Ford Escort LX

I have a 99 sportage, I know an easier way, when you get the tire off, you will notice two screws in the center area of the outside of the drum, take those out, and there will be two additional holes near those, put the screws in those other holes and evenly tighten them, you will see the drum start to come off. when the screws are all the way in, then just use a hammer or flat bar to pry the drum off the rest of the way.

+ battery cable should be connected to relay

Reccomended oil is 5w-30 SM rated oil for all temperature ranges.

a cluster is the panel that tells you your speed, rpm, etc.. they usually call it your cluster panel.

it depends if your coustumizing or not but around the price range of 599.00 to 2,000.00

There is about 2.7 hours of labor at $87 an hour.

Find the big hose that runs to the top of the radiator. At the other end where it is attached to the engine is called the thermostat housing. The thermostat is inside.

The 1.9 litre four cylinder engine in a 1995 Ford Escort is a :

Take it easy and you'll be done and going in no time:

Here are some common instructions and safety precautions regularly found in all automobile handbooks and car safety manuals. You can find these types of instructions everywhere! I bring it to you here to better aid you, the person that needs this info. Hope this helps.

1. Put the car in park on a level area, and apply the parking brake. On the road, pull off as far as you safely can to avoid traffic.

2. Turn the engine off and put on the flashers. You may want to open the hood to indicate to other drivers that you are stopped for repairs.

3. Place a wheel chock (or any large rock, log, etc.) behind or in front of the opposing wheel to prevent the car from rolling, even on a slight incline.

4. Put the car in gear and set the parking brake for a manual-transmission car.

5. Get out the spare, a tire iron (lugnut wrench) and the car jack.

6. Remove the hubcap, if necessary.

7. Loosen the lugnuts before jacking up the car: Place one end of the tire iron over a lug nut. Turn the tire iron and loosen the lug nut. Remember: lefty-loosy, righty-tighty.

8. Use your pipe for leverage (see tips below) by attaching it to the end of the lugnut wrench.

9. Untighten the lug nuts in a star pattern, loosening one a few turns, then loosening the one opposite.

10. Work across the tire until all the lug nuts are loose and unscrewed slightly.

11. Jack the car up. Check your owner's manual for the correct and safe place to put the jack.

12. Jack the car up a little higher than is necessary to remove the old tire so there is room to put the new, full tire on.

13. Remove the lug nuts all the way and set them aside -- someplace where you won't lose them or they won't roll away! The flat tire should be hanging from the threaded studs now.

14. Remove the flat tire and set it aside.

15. Replace with the new tire, lifting it onto the wheel studs. If confused about which way is the right way to put the new tire on, check for the valve where you add air - it always faces out.

16. Replace the lug nuts. Tighten them the same way you loosened them - give each nut a few turns, first one, then the one opposite, working around the wheel in a star pattern. Try not to tighten adjacent nuts consecutively.

17. Slowly lower the jack and remove it.

18. Tighten the lugnuts again before driving away. Tighten them as much as you can.

19. Put the hubcap back on, if the wheel's equipped with one.

Some things that can help you:

The best thing to have with your tire changing equipment is a strong, hollow pipe, about two feet long, to use for leverage.

If a lug nut sticks, squirt penetrating oil around its base and wait a moment, then try again. Repeat as needed.

Mind your hands when you remove a flat tire. Strands of steel may be sticking out of the back of the rubber (on a bald tire) and can cut you.

Check out all your tire changing equipment at home before you need it on the road!

Most people's spare tires are flat! Check the tire pressure once a month. Temporary spares (the small ones that have a "T" on them, require 60 PSI, regular sized spares need 32 PSI). A flat spare is useless.

Be Careful!

Cars can slip off jacks. Be extremely careful. Never get under a car with only a tire changing jack holding it up.

To avoid bruised knuckles, pull rather than push when removing lugnuts.

To avoid a strained back, use your knees when pulling on the wrench and pipe rather than your back.

It's on top of the transmission held by a single bolt and clamp. There is some electrical wires going into it. You'll need to take the intake housing and the battery and box out to get to it. Then take the bolt off the clamp and carefully pry the speed sensor out. A word to the wise. It is very hard to get out. Corrosion really bad. I would suggest this repair to get done by an experienced mechaic. While being pried out the speedometer gear has been known to drop down into the case jamming the shift rods. It's a $1800 dollar repair to R and R the transmission to get the gear out.

No they are different. The zx2 injectors wont fit an Escort head.

Take the 2 wires on the relay off and run each into the interior of the car where a suitable switch can be installed. Take the 2 leads and hook them onto the switch. Make sure you have an inline 30 amp fuse installed.

10.5 gallons.

Get a 9007 hi/lo lamp at the parts store. Access from the engine compartment. Behind the headlamp, turn the beige cup sized cover toward you (off). You do not need to unhook the wires at this point. Move this to the side (it is a tight fit), reach in and get hold of the next o type ring (black), and turn toward you. Pull out the bulb and unhook the wiring. Install new bulb, making sure the o ring is set right. It takes me a couple of tries to get the bulb and o ring back together just right.

It is probably 4.5 qts. Change the oil & filter. Pour in 4 qts. Start the engine and run for 2 minutes. Shut it off and wait 1 hour. Check the oil level and add enough to fill it up. You now know how much it holds.

The fuse box would be the best place to start. This should be located under the steering wheel probably on the right hand side near the door. Once you remove the cover (will probably need to unscrew) there will be a key/legend to which fuse is which. If still in doubt pull out random fuses until you find one that's blown (the metal in the middle will be broken) and replace that fuse.

To adjust the idle on a 2001 Suzuki Volusia, locate the idle adjustment screw on the throttle body, usually near the carburetor. Start the engine and let it warm up to operating temperature. Then, using a screwdriver, turn the idle screw clockwise to increase the idle speed or counterclockwise to decrease it, aiming for the manufacturer-recommended RPM. After adjustments, double-check the idle speed and ensure the bike is running smoothly.

Most Ford gas tanks do not have drain plugs. Instead, they are typically designed to be sealed units, which helps prevent fuel leaks and contamination. If there is a need to drain the tank, it usually requires removing the tank from the vehicle or using the fuel pump to siphon out the fuel. Always consult the specific service manual for your Ford model for detailed information.
