Ford Escape XLT

No. Just reconnect the battery and let the car idle for 5-10 minutes and then start driving the car. The car will relearn your driving habits after a week or two. . . .

The kind in a can.

Best solution would be to replace the O2 or oxygen sensor first to see if this eliminates your problem. If not, replace your front catalytic converter and oxygen sensor.

Forgot to mention, this is done without your vehicle requiring a basic tuneup (spark plugs, oil change and maybe spark wires, etc.).

It most certainly will and not in a good way. This is not a swap that is recommended. First off the 225/75-16 tire will be 2.36 " smaller in overall diameter than the 265/75-16 tire. This is a 7.46% difference. It is never wise to go over 3% difference. Your speedometer will read 64.8 at a true 60 mph. Your engine will turn an extra 53 rpms per mile causing you to use more fuel. You ride, handling, and stopping distance will also be effected negatively. The bottom line is that this is a very bad idea. Stick with the OEM size that the engineers designed for your truck.

The curb weight of the 2007 Ford Escape is 3176 lbs..

remove the coil pack; use a jointed extension with sparkplug socket to reach plugs.

Left side of transmission remove wheel and plastic guard it will be on the upper left at approx 2o'clock

Open the hatchback and there are 2 phillps head screws. Remove those and the entire taillight comes off as an assembly. You can then acess all the light bulbs.

Code 301 is cylinder # 1 misfire. You don't need to keep replacing coil packs until you find out why they are going bad. Now if you are buying these coils at a parts store that sells inferior foreign made parts, "can't say the name", then this may very well be the problem. If you know this is not the case, then take this to a technician that can see why they are going bad. The coils are going bad for a reason. Find that reason and problem solved.

9MM for the 2 bolts on each of the 2 front end calipers. You might be able to use 11/32 if you dont have metric tools. You also wont be able to find anywhere that carrys 9mm, good luck.

All Wheel Drive

Rev limiter?
Bad fuel filter?
Bad air filter?
Clogged catalytic converter?

The 2001 Toyota 4Runner has rear wheel drive.

The 2012 Ford Escape runs on regular unleaded.

The 2005 Volkswagen Jetta has front wheel drive.

.028" is what most race shops go with.

Loosen hub nut and lug nuts, jack up car, remove tire, unhook tie rod, remove brake caliper,remove hub nut, remove two bolts (7/8" hex head) holding strut assembly to steering knuckle, disconnect ball joint from steering knuckle, remove the axle end from the hub, and now everything should be out of the way, I think. Now, remove the bolt at the bottom of the bracket holding the bearing. Now, remove the retaining ring that holds the bearing in the bracket. The axle is supposed to just pop out of the transmission but that ain't happening very easily. There is a bearing on the axle shaft that sits in a housing bracket. The bearing is aluminum lined, I think, and the bracket is steel and they can be fused together and be a pain to get apart. Take two pry bars and try to pry the axle out by prying behind the metal thing behind the inner rubber boot and against the bearing bracket. If it still won't come out then try taking a big hammer or better yet, a small sledge hammer and beat the crap out of it until it comes out of the transmission. I've done three of these in two months and two came out reasonably easily and one was a thoroughbred pain in the butt!! It was stuck at the bearing and would not come loose no matter what I did. I finally had to take off the bracket holding the bearing and beat the bracket off the bearing with a sledge hammer while in a vise on the work bench. It is a bear (to say the least) getting that bracket off so pray that axle eventually comes out with a few hits of the mini sledge!!! Clean the bracket with steel wool and cover with anti-seize. Align the new axle, aligning the splines on the end of the axle with the inside of the tranny. Take a piece of wood and cover the end of the axle and GENTLY tap on the end of the axle till it pops into the tranny. Now put it all back together and you're done. Piece of cake! Huh?!

Answer

This is well detailed and illustrated in the Owners Manual - See "Related Questions" below for more

The 2005 Ford Focus has front wheel drive.

According to the 2004 Ford Escape Owner Guide ( 5W-20 )

With engine oil filter change

The 2.0 liter four cylinder engine takes ( 4.5 U.S. quarts of 5W-20 engine oil )

The 3.0 liter " Duratec " V6 engine takes ( 5.5 U.S. quarts of 5W-20 engine oil )

so we can see and have light

0.28" is the gap. My mistake, the gap is actually 0.028"

Real easy. The Cigarette lighter fuse is located in the main fuse panel.
The main fuse panel is located inside the Celica on the passenger side, lower left area of the center console.
There is an odd oval shaped panel which you removed by just pulling to the rear.
On the rear of this panel is a guide that will give you the exact location of the lighter fuse as well as all the main interior and lighting control fuses.
