Ford E-series vans have a pigtail in the wire harness tucked beneath the drip rail

in the engine compartment. There's a marked speed wire there - grey/black, 8000ppm.

For a 1997 Ford E-350 , 7.3 L turbo Diesel V8 engine :

( According to the AutoZone website )

With engine oil filter change :

( 13.9 U.S. quarts )

In my 98 E350 6.8 it is under the dash.

you have to pull the dash off to change it

Yes but you have to drill the 4th hole for the stud and use a hole saw to make a hole to access the nut I also think you have to use a fender washer on one of the studs

I am trying to find the gross weight also. It should be around 9.0 tonnes. Can any one help me. There is no tag on the vehicle that was imported from the USA. gvic8499@bigpond.net.au

You should have programming instruction in the user manual.

NOTE: You don't have instructions in the manual. I have heard that only dealers can program the 99 models. Here are two procedures (one is for the 2000, which I have, and I know it works, the other is supposed to be a GM secret for the 99s, hope it helps you)

For the 99:

Transmitter Programming:

1)With the driver door closed, hold down the power unlock button on the door panel.

2)Turn the ignition switch to the ON position

3)Turn the

ignition switch to the OFF position

4)Turn the

ignition switch to the ON position

5)Turn the

ignition switch to the OFF position

6)Release the power unlock button on

the door panel.

The

remote control door lock receiver will respond in the following manner in order to indicate that the receiver is in the programming mode:

6.1)Locking the doors

6.2)Unlocking the doors

IMPORTANT:

All extra transmitters must be programmed at this time. When a new transmitter is programmed it will deactivate the old transmitters.

7)Hold down the lock and unlock buttons on the transmitter until the

remote control door lock receiver will respond in the following manner:

7.1)Locking the doors

7.2)Unlocking the doors

Repeat step 7 for each additional transmitter

9) Turn the

ignition switch to the ON position in order to exit the transmitter programming mode.

For the 2000:

Get in, close the doors. While holding the unlock button down on the door, quickly and fully insert the key (don't turn it!) remove it, insert it, remove it, insert it. Keep it in the ignition, again don't turn it. Release the unlock button. You will here three chimes. Hold the lock/unlock buttons on your remote simultaneously until you hear three chimes again. Remove the key or start the car, and your'e good to go.

If you turn the key at any time, remove it, open and close the doors, and start over. This literally takes 10 seconds to complete.

The dipstick if you are looking at the engine is on the left side of the valve cover approximately halfway form the front and back. It is located where the cover meets the engine block. The yellow plastic grab loop may be broken off, making it hard to identify the dipstick.

That was exactly where it was on my 1997 Sidekick and it also had been broken off making it difficult to find.

It looked like it was a place to connect for a thermostat or something but no it was the dipstick.

Traction is a loose term describing the amount of friction an item has. Friction is a type of force.

A rear brake diagram for this vehicle can be found in the cars maintenance manual and repair manual. Those can be bought at a local auto part store.

One type of freon that you can use on a 1990 Ford Econoline is Four Seasons R12 Refrigerant Oil. The canisters cost close to $10 each.

Should be a plug on the side of the transmission about 1/2 up- fill to this point

underneath the hood, in the engine compartment you'll find the the fuse block, containing all the car's fuses and some relays...I believe its located in the left side near the fire wall. There is a big plastic cover, held in place by a flop clasp. That clear plastic cover shows what each fuse and relay are for. If your car doesn't have one of these covers, I suggest you get one immediately, otheriwise there will be a corrosion problem. I hope this answers your question DM

You should have your ECM changed so that you are not using too much gas. If you don't switch out your ECM your car will get worse and drink more gas.

Fuse 12 - a 15V.

I have a 150 wagon. Couldn't find the listing in the owner's manual, but I have an OEM shop manual and it listed fuse # 12 as the backup lights.

If spark plugs didn't help also check or replace the TPS. "Throttle position sensor"

Let it idle for over one minute in Park without a/c on.

Let it idle for over one minute in Drive with brake pedal depressed.

Let it idle for over one minute in Drive with brakes pedal depressed and a/c on.

Drain, remove upper/lower hoses, fan & shroud. Remove top mount plate (if applicable) Lift straight up.

You may have a bad starter solenoid. You did not say what type of van this is; location can vary. Check power to the keyswitch. If there's power IN, be suspicious of the keyswitch itself. you may also want to check yhe neutral safety switch. if you play with the shifter move it up and down and when you put it on park again the van turns on you have found your problem.also try putting your vehicle in neutral check if it works. when neutral safety switch is bad the symptoms would be, nothing happens when the key is turn.. this is the same symptom for the starter relay problem. try a headlight start test. turn on your headlights, try turning your vehicle on if the lights stay bright you may have an open in the starting system. if the lights dim you may have a shorted starter solenoid or a bad ground.

buy the manuel or ask a good knowledgeable friend or shop

Check the gas cap there is a possibility that the vent is clogged and causing a vapor lock.
