone have any good suggestions?
