Ford Escape XLS

If your expedition is a 4wd have the front CV joints checked. The 4WD models have auto 4WD that sometimes lock into position and don't unlock ~ even when you don't 4WD. This have very negative effects on the front wheels when turning (especially at lower speeds on 4WD high).

I don't know the exact reason it is bumpy, but here is a solution. Try to find a rubber spring to replace the shock at the end of the leaf springs. There is one in the Truckin magazine, this will also improve your stability.

is there any formation of aquaregia inside a vehicle muffler..? any answers..!!

I assume you mean from the tail pipe. Water is a bi-product of combustion & is expelled with the exhaust. -LubeExpert

The purpose of a oxygen sensor is to monitor emissions.

it does this by detecting the air fuel ratio if to much air it Will tell computer to add more fuel if to much fuel it will tell computer to add more air

will help slightly with performance major with MPG and who cares about emissions right?

The engine should be hot and idling in park.

No, corrosion will not cause a battery to drain, even if the corrosion is on the terminals. Several factors can cause battery drain, I would first have the battery tested to see if the battery it self is not bad. If the battery is good, then the most common is a short. All most all new cars have a certain amount of drain,(measured in milivolts) this drain is for clocks and computer memory's, and it would take several days of a vehicle sitting for the battery to be drained. Don't immediately assume you have a problem if you see 2-6 milivolts of drain on a battery with the key out, now if your battery is being drained after being parked over night, you have a problem. The easiest way to pin down the problem short is to disconnect your positive battery cable from the battery, take a 12 volt test light and clamp one end to the positive cable, and hold the probe to the positive post. Now if you have a short the light will come on. Have someone help you by pulling the fuses one at a time. If when a fuse is pulled the light goes out you have isolated the short to that system. If you pulled all the fuses and the light never went out try disconnecting all the wires from the alternator, 9 times outta 10 do this will let you know where your short is. If the system is not critical like power locks some people just leave the fuse out.

You must pull the drain plug on the bottom back side of the unit then remove the plastic cover on the left front side of the vehicle then you have access to the pan the one on the side of the unit after removing the pan you now can remove the filter

The 2002 Ford Escape has a 8 ft. 7.1 in. (103.1 in.) wheel base.

It's screwed into the actual engine head just under where the intake manifold ataches. If you're looking down at the top of the engine from the front of the car with the hood up, it's going to be on the backside of the engine.

Jack the front end of the car up and put jack stands under for backup support just in case (always do this when jacking up *any* vehichle).

Take off the *passenger side* tire/wheel and remove the mud cover panel on the right side under tire well area.

Then take off the engine's serpentine belt and alternator, (taking off the alternator is a bit tricky, but you can find a how-to video on Youtube by searching "2001 ford escape 4 cylinder alternator removal").

If you have a Haynes manual for Ford Escapes/Mazda Tributes it will best tell you the location of the CHT (Cylinder head temperature) sensor with pictures and everything. But you have to do the actual taking off work blind, because the sensor screws into the engine head from the back and is a little recessed making it out of sight from above (which is the best place to work from when taking it out).

The screw head of the sensor is a 15mm. I tried a wrench and couldn't get it off due to little to none maneuvering space for a wrench.

So, (*being very sure the sensor was bad and having the new one on hand*) I cut the wire between the sensor and it's harness end and used a deep well 15mm socket on a 3/8 ratchet and took the sensor off. Still trying to figure out myself how to get the new one on, though.

The only way to clear any emission code on an OBD II vehicle is with a scanner. Disconnecting the battery won't do it. An OBD II vehicle is any vehicle sold new in the US after 1996.

I'm no expert, but the info I have forund says 5x114.3.

Could be an ignition coil breaking down at high revs. or the points gap could also be closing at high rev. due to points bouncing..set the dwell at the higher rating Andy

The EGR valve should be located towards the rear and center of the engine. Just remove the hoses and unbolt from the engine. Looks like a flying saucer or dashpot design

This can be caused by an exaust leak close to to your engine. Breathing exaust fumes can be harmful, get this checked out by a machanic.

Just unscrew the 2 philip-head screws that you see holding the light when you open the hatch. The other side of the light is just clipped in place and just needs to be carefully pulled out.

The coolant temperature sensor in a 2004 Ford Escape V6 is located near the front of the motor. It is down low near the water pump and in front of the oil filter.

The 2012 Ford Escape has a 5-speed manual.

It is inside the owners manual.
