Ford Escort LX

Here is what you do, Step 1 fill your gas tank. Step 2 Reset the trip odometer Step 3 drive the car Step 4 when you need gas fill your tank. Step 5 write down how many miles you drove and the gallons you just put into the tank. Step 6 divide the miles by how many gallons and that's miles per gallon. for your car only. it should get somewhere in the range of 25 city 30 highway

when you turn the car on, usually the lights on the dash show up "ABS"

possible symptoms are the engine warning light will be on

1. For your own safety, put stoppers on the other 3 wheels. DO NOT put the foot (hand) brake on or you will have difficulty in removing the brake drum. 2. jack and remove the wheel. 3. pull the drum off and rock and tap slightly if there are rusts or debris that preventing the drum pull out, no hammer is necessary! There are two 8x1.25mm threaded bolt holes in each drum that you can run bolts through and it will push off the drum. Just changed my rear brake shoes last weekend and this worked perfectly to get the rusty drums loose.

I just did mine last week on a 96 wagon (1.9L), and it's kind of amusing. Remove the tire, caliper, and your brake pads are on 'rails', that allow them to slide side to side. Remove the pins, pull rails out, replace pads. There are a lot more steps, but i am extremely exhausted from work. I am going to bed, I'll write more tomorrow :P

The cabin air filters are located directly behind the glove compartment, undo the small damper on the right side of the glove box and squeeze the sides of the glove box to let it drop down pull the glove box down and then out, it will release from the dash or you can just drop it down far enough to get the cover off for the cabin filter and pull it out.

Yes, but if you're looking for performance, you might want to go with something bigger, like a weber dges.

To get a holley 5200 to fit on your engine, you have a few options. The easiest would be to see if you can get a redline weber adapter plate. Check their website, http://www.redlineweber.com/HTML/application_guide/ISUZU.htm and see if your exact engine model is listed there. The weber dgv 32/36 carb has the same base pattern as the holley, the holley is actually a liscensed copy of the weber. Try to get an adapter plate for your engine off eBay or something, and the holley will bolt right on to your stock intake manifold your second option, if you can't find an adapter plate for your engine, is to have a machine shop make a plate or modify your intake manifold to fit the carb. A third option is to build a custom intake manifold, but don't even think about this unless you know what you're doing.

It has no cabin air filter.

Idle speed cannot be adjusted on this model. No manual adjustments available. Problem may lie in fuel pump, or fuel filter or temp sensor.

the belt is most likely broke.

There are several reasons as to why a transmission would grind and not shift into gear. The problem could be cumulative therefore the problem could be 1 or a number of issues compounding the problem. The transmission has many valves in it that push transmission oil through. When you shift gears, if the valves are not able to push oil through, the transmission has a difficult time shifting, if it can at all. The transmission also has a magnet in it that essentially picks up small bits of metal that have been grinded by the gears. The constant grinding of the gears does a number of things. First, it wears down the gears leaving a lot of little pieces of metal that are then picked up by the magnet. Through years of wear and tear, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what happend....the gears become worn down. Second, the gears themselves could be slightly bent, meaning they no longer have their perfect form which of course can complicate shifting. Transmission oil change are not always the solution for these types of problems. Often the build up of metal and old oil is what is keeping the transmission together, other times a transmission oil change will allow for a thorough cleaning and flush any build up in the transmission away. I suggest you see a transmission specialist who can determine the best way to go forward.

Yes. Recommend getting a adjustable cam gear. You can delete the VCT solenoid correctly later with a delete kit. ZXTuner.com sells both cam gears and VCT delete kits.

If it's sliping while it's vibrating, it's low hydraulic pressure inside the transmission. Either low fluid level, a worn hydraulic pump, leaking o-rings or seals or a blocked filter. In any case, if it's acting that way, you'ver probably caused significant damage to the clutches, in which case you'll probably need a rebuild.

fuse #11, 15 amp mini fuse. Check your fuse box cover for labelling.

It is on the intake manifold near the thermostat housing.

It doesn't have a fuse, it has a fuse link, which looks just like a reular wire, but it is made to burn internally. It is one of the fuse links in a bundle of fuse links on the left fender skirt area near the starter relay. You test a fuse link by tugging on it. If it puls apart fairly easily, it is blown.

Ford escorts usually average about 12 galllons.

Yes it does. It is on the intake side under the cylinder head below the intake plenum. You have to take the intake manifold off to get to it.

transverse mounted four cylinder

The hazard flasher is in the fuse box by the driver's left knee. There's a panel right underneath the steering wheel. It's the round, silver cylinder.
