Just curious of the Sho owners how many miles they have and year as long as
it is runnung. I have a 94 with 162k on it. Just curious how long these
engines will last.
I love my car. For a 4 door Ford it amazes me even with todays new cars.

I got a chance to get a 97 taurus with a 3.0 vulcan for cheap.
its blowing compression back out the water bottle.
Car was well maintained and there is no water in the oil.
I am assuming at least the head gasket(s) are out.

Are the 3.0L head bolts in a 3.0L ford vulcan
torque to yield like they are in a duratec?
If they are, how do you do this with a regular torque
wrench tool with no angle meter on it?

I'm considering a '07 Fusion, 4 cyl. 5 speed manual,   currently drive
'03 Olds Alero V6 automatic.  The Olds has plenty of pickup and decent
gas mileage (26-27 mpg) for the driving I do.  Would like to get a
Fusion but wouldn't like to get mpgs so the 4 maybe the way to go but

my 97 contour is running very hot. more so when the a/c is on in city
driving. It just slowly gets hotter and hotter. when the guage is 3/4 over
to the right I turn the heater on and cool it down. Ive changed the
thermostat and the tensioner was recently changed. the high speed ...

Any advice/opinions on a 2002 Ford Thunderbird?

The engine boils up, but I get no temperature warning light and the radiator
fan does not run.  Checked the temperature sensor and it reads about 50
kohms cold, going down to about 5 kohms in near-boiling water from a
kettle - does that seem about right?  I would suspect the fan ...

My wife's 93 wagon got hit slightly in the front passenger side just in
front and across the front tire. It bent the inner tie rod end, then it
drove for awhile then broke. i replaced it. the wheel is canted slightly
in at the top (negative camber). It does not appear the strut ...

Last week my cruise quit.  I had been using it, disengaged it for an exit
ramp, then it wouldn't reengage.  I have been working thru the pinpoint test
process in the shop manual but so far have found nothing odd.  I swapped the
VSS because it tested out of range even tho the ...

I thought I had some belt noise or a bad water pump bearing but the
squeak, a nice rhythmic chirp that is based on engine rpm, is coming
from the top of the engine near the throttle body or under the intake
manifold.

Hello, I am having the same problem with 93 ford festiva. I have been
working on this for weeks now. I have replaced the distributor, the
coil, the ignition module, and the ECM and still no luck. Have you
found anything? I would love to hear any ideas. I have gone through

I expect I'll feel a bit foolish when the obvious answer is provided,
but I have to ask:
Would someone please advise me as to how to set the date on my 2008
Escape Hybrid? The car has the factory nav package and audio package.

One Ford / Autolite 4100 Carburetor for sale ... has model number C1AE-
AH and tag number LSA-1TA-R. From what I've found out it goes into a
1961 Thunderbird. It was sitting around in a box marked "rebuilt
carburetors" in my late uncle's garage and is in fair condition --

I need to clean the Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor in my 1998 Ford Taurus.
I have never done this before and do not have any experience with
fixing cars. However, I want to give it a try as I read it isn't that
hard to do. I read some articles on the internet that describe how
