Could the ignition switch cause the blinkers and heater ac fan not to work at the same time on a 91 ford tempo?

I have heard this problem related to my sons 2000 Monte Carlo. I'm about to change his ignition switch. I tried the resistor, tested the fan, even changed out the whole climate control unit!


What the problem is when your Mazda mx3 stays running even if you switch off the ignition and how to fix it?

AnswerCould be a bad ignition switch. or Timing is off. This is known as dieseling. The car runs off combustion and burned gases still in the cylinder even if the ignition is off. Make sure marks are lined up on the camshafts and crankshaft. mostly likely have to remove the valve cover to check timing. Even though its a chain timing can still skip a mark. Another thing to do is make sure the piston is on top dead center and the dist. is firing on the number 1 cylinder.also try Removing the spark plug on number 1 and have someone turn it over as you watch for a spark.


Ford Ranger 2001 4-cylinder sometimes won't start battery alternator wires wires to battery and starter are good?

Will it even crank? If it won't, you have an ignition switch or lock cylinder going bad. If it does crank, just not running, then check to make sure fuel pressure is good and that the ignition coil is good. When exactly will it not start?


Why would the starter keep on trying to start the car even though the key isn't turned or even in on a 1993 NA Supra?

A 1987 Ford Crown Victoria's engine stays running even when the ignition is off. What does this mean?

If you mean it ( diesel's ) then eventually shuts off, then this is due to low grade fuel as to where the timing is set on the engine. Two options, change to higher grade fuel, or have timing checked or lowered. In either case, this is not good for the engine.

Are aftermarket tail lights available for the Ford Probe?

If your looking for a replacement then either go to a scrap yard or check our SEL-IMPERIAL. Or if you are looking for a modded version check out the American Ebay site. I've looked everywhere and everone tells me that nobody makes an aftermarket tail light for the probe. Look it up on different sites, you'll see that there isn't even a section for the probe under tail lights.
