2001 Ford Escape
Other than putting on huge tires, is there a way to change speedometer gears or reprogram something in order to have a
speedometer test read slower than actual speed?

I know this has been addressed before but it is a recurring problem with
many Ford vehicles. I have just cleaned the MAF on my '99 Windstar with the
3.8 V-6 for the second time and it has again solved engine knocking and
improved performance.

There seems to be quite a few auto places selling aluminum

A while back, my '87 Crown Vic (302) stalled out on me, the battery was
rather dead. I was stuck in the middle of nowhere, so I had it towed home.
At first I thought the new alternator was defective (it was 1 ...

Fellow Ford drivers,  I finally have the time to replace my lower
control arm.  I can't seem to remove this ball joint.  I have removed
ball joints since 1992 on other cars.  I have a special tool that clamps

Ok here goes. Maybe some one knows whats up.  Bought a 99 sport. have a
thumping noise, like if you would take a 1/8 inch piece of wood and strap it to
the threads of a tire. Thats what it feels like. Anyway took it to Ford for
regular service and they checked it out for an hour. ...

The car - 1977 Thunderbird, 302, 2bbl
The problem-  A no-start condition on a hot engine, after it has sit for
10-15 minutes. I have to let it sit for up to an hour to get it going again.
There's no spark until its ready to run.

I'm looking at purchasing a 92-94 Ranger. I'm considering the 2.3L 4Cyl or
the 3.0L V6. First off, is the transmission the same for both engines? And
lastly, are these auto trannys in the ranger, the same ones they use in the
early aerostar's with the v6 3.0L?

I have a 1986 Ford Escort. Everything runs great, and it only has minor
dents and dings. I want to buy a new car and was wondering how much I could
get for it. Please give me some thoughts, thank you.

I have a 2004 Mach1 with 1050 miles.  Since new the motor has not idled
smoothly when warm.  It varies some but is never smooth; it is rough
enough that you can see the shaker hood shaking and the radio antenna
shakes.  The car also runs slightly unevenly when you first drive off

If lights are on, everything in the dashboard are illuminated but the fuel
gage. Does anybody out there know what the problem is?

I've got a 2000 Escort zx-2 with almost 60k miles.  At high rpm's the
battery light will come on but as soon as it drops below 5000 rpm it will go
back off.  Does this sound indicative of a bad alternator and is 60k miles
an average life span or should I look for a problem elsewhere ...
