What are espoused values?

Asked by Wiki User

Espoused values are the values that an individual or organisation are committed to, in some way, but have not necessarily attained. They are usually not the same as the values demonstrated in actual behaviour, nor necessarily the same as the ones that are "professed", that is, acknowledged publicly.

How do you change the oil in 1997 Crown Victoria?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If this is the gasket I think it is, it is between the engine block and the oil filter, and has the lower radiator hose attached to it. First remove the air deflector from the underside of the vehicle, and remove the left front tire (unless you are fortunate enough to be working under a lift). You will need to drain the oil and some of the coolant unless you enjoy taking Prestone showers. Remove the oil filter, the adapter is attached to the block with four bolts. Remove those bolts, the gasket comes off with the adapter. Line up the new gasket, install, tighten the bolts, install new oil filter, refill the oil and coolant, reattach anything else you removed, and if you are lucky, you've fixed your leak.

How do you replace the speedometer cable on a 1989 Ford Crown Victoria?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Before you go any further, double-check to see if this car actually has a cable. 1989 Crown Vic and Marquis cars should still run a cable; 1990 started using an electronic vehicle speed sensor (VSS) in the transmission for speedometer - if this is the case, the problem will be an electrical one. Why does the cable need changing - is it broken? (Did the speedo stop operating?) The speedo cable is a cable-in-a-cable setup; there is a small diameter steel wire (called the core) inside a housing; it couples the drive gear in the trans to the gearing in the instrument cluster. To change it, you will need to remove the instrument cluster out of the dash, disconnect the speedo cable housing from the cluster and pull the section of core out by pulling and wiggling it. If it's broken, you'll see a sharp cut section of wire. The transmission end might be more difficult if you have to pull it as well; old style cables either have a big threaded collar or a clamp with a bolt or nut to hold it into the trans. (The whole length of the cable core should come out from the dash if it's not broken.) If you need to change the whole cable assembly, the trans end will need to be pulled off as above; the front section will pass through the firewall and up into the cluster. From experience on my '89 Grand Marquis, pulling a cable core is time-consuming and difficult; there is not a lot of room to work with. I would first find out from a Ford dealer how available replacements are; otherwise, the wrecker may be the only place to find them. If the cable core is in good condition, no signs of rust or seizure, then the speedometer head (in the cluster) or the drive gear (in the trans) may be at fault. Hope this helps.

How do you take out and install an ignition switch in a 1989 Ford Crown Victoria?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I am assuming your talking about the key w/tumbler and not the switch that is mounted on the column under the dash (wires attached). With this is mind you remove the cover around the bottom of column should be a few Philips head screws in the bottom (note there are deep holes you wont see them per say. Once you have done this and exposed the bottom place your key in the column and turn to run position there will be a pin hole under the key area depress this with a small punch or something similar and remove. If you have lost your key and this is why you are doing this job it just got a bit more tougher. you will need to carefully drill that pin out to remove the lock cylinder. Fords require the key to easily do this job. be very care not to destroy the soft aluminum around where pin is or you wont be able to hold the lock in place. .

How do you replace the ignition cylinder on a 1995 Ford Crown Victoria?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

you have to have a small chisel or a screw driver and a hammer to take off the two bolts that is holding down the key cylinder. those bolts does not have a head like ordinary bolts have. angle the chisel so that it would bite a little of the head. gently tap the chisel going counter clockwise. be careful on the chisel not to take the whole head of the bolt, because you will need them to put the new key cylinder back on. good luck.

How do you change a piston in 93 Crown Victoria?

Asked by Wiki User

Turn the key to the run position and push a long small diameter pin up through a hole located on the bottom side of the steering column to release the cylinder. Pull out the cylinder and replace. If you dont have a key, or it wont turn, I am afraid you are stuck drilling it out.

What happens when the neutral safety switch fails?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

By taking it off and testing it for resistance with a digital multimeter.

All the neutral safety switch does is ensure the vehicle will not crank with the key in any other gear position than neutral or park. If you need to start the vehicle before figuring this out, ensure the vehicle is in park (you should also put the parking brake on). Turn your wheels all the way to the left, and put your key in the ON/ACC position. Look under the hood, and you should see where the starter is (in front of the flywheel, typically on the right side of the vehicle). You'll see some posts coming out of the starter with wires attached to them. Use a cable - such as a starter cable or test lead - to apply power to the small post. Be careful to ensure that the cable, your clothing, or any of your body parts are clear of all moving objects before doing this. You can start the vehicle this way, and it will run so long as the key remains in the on position.

Where is the neutral safety switch on 1991 Nissan Sentra 1.6?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends on the transmission. If the car is a stick shift then the switch is at the back of the clutch peddle. Its a little plunger found just behind the top part of the peddle. If the car is an automatic then the switch is usually on the shifter. I'm not positive of this specific application though. You'll need to remove the shifter bezel off the console to access it...

Where is the starter located on a 1989 Ford Crown Victoria?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

My guess is that it is on right top side of trammy, but not shure, kinda dark right now, if wrong i will repost when light=) it is below the engine and has three bolts. Be carefull though I had an 87 escort back in 1990 and when I had to change the starter the bolts would not turn, eventually the head snapped right off - had a similar problem with a probe. The starter has a strong twisting force and it probably really jams the bolts in after years.

How do you replace the speedometer cable on a 1989 VW Jetta GL 1.8?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

first you remove the instrument cluster cover by taking out the headlight switch, rear defrost switch ect, take out all blank covers as well, use a Phillips screwdriver and remove all screws holding it on. take out the two screws holding the cluster to the dash. take out the five screws that hold the cover over the pedals in place. now reach up behind the cluster to the speedo cable, there will be a clip that as to be drepressed with your finger while you pull it back off the speedo guage. next you pop the hood and use a long Phillips head on a ratchet or a 13mm socket and remove the hold down bolt on the cable at the transmission. pull the gear head straight out and pull the other end through the firewall towards the front of the car. you will have to slacken the rubber boots at the firewall to do this. replacement is reverse.

Could be an electronic fuel pump failure. It is mounted inside the fuel tank. You have to drop the fuel tank to get to it. A: before you drop the tank check to see if the inertia relay was tripped , in my 88 crown it was located on trunk lid support on drivers side . looked like a little box with a metal slider sticking out one side (yours might vary) if you find this and still no help then see above

Are crowns necessary?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That all depends. A crown is to replace the function of the tooth, given that it's normal anatomy and functionhas been compromised. Crowns on front teeth (centrals) are generally not a good idea unless there is not enough of the tooth left to support a veneer. Veneers are much less invasive. A small (only micromillimeters) amount of the surface of the tooth is taken off, and then etched. A veneer is a 3/4 'cover' (think of acrylic nails) that is put on the front surface of the damaged tooth, and then 'light cured' to become permanent. It looks totally natural, and unlike a full crown, most of your natural tooth remains intact. Crowns are usuallynecessary for molars and bi-cuspids-anywhere a strong chewing surface is necessary. Sometimes Bi-cuspids can function just fine with a tooth colored filling Just don't chew ice on it- I don't even think they do crowns on front teeth anymore, unless there has been a serious injury or accident to the front teeth. Explore all options. Depends like I say, on what tooth it is, how much caries (decay) has destroyed the tooth, how many surfaces are involved (buccal, occlusal, Mesial, lingual or labial, or distal). And, even if down the road the crowned tooth needs a root canal, it is possible to drill through the crown to do the root canal, and then when the root canal is finished, a small tooth colored filling can be placed in the hole (occlusal surface of the crown)that was made to gain access to the root canals (Pulp chamber(s). Hope this helps! TM
