The low-mileage Dunlop tires on my 2001 Esacpe make a lot of noise. Steers perfectly, can't feel any vibration, no cupping, recent rotation did nothing, but a low vibrating sound is heard when coasting/decelerating. Local tire store has an expensive machine and wants $25/tire to ...

| 87 Ford Taurus Sedan | 14 Feb 2005 01:20 GMT | 12 |
I have an 87 Ford Taurus in great shape. My main complaint is the gas tank is too small. It seems to hold about 11 gallons so, it has no range. At 19 to 22 mpg, I can only get about 220 miles to the tank. The most recent problem is that the inside door handle that should be

| thunderbird rear end swap | 14 Feb 2005 01:09 GMT | 3 |
A friend of mine wants me to help swap out the stock rear end on his '83 t-bird with the rear end out of an '87 turbo coupe. I guess he can get one for a good price and the 'new' rear end also has disc brakes. While I am confident in my abilities to do the swap, I was wondering ...

| Waveform on camshaft position sensor? | 13 Feb 2005 19:21 GMT | 5 |
98 Escort throws P0340 (camshaft position sensor) under certain specific conditions, fairly easy to reproduce. The CMP checkout procedure I've read on Autozone is very crude; it simply uses a DVM to verify that the average voltage increases as rpms increase. I want to

Was there ever an aftermarket in-dash CD player available for the '98 Escort/Tracer? My wife's car has the baseline radio-only, I've been looking for an upgrade on eBay but only see the cassette model.

| Code Scanner | 12 Feb 2005 21:42 GMT | 11 |
I'm thinking of buying a code scanner for home use on my Windstar and Honda CR-V. The last time I was in Auto Zone they would not re-set the 171/174 code on my Windstar (said a manager had been fired for doing it) and after a little troubleshooting I had to disconnect the battery ...

I recently picked up a nice '96 Crown Vic LX. I'm upgrading from a '94 Crown Vic base model and so far I'm very happy (except for the lack of radio antenna/reception, but that's another post). Anyway, my Crown Vic has just about every option except for automatic
