My '97 GM (190k miles) is cackling so badly in hot weather I'm almost

airbox.  I found it under the airbox, and it looked kind of beat up.

I have a '98 Taurus 24 value DOHC with 100K miles. Changed plugs a month ago

the sender last night and now the temp gauge doesnt work at all so i

I give up!  Can't find the radiator drain on my 99 taurus 3.0 OHV.
I wonder if the lower front cowel must be removed to access the drain cock.

I have a 2000 Mercury Mystique comes up on the OBD II code p0420 Catalyst

The car seems to shift "hard" when going between gears (it's an
automatic). Regardless of speed the car seems to "jump" into the next
gear. I had the idle speed lowered as it was "jumping" when moving

My service Engine Soon indicator came on in my 1998 Ford Escort.   Auto Zone
said it was 442.  This happened about 3 week ago at which time Auto Zone
