Hi, I have an 89' Econoline E150 with a 5.0L V8. I took this off the road
sometime back and would start it up every now and then just to let the
engine run. Sometime during this period something happened and now the van
won't keep idle. It'll start and run so long as you give it ...

Daughter called for help.   Increased idle started suddenly, not
dropping engine speed at stop light.  If left without brake, will
reach about 20 mph.   Stayed same when started after parked overnight.
No help spraying linkage.   When I see it later this week, will check

My '95 with 91000 miles started shifting hard into 2nd for two days.
Last night it didn't want to shift into second at all.  It would stay in
1st until I got going faster.  When I then backed off the throttle,  it

I just got a 2 inch circular rock crack in the lower center of my 5
month old 2005 Expedition EB.  I do not have to replace it but I
am thinking about it.  Is that funky radio antenna on the inside very
difficult to get replaced correctly ?   BTW, I did try to get the

How do I go about removing the headlight housing assembly on my '0

I have a 1998 U.K. model mondeo.  The heater control knobs are no longer
illuminated, so I guess that the bulbs have blown.  I have removed the knobs
but cannot find how to replace the bulbs.  Anybody know where they are and
how I can access them also what type size?

If the plug is coated with oil (not gas) then you may have a problem with the rinngs on the piston, or the piston itself,  Tale a panel light and look into the cylinder to see the top of the piston.  Turn the engine so that the piston is at the bottom, and you will also be able ...

I checked for spark and have spark. What do I check for next & How.

I have 94 Escort LX 1.9
While comming off the free way my car started missing. My friend and
compression tested it and there was 0 compression on the 4th cylinder

Installing the pressure and return lines to a new PS rack, I find the
pipes inside the fittings are loose - not can-position loose but
gonna-leak loose.  I've seen some posts that say I need to get new
hoses with new fittings to cure this and some that say replacing the
