2002 ford taurus where is the orifice tube located
This is the escort page not the Taurus page.
If it has a rear orifice it's in the rear unit under the roof panel.
It is located in the liquid line or tube between the condenser and evaporator.
How do you change the orifice tube on 1997 grand Cherokee jeep with 5.2 v/8
You tube
Orifice tube on f150 with 4.2
It does not have an orifice tube.
it is built into the liquid line (high side)going to condenser.from fire wall it is a nylon and aluminum hose assy.
It is located in the line between the High side service port and the evaporator in front of the alternator. It's hidden under the foam pipe insulation. Taurus/Sable Liquid Line and Orifice Tube The orifice tubes on 2000 to 2007 Ford Taurus and 2000 to 2005 Mercury Sable can be changed. At first glance, the liquid line looks like one long hose. But unlike the liquid lines of the '80s and '90s, this hose has a fitting in the middle. The orifice tube is located at this fitting. To replace the orifice tube, remove the washer and overflow bottle. The high side service port is on a pipe about eight inches long to make it easier for service. The fitting and orifice tube are near this pipe. The fitting is covered with a protective rubber cover. The cover makes it hard to see the fitting and that the orifice tube is replaceable. Push the cover back. Disconnect the fitting. Replace the orifice tube. Lubricate the new o-ring (# 24608), and torque the fitting to 18 lb-ft.
It is plugged directly into the orifice on the 94 model. I would expect it to be the same on all year models unless it has fallen out or something.
It uses an expansion valve, not an orifice tube.
