My car has been starting fine and my battery is good. However, yesterday
after about 4 hours of hard rain, the car was difficult to start. (Also, I
should mention that my car was parked on a fairly substantial slope in the
driveway--the front being higher than the back.) When ...

I've been searching for a new car, actually an SUV. I'm debating on a Ford
Escape, but since I have certain needs to be met I am hoping someone can
help me. I'm in charge of contractors in a large home improvement
retailer. I need a vechicle which is not only dependable, but can ...

Hello to everyone on this group,
My sister owns a '89 Ford Tempo with really low mileage (like 90 000km or 56
000m). The car is really clean, almost no rust except in 2 very little
spots, the interior is great, etc. The car was owned by an old person who

If your mid-90's Ford has run up it's mileage to about 100 - 150 kmiles or
so, you might want to undertake a quick Saturday project that will probably
save you big bucks -and inconvenience- in the near future.
Check out the back of the alternator to see if the voltage regulator ...

My 94 Sable does not have heat at all. I tested the temperature control,
which is a poteciometer, and it's working OK; I measured its resistance and
it changes smoothly. The AC works fine, but it cools even when I turn the
temperature control to hot. A few months ago the radio ...

This is a California truck.  The whine sometimes continues for about 15-45
mins.  Mostly during cold weather.  I've listened with an open hood, and it
seems to be near the "smog pump."  Very hard to tell the location.  
Any help?

I am getting OBDII error codes 420 & 430.  Any idea what would cause both
codes to appear and the same time?

I have heard of and read the infamous TSB 3-16-1 for the above mentioned
codes. How can my mechanic go about diagnosising whether or not the service
proceedure described in the TSB is necessary. I don't want to go on an 'odds
are' diagnosis.

I bought a 2000 Taurus and it has the cd controls in radio/climate
control dashplate.  I'd like to install a cd player but can't decide
which way  to go; either a used trunk changer or a Scosche radio/climate
control dash panel change-out kit so I can install a radio/player up

Hi !!!
I own old Ford Sierra Ghia DOHC 2.0 made on May 1989. Recently I have
found that when it is raining ABS indicator is on and ABS didn't work at
all. I suspect electrical connections in wheel velocity sensors. I am

I've noticed recently that the entire ignition key and cylinder is "out" of
the steering column by about 1/4" (i can push it back, but it comes back out
again), and seems to be pretty loose, with a fair amount of wobble and play
when moving the key into different positions.

If anyone knows their way around the suspension for a 93 Taurus, I am looking
for some opinions, or ideas.
The front stabilizer link/bar is clunking pretty good. I noticed that the
rubber boots were shot on the link, so I replaced it, and the noise was gone.

My 1997 Ford TB 4.6 battery just took a dump.  No complaints as it was original equipment.  The battery was maintenance free, which means to me water cannot be added.  
Just called the local Ford dealer for a replacement.  I told the parts guy I wanted exactly the same battery ...

I can't find the EEC IV diagnostic connectors that the manuals say should be
somewhere under the hood of our 97 Escort wagon.  Where should I be looking?
Is it relevant that this is a Canadian-spec model?
