Ford Escort LX

The ignition switch is in the steering column..that's where you insert the key to start the vehicle.

with a punch and a hammer

An Escort water pump is located under the timing cover and is driven by the timing belt. Jack up the right front corner of the vehicle, remove the following: RF wheel, front motor mount, serpentine belt, belt tensioner crankshaft pulley, timing cover, and timing belt, to gain access to and replace the water pump. It is recommennded that you install a new timing belt when you replace the water pump.

It is suppose to just pull out. It is like a plug with an O ring about 5 mm below the ridge that sits on top of the engine, and the "plug body" is about an inch deep. I have a manual transmission. I went to a junk yard and took out an intact speedometer. It came out somewhat easily by yanking on it. When I tried it on my speedometer (only one of the tabs broken) I needed to remove the cable, electrical sensor, bolt (of course) and the tab. Then I had to pull like crazy, pry it with a screwdriver (doesn't affect the seal), and wiggle it a lot. I found it went in and out easier after CAREFULLY cleaning around and in the fill hole (btw that is where you fill your transmission fluid in a manual) and I aligned the flat part opposite of the bolt hole. i suspect it doesn't matter what way you align it, but that is what worked for me.

sounds as if your drain hose is blocked. I had a similar problem many years ago when the heater of my Renault 16 got full of rainwater. Every time I turned a corner it sounded like a washing machine as the fan thrashed the water about in the heater inlet duct. I solved it by poking a piece of wire up through the drain hose (you would have to locate it on your particular car, of course). A load of water came gushing out and it never did it again. (A free mend is always good news!) Good luck That is the answer. I had the exact problem on the exact same model--to find the plug, open the hood and look on the back "wall" of the engine compartment--a little to the left--it is down behind the shiny silver insulation--there is a small flap that you can lift--then poke in there to pull the plug out and let it drain out. it is a cinch.

It is possible to drive with a bad power steering pump. However, this is not a good idea because the wheel won't turn as it should.

No!

according to ADP Hollander, SATURN S SERIES 00-02 (1.9L, 4-116), SOHC (VIN 8). so 2000, 2001, and 2002 used the same single overhead cam motor.

check to make sure there isn't a lock accessory hidden around the steering wheel. some cars have a button that has to be pressed to be able to set the key to the lock position. sometimes, it is on top, sometimes on the underneath. then, the key should come out.

you will see two holes in each side of the radio, insert standard radio pins in here and the radio will pull out

The dash must be completely removed in order to gain access to the heater box. Then the heater hoses are disconnected and the heater box is removed and opened up. That gains access to the heater core for relacement.

what year corvette? try searching the forums at www.corvetteforum.com - they have TONS of answers

Driverside Valve cover I believe. In the back of it. I'm not sure about that year, but I think the Haynes manual said something about having to remove and replace an entire assembly, not just the pcv, to replace it. Sounds pretty dumb huh?

The PCV valve is at the back of the engine right on top right under where all your vacuum hoses connect. I replaced mine a while back and it was just a small plastic piece with a vacuum hose connected to it. It was really simple and took less than 5 minutes.

Behind engine underneath intake plenum. See other wikianswer on the process of replacing the starter in the 1993 escort (same as 1995).

you have to jack the car up. its on the side of the motor that faces the firewall. looking from under the car it will be on the drivers side of the engine. i believe its held in by 3 bolts.... or 2. be careful to disconnect the battery first or you might get some sparks taking it out.

It would be a good idea to get a Haynes repair manual at your local parts place for $20. It will pay for itself the first time you do anything. There are 27 steps to R and R the timing belt. btw your engine is a non-interference engine which means that when the belt breaks your engine doesn't get any damage. So get a manual and do it yourself.

The red button turns on the fuel pump when it is pushed on a Ford Escort.

Okay, to change the rear speakers, push those buttons on the top of the seats. They're at either end. Pull the seat forward. Next, there are three retainers holding the cover down. Use either your nails or something thin and pry up the center circle of the retainer. Then grab on to the retainer and pull out. Keep in mind that it will hurt to pull it out but if you use pliers you run the risk of breaking them, so man up. Once all the retainers have been pulled out. Now, pull back the end of the cushions and pop out the cover. After this just unplug, unscrew and change the speakers. Remember that you really should unplug the battery first, just to be safe. Now, the front speakers are a bit trickier. Get a rag or something similar, it must be thin. If you've got manual windows, get the rag and put it in the handle like so. Rag goes --> o====0 <- this end is connected to the door. Push the rag in until you push out a "U" looking pin. Pull out the handle. Pull out all of the retainers, unscrew all of the screws, there's one inside the cup thing, and one on the door handle. Now just pull the trim panel up and towards the back. Change the speaker and bam, you're done. If you've got power windows, I think all you need to do is unscrew the screws and remove the retainers. Please keep in mind that you really should unplug the battery first. I cannot be held responsible if you mess up anything at all.
