A couple of questions concerning our mini-van:
-Any suggestions on diagnosing a problem with the fuel gauge?
Specifically, it almost always show empty (yes, even after a fill-up), with
the exception of after driving for perhaps an hour or so it will start to

I just had a friend help me replace the radiator in a 1990 Ford Taurus
SHO that had been leaking lots of coolant. Now there are no more leaks
but the engine temperature gauge on the dashboard doesn't move. It
just sits at zero. I've been told that we probably plugged one of the

Hey Guys (and Gals, must be politically correct :) ), I've got a problem
that's got my stumped.. here's the details of the car, the problem is
described below
97 Taurus GL, 3.0 Vulcan engine, ~110,000 miles.

I am thinking of getting a used Mondeo. could anybody give me some idea how
reliable is this car?

I have a 1998 Escort with 39000 miles on it.  I don't drive it much!
After sitting unused for several weeks, I found it would not shift out
of park.  The brake lights go on and I can hear a small click from the
console when I apply the brakes.  So it probably is the solenoid.

My good daily driver sedan got totaled a few weeks
ago. Lacking the funds to replace with the like, I purchased a
"problem child" car a neighbor got fustrated with. Its a 93 taurus
with 88,000 miles, ran poorly. only paid $75. for it since our

The CD player in my 96 Sable Stn Wagon (six-disc cartridge, installed in
trunk) does not release the cartridge. When pressing the cartridge release
button the player attempts to pull in the first disk, retries several times,
then gives up without releasing the cartridge.

Can anyone look up for me the torque specification for the bolt/pin
that secures the caliper to the front suspension assy on a 1994 F150
2WD 5L manual transmission.  The bolt/pins are about 3" long and only
threaded partially to allow the caliper to float; they are about 3/8",

This 3.0 L Vulcan model has a y-pipe containing dual catalytic
converters.  110K miles.  The bank B catalyst shows failure on
measurements, and a P0430 code.  According to what I have read, Ford
says that the P0430 code cannot be set by bad sensors, it is a bad

I was driving my van the other nite (e150 with 5.0) and when I fully
accellerated from a start, it shifted to third gear, I lost oil pressure,
why is that, and when I park it and it is not running for a few, when I
start it back up it is fine, what would make it do that?

That light!  That light!  I bet you know which one I'm talking about.  Yep,
that blasted check engine light!
It first came on around 32k miles (the car now has 46k -- no, it isn't
driven much).  The light is accompanied by clatter, which worsens as the

My wife's 94 Taurus is acting up again. After sitting for a while it dose
not want to crank. I can hear the fuel pump run when you turn on the key
and the self test returns memory code 211.(boy I hate am intermitting
problem)

Has anyone else made the same observation? Have a '95 Escort. But I could be
talking about almost any car. When the exhaust started getting noisy, we had it
replaced at the local tire/exhaust/brake shop. We purchased the car when it was
almost new, so I'm sure the exhaust had never ...
