Where is the PVC value on a 1994 madza b4000 40?

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.

How do you replace a timing belt on a 1994 ford escort 1.9L after the timing belt breaks?

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.

How do you change the speakers on a 1998 Ford Escort LX?

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.

How do you replace clutch on 1995 ford escort wagon manual?

Pre 1997/9 models of Ford Vehicles were self-adjusting via the clutch-foot-pedal. The pedal engages a ratchet system called the QUADRANT & PAWL and is part of the pedal. The mechanism is very similar on older Ford models of: Escort, Fiesta, Sierra, Granada, Transit & others. Newer vehicles may have a Hydraulic Clutch from 1997/9 onwards, and these work differently from the cable & pully mechanism. Clutch-fluid can be bled to improve the ability to operate the clutch, however this is not necessarily a method of adjusting the clutch.

If your reading this article because you have a broken clutch-pedal then please read on.

If when pressing the foot-pedal it feels like cable is broken, or pedal is loose, ...This is symptomatic of failure of the QUADRANT & PAWL 'ratchet' mechanism due to wear of teeth on the ratchet.

In some cases the pedal fails to pull the clutch out far enough to change gear, and may make a 'springing noise'. This is due to slippage on some worn ratchet-teeth, but the mechanism has not reached full failure. There are 2 ways to remedy the fault.

1. Change the Quadrant & Pawl, using only genuine Ford parts. #Beware of inferior mouldings that are not up to standard e.g. too soft, and do not trust 'pattern-parts' on eBay etc.

2. SHORTEN THE CABLE.

  • Disconnect SPRING ON THE FOOT-PEDAL to release ratchet mechanism.
  • Clamp cable slack (engine end).

What is the correct procedure to replace the timing belt and idler pulleys on a 1998 Ford Escort ZX2?

There are four different engines that you can have with this model. a 1.8L, a 1.9L, a 2.0 SOHC, or a 2.0 DOHC. I am in possesion of the last of the four. The first thing to do is to purchase a manual. There are two major manu. of these manuals. Chilton's and Haynes. I reccommend the latter of the two. More pics and more in-depth instruction. It's a little difficult with some of the engines (2.0DOHC) not so bad with the others.
