Why would your engine race while in neutral?

AnswerVacuum leak. Sensor going bad that will make a fuel adjustment that in not needed. It tells the computer to add fuel, when the computer does, other sensors say that there is too much fuel and tell the computer to back off, thus the idle fluctuation. AnswerCould be insufficent free play in your throttle cable or a binding throttle cable. Answerif you have a carb, it could have been adjusted wrong, i need mine adjusted since the engine is new...usually needs to be retuned with new exhause, engine parts, and eveyrthing related to that.

Another Answer: The "AIS" (Automatic Idle control) is a step motor controlling a valve that bypasses the throttle valve or Throttle Body butterfly. At some point in time, the valve starts to fail and do not work properly, causing erratic or high idle speeds. Sometimes it can be cleaned, but frequently signals a worn mechanism and it is better to replace it, it should not be expensive. But check that one before purchasing the replacement.

What may cause a clicking noise from the engine of a 1997 Isuzu Rodeo with a 130K miles on it?

Answer

Hey Michelle==My son had a rodeo and the lifters which are incorperated in the rocker arms would make noise every so often. He would get some GUNK engine flush and follow directions and it would stay gone for another good while. He changed his oil every 3000 miles. And changed the timing belt every 60,000 miles He sold it with 225000 miles and had no major engine repairs. Goodluck Joe



There's a good chance one of the lifters (tappets) has failed. They use oil to build pressure in the houseing to hold up against the spring pressure. If one fails then the push rod will gain some slack and will bang against the rocker arm as it moves up and down. Sounds like you need a bit of top end work done on the engine. You can do this yourself, just get a repair manual and follow the instructions.

Do new rotors need to be machined before use?

No just put them on. If they were bad they could be sued for a defective product.

Where is the temperature control cable located in a nintyseven ford escort?

Behind kick pannel alongside gas pedal. Remove push pins by prying up center head of pin and the pin will come out. The back of the pannel has a plastic finger that just seems to sit behind a sheet metal capture point. Dont pry that out or you will break off hte finger. How you get hte cable loose is a mystery to me. All I see so far is pull down on the "tab" and the cable will be released. I see no tabs and cable enters a plastic shroud around damper operator. Let me know if you get it loose please.

How to line up timing marks when changing timing belt on Ford Laser tx3 turbo 4WD dohc 1987 model?

The 2 cam cogs have 'I' and 'E' stamped on them. To set the cam timing, the left cog has the 'I' lined up with the pointer on the back plate. The right cog has the 'E' lined up with the pointer on the back plate. The crankshaft cog has a timing mark that lines up with a pointer on the back plate. Make sure when you turn the crankshaft to set it up that it will not hit any valves . (plugs out, GENTLY)

Mark the belt if it is to be re-used to make sure it is in the same rotation when fitted. Don't put any pressure on the tensioner other than the spring tension.

If the belt deflection measured between the two cam cogs is not 8.5 mm to 11.5 mm at about 22lb pressure, then replace the spring.

Rotate the crank through 2 revolutions and check timing.

What would cause a 1997 Ford Escort to run rough when idling?

The most common cause of rough idling would be a bad or clogged fuel injector. Also look for the hose on your EGR valve. They tend to come off in hot weather. If the hose comes off the engine will definitely run rough. I had to put a small hose clamp on mine to keep it from comming off.

When airbag light comes on is the bag supposed to be deployed?

No. It means there is something wrong with it and that it will NOT deploy in an accident. There is no way it will deploy with the air bag light on, when I say deploy I mean it won't go off accidentally.
