Ford Escort LX

Because their is a problem with the SRS. Take it to a professional, as working on the SRS is dangerous and should only be done by a pro. Serious injury can occur.

2.0l I am guessing. Drivers side front. You will see a long plastic hose coming from the top of the intake down to right near the exhaust manifold(front of engine). It is either in the middle of the hose(the housing will be marked PCV valve) or it will be at the end of it. Stock ford PCV valved are plastic...so don't just look for something metal.

Open the trunk and on the side you will see a clip, unscrew the 'clip' and pull the fabric down gently. This will expose the tail light bulb holders. Turn the light bulb holders until they come out, about 1/2 turn. remove bulb and replace.

I'm not a body shop man, they are expensive, but i can do body work. Instead of fixing the dent it might be cheaper to find another door in a salvage yard. Call salvage yards in your area and try to find one the same year and color and replace the whole door. They are not that hard to change. If the paint is pealing on the dented door peal a piece off and take it the salvage yard with you to color match. I'm guessing a door should cost $50-$75.

four bolts usually in top at back of motor under exhaust crossover pipe one above starter one in back of motor throught the motor and screwed into trans use flashflight, look above pass axle to where the flywheel would be.

For 1998 Ford Escort ZX2 with a 2.0 16 V Zetec VCT motor use Champion Platinum RE 7PYP6 spark plugs.

The function of an inertia switch is bacically to "stop" the electric fuel pump from causing an explosion in a possible crash involving fuel tank rupture.

Being a 1992 model year it would be R-12 ( unless it has already been

converted to use refrigerant R134a )

Ford Escorts from 91 to present don't have timing marks because the timing is controlled by the engine computer.

There Automatic takes 2.5 quarts and the manual takes 2 7/8 quarts. Use only Mercon.

On the 1996 Taurus it is located in the CCRM which is not serviceable you will need a new one from the auto parts store or from a junk yard. They average 150 at auto zone. The ccrm is right next to the battery its a little box that plugs in.

If you are replacing the air bag, then this means it deployed. This also means that as soon as you connect a new one it may or may not deploy prematurly. This could be a very dangerous repair. Take it to a professional and have them install it.

Loosen the tensioner bolt, let the spring loaded tensioner contact the belt. Then tight the tensioner bolt.

The speed sensor is on the top of the tansaxle. The speedometer driver gear and speed sensor is combined as one unit in the tranny. Be careful pulling it out. Others have done so and dropped the drive gear down into the wells of the transmission effectively keeping the shift levers from operating. You will probably have to take the battery and box out to get to it. You may also have to take the intake tunnel out.

The cigarette fuse lighter in a 1994 Ford Escort can be found in the fuse box. It is usually labeled with accessory or cig.

open your tailgate. there are two Phillips head screws along the side of the bed that hold the tail lite housing in place. remove those and you can pull the whole housing out giving you access to the bulbs. pull the harness off and twist out the bulb in question.

assuming you have an automatic transmission, the most probable cause of your shifting issue is a faulty valve body. The valve body houses the control solenoids for shifting. The valve body also directs fluid to its correct location when needed. there are some instances when replacement of the solenoids can cure the issue. If you have access to a OBD II scan tool. check for stored codes for faulty solenoids. The Saturn dealer sells a valve body package complete with instructions on how to replace the unit for around $700

Its easy Pull the wheel off you will see a center nut undo it and pull it off repace

It is non-interference. I think some mechanics say it is an interference type because one of the major repair manuals incorrectly states that it is interference, it is not...

disconnect the battery for 45 seconds . That will reset the system and allow the AUTO to light up and receive new gas. Once the refrigerant level is correct, that particular light should turn off, and the a/c system should begin to work properly. If not, you can always use a scanner from Autozone, Dicount, or O'Reilly's Auto parts to try to fix it. Hope that helps! Avoid system sealers and leak stop. These products are band-aids, not repairs. Leak sealers react with air. If there is air in the system, the leak stop will congeal into a thick green jelly. www.acpartshouse.com
