Will my headlights turn off automatically after several minutes if I
accidently leave them on? This is in the normal headlamp (On)
position, not Autolamp. My manual says the Escape has a "battery
saver" feature for the interior lights and Autolamp, but nothing about

I just bought a 2001 Lincoln Town Car.  The car is in great shape
except for one thing.
The seat cushion on the back seat is not attached at all - it slides
right out.

With only 88 hp, I wanted to see how fast it would go.    (Like who
doesn't do this?)    About 3:00 am.    Early summer in New England.

Japan currently leads. Yet the demise of the auto industry (sales in
the U.S., still the world’s largest market by revenue, have been
halved in the last year) is another …

I just picked up a 93 Escort GT and I am trying to find which computer
it has on board.  Could someone please tell me if it's an EEC-IV, an
EEC-V, OBD-I, or OBD-II?

I live in a rural area in TX.  A road, which route is the only way to town
from my house, was recently repaved.  I had no choice but to drive on it

said it was a defective filler tube and gas cap. They found this with
a smoke test. Paid $285.00 for the repair and the check engine light
came on again. Anyone know what else it could be? By the way, where is

Has anyone invested in Ford (Ticker:F) lately? I got in at 6.35. Is at 7.70

I'm considering buying a 2001 Lincoln Town Car, from a private
seller.  Old guy died, kid is selling the car.
Car looks great, low mileage, etc.
Problem is, they have only one set of keys.  Kid doesn't know where

Several months ago, Helfman Ford "reconditioned" the battery
in my 05 Expy.  Since then the steering wheel controls have
intermittent failures, they sometimes work, they sometimes
dont.  For instance, pushing the vent fan speed rocker down

Ok,
1995 GT 5.0, 163k miles, 5 speed, my dad's. A couple of weeks ago he called
me and said he heard a "pop" and now she sounds like a foghorn and idles at
2k. Did some research, indicated a bad IAC. We replaced it and the foghorn

I have a 1999 Escort, American-spec base model with an automatic
transmission.  Recently the speedometer became intermittent and then
