 I recently picked up a clean 1984 MK VII. Nice car but it needs some TLC.
I've gotten the air suspension and electronic goodies in shape so now it's
time to zero in on the brakes and suspension. This weekend I plan on going
through the rear brakes. Can someone tell me about the ...

A friend just bought a 1985 Tempo, standard trans, 4 cyl...

car has been sitting for a few hours without running. The A/C is also turned
off. Is this normal?

  I have a 88 t-bird with a 5.0, there is a reacall, its called Throttle
Lever Grommet, what part would this be, and would it have somthing to do

I have a 1995 Taurus SE with the 2V 3.0L V6.  When the car is in gear
or in park and the A/C is on (basically when the engine's turning at

OK, first let me brag.  Saturday I bought a U of Cal cop car (skateboard
chaser), a 1996 Crown Victoria with 67K on it.  Also, as luck would have it,

rack, and.....the Edge 9000 lightbar in the trunk.  ...

it has cooled  for some time, the clutch for the compressor makes a noise
like the gears are slipping.  The dealer said that Ford is ...

I have a '94 Probe with the 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine that has developed
an oil leak. It looked like it was coming from the bottom of the timing
cover area at first glance. I figured it was a crankshaft ...

I have a '99 Buick Regal LS and am in the INITIAL stages of looking at a
Lincoln LS used.  Preferable 01-03.
I heard the '00 model is not up to snuff in some areas.  And I know the '03
model started with the Variable Valve Timing and the V8 up to 282 hp.

While driving last night my Over Drive light on the end of my gear shift came
on. Normally that means OD is off. But after pushing the button on the end of
the gear shift it turned off and pushing again it went on. (Over Drive not the

How is the door molding held on the right rear door on a 99ish Sable ? I
saw one on the road today missing the molding and there were at least 6

Hi All,
My wife went to start up our 2000 Expedition this morning and as soon as it
started up, it shut off.  I got in it and tried about 5 times and it did
