The 96 T-bird has had a check engine light on for some time, I was told
years.  Is there a way to get the code without plugging in a code reader?  I
could do it on a 95 GMC, but I dont think I can do it without a code reader.
True or False?

I own an 88 taurus that when you start it you have to turn the key
back just a touch to make it charge and make the turn signals and
blower motor work.  My cousin has an 87 that does the same thing but
recently turning the key back doesnt make anything work either.

My brother pulled up to a red light and it just died. He said that he
didn't even know that was dead until he went to take off and it went
nowere. He turned turned the engine off and tried to start it and nothing.

Hi....I have a 2006 FReestyle with factory radio/cd unit.  The radio
signal quality is awful....lots of static and signal loss at various
locations around town.....reminiscent of a mal connected

Pulled the pump module out of my 2000 Contour. Looked at it a long time
trying to figure out what's happening. Somehow the fuel in the tub where the
fuel pump is, has to be at a higher level than the in tank when it's low.

Odd problem. It appears that occaisionally the rear brake lights stay
