Ford Escort LX

5w30, 4.5 quarts--- 5W20, I know I have 1 and it's on the oil refill cap and recommended because the engine has VCT (Varitable Cam Timing)

fuel tank holds 12.8 gals

For what, the fuel pump? The trunk then.

Most of the ford escorts made had a 12 gallon tank (approximate).

Hi, I do know that the clutch master servo draws off brake fluid from the brake master cylinder and may require a certified mechanic to replace or rebuild the servo depending on it's condition and cause.

If I recall correctly the 1986 Escort had either a 1,6 diesel or a CVH petrol engine. In any case your car radio (even from 1986) will have more electronics than the rest of the car.

Simply open your trunk, you will then see two screw on each light, unscrew to take out of socket...twist the back of the build connect/cable and the bulb will pop out...

if the 99 ford escort is the 4-door version, the timing is set when installing the timing belt/set. Setting the timing is as simple as lining up the timing marks on the cam gear and the crank

if the 99 ford escort is the 2-door version, the timing is also set when installing a new timing belt/set. The procedure for setting the timing on this engine requires locating top dead center (TDC) on cylinder number one and using a piece of flat steel to align the cams.

Note: there are two different methods because Ford used different engines in the 2-door and the 4-door. The 2-door had a DOHC 2.0 installed while the 4-door had a SOHC installed

u take a pair of needle nose pliers and at the front of the knob near the bottom there is a pin that loks almost like a staple just pull it out and it will come off

No, they are different.

I would suggest you take it to a mechanic. When the hose is separated from it's component it gets air in the system. It is a complicated job to get the air out and requires some special equipment.

brake drums should pull off if not rusted on.

Workaround : 1. Determine howmany wires and which color 2. Take multimeter and test the continuity Usaully, Black=Ground If you have two blue wired then they must be positive For one speaker use black and blue Mr Yogi

brake light switch is bad

Check fuse Replace turn signal flasher

A 1993 what, Ford, Chevy, GMC, Dodge, Kia, ???

There are 2 adjusting screws new the metal air intake body. The Phillips is mounted by the dual cables for the throttle and and if for adjusting the intrenal butterfly ONLY - DO NOT TURN IT!!

The IDLE speed is adjusted by the slotted screw (uses a straight screw-driver)- NOT Phillips head screw on the air intake housing. This screw in in the metal body of the air intake. I asked a local deal service dept and got great advice: Turn it clock wise until you hear the idle speed slow, check the RPM's.. should be appox 900rpm. Turn the screw 1/4 turn at a time - WAIT 30 secs for the onboard computer to adjust... still too fast? Give it another 1/4 turn until you get the idle rpm to appox 900rpm.

it MAY run a little rough on cold starts after this adjustment: IF So turn it back COUNTER_clock wise and 1/8 of a turn at a time to 'tweak" the cold start. I did it after a few days of trail & error..

good luck!

sorry, have to say it, the full amount...umm, well around 40-44 liters

There should be a slot in the shfiting console to insert a small screwdriver to unlock the shift lock.

Blower motor should be located at the passenger side firewall - check to see if you are getting power to it. If so motor is bad. If not could be resistor pack or switch where is resistor located at ? there are several wire terminals around fan motor housing under hood ,not sure which is resistor pack hookup earlier model vehicles had a 3 or 4 wire hook up that bolted into blower asembley and i assume this was the resistor assemble as i found one of the silver wires burnt into on old truck but i don't know about this diesel. it is 2000 model SD with turbo . thanks in advance as i dont do much with these new er trucks anymore.; thanks again jabo

you dont ,it must be done through the computer,please go to the dealer

1. make sure the cylinder surface is clean of all debris.

2. most important: make sure the stock cylinder head surface is flat and also clean. if the surface is not flat it will never seal right. you can get it milled or you can do it yourself with fine metal bodywork sandpaper, about 400 grit, a piece of non tempered glass, glass must be flat and tempered glass has waves in it so you must use raw glass. you can pick a piece at any hardware store for little money. lay the glass on a workbench, lay the sandpaper on top of the glass with the sanding side up, grab the head with one hand and with the other hand hold the sandpaper straight and flat on the glass and make several circle 8 patterns until the sanding marks become even on the head. you will see the difference from when you first start with a warper head to when the sanding marks become even. make sure you clean the head thoroughly when done. this will create a flat mating surface on the head. just dont go to far because you will get too deep in the squish band area, just go far enough to get the sanding marks even.

3. make sure the torque of the head nuts is correct and that the sequence numbers on the head are followed. i believe the torque spec is 15 lbs for the head nuts but check the banshee repair manual just to be sure.

4. make sure that the bike is not overheating while riding. purchase a inexpensive inline temp gauge that goes in the radiator hose between the engine and radiator. if you think the bike is overheating this will tell you for sure.

5. if overheating, check all cooling components, radiator cap, water and coolant level and mixture, overflow tank level etc.

hope this helps. MC.

It is underneath the intake housing attached to the base of the right strut tower.

On a Ford Escort , if the eighth digit of your VIN is a " P " that means you have

a SOHC ( Single Over Head Cam ) engine
