Am working on a 2000 Ford Windstar.
When accelerating from a stop, there is a hesitation
before RPM picks up.  What causes such a hesitation?

The power steering in my 2000 Ford Windstar started growling when
turning. The resovoir is at the full line. Any hints as to why it is
doing this?
Thanx

I got to thinking about flathead valve/port design the other day and
investigated on the net.
Flathead intake and exhaust ports are cast into the block. Intake is
relatively simple. Exhaust ports ran from above the cyl., around

I have a 2000 Ford Excursion Limited with heated leather buckets in front.
The passenger side works great, but the drivers side does not work at all.
The light comes on at the button on the side of the seat but no heat.  Any
ideas?  Thanks in advance!!

This is an odd one -
My Mother has a 9 year old Ranger that she uses around our farm. It is no
longer an everyday truck, and is driven only 20 or 30 miles a week. Recently
the radio stopped consistently turning off when the ignition is switched

I have a problem with my 1993 Ford Ranger. It stated about a week ago,
the engine would idle at a very high RPM (3000 or so), but it would
only do it sometimes. Also the engine would rev up to 3 or 4 thousand
RPM sometimes when i pushed in the clutch to change gears. Sometimes

I have been looking at some mid to late 80's F150's and F250's. The ones
that had manual transmissions were all 4 speeds where first gear is a
"granny gear". Is this normal? I would think that most of the transmission
would be geared more like a car and not have the granny gear.

I was wondering if the Fusion with 4 cylinder has enough power. The
mpg is better that the V6 but I fear that it maybe underpowered.   The
manual 5 speed may compensate for it.  I'm not looking for a race car
just something that holds it's own on the interstate.  Any Comments?

The heated rear window on our Galaxy MPV stopped working, so we got the
local glass company to check it out.  The guy put a voltmeter across the
contacts on the lead at the window, and there was no voltage across them.
We asked a mechanic to take a look, and he did but can't find ...

On start-up it reads 1500RPM on tachometer, takes a little while before it
comes down to 900RPM.Any ideas for a fix?

Before me, I have a very toasty and well used C6 behind a code H 390.
I want to do a good build on the C6, and have been wondering what
peoples' experience has been at using an AOD (or equivalent) front
gear set in a C6 to give a 2.78 first vis à vis 2.46.  I understand
