Ford Escort LX

The torque settings for the Fiat Bravo 1.4 cylinder head typically range from 20 to 25 Nm for initial tightening, followed by a further angle of 90 degrees for the final torque. It's essential to follow the manufacturer's specifications for the exact model and year, as these can vary. Always ensure the cylinder head bolts are tightened in the correct sequence to avoid warping the head. For precise details, consult the vehicle's service manual or a repair guide.

To remove the rear brake drums on a 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, first ensure the vehicle is safely lifted and supported on jack stands. Remove the wheel and tire, then locate the brake drum. If the drum is stuck, tap around the edges with a hammer to loosen it, and if necessary, remove the adjuster access plug to back off the brake shoes. Finally, slide the drum off the wheel hub.

To adjust the idle speed control on a 1985 Ford Escort, locate the idle speed adjustment screw on the throttle body. Start the engine and let it warm up to normal operating temperature. Use a tachometer to measure the idle RPM, then turn the adjustment screw to increase or decrease the idle speed as needed, ensuring it falls within the manufacturer's specified range. Finally, recheck the RPM after adjustments and ensure that the engine runs smoothly.

To adjust the idle speed on a 1997 Suzuki Sidekick, locate the idle air control (IAC) valve or the throttle body. You may need to disconnect the battery to reset the ECU before making adjustments. Typically, there is an adjustment screw on the throttle body that you can turn to raise or lower the idle speed. After adjusting, reconnect the battery and start the engine to check the new idle speed, ensuring it is within the manufacturer's specifications.

To adjust the idle on a KFX 700, first, warm up the engine to operating temperature. Locate the idle adjustment screw on the carburetor, which is usually near the throttle linkage. Turn the screw clockwise to increase the idle speed or counterclockwise to decrease it, checking the idle speed after each adjustment. Finally, ensure the engine idles smoothly without stalling or racing.

To remove the battery from a Ford Escort, first ensure the vehicle is turned off and the keys are removed. Disconnect the negative (-) terminal first, followed by the positive (+) terminal. Remove any securing brackets or straps, then lift the battery out of the compartment. To install the new battery, place it in the compartment, secure it with brackets, connect the positive terminal first, then the negative terminal.

The AC relay in a Ford Escort controls the operation of the air conditioning system by supplying power to the AC compressor when the system is activated. When the AC is turned on, the relay closes, allowing electrical current to flow to the compressor, enabling it to compress the refrigerant and circulate it through the AC system. If the relay fails, the AC system may not function properly, leading to issues such as lack of cooling.

Ah, the ignition module for a 1993 F-150 with a 300 straight 6 engine can usually be found mounted on the distributor. It's a little box that helps control the spark to your engine, like a conductor leading an orchestra of pistons. Just take your time, follow the wires, and you'll find it nestled in there, ready to keep your truck running smoothly.

This issue could be caused by a faulty speed sensor, loose wiring, or a malfunctioning gauge cluster. It is recommended to have a mechanic inspect the speed sensor and wiring for any issues and replace or repair as needed. If the problem persists, the gauge cluster may need to be replaced.

What does the water outlet housing look like 2001 Sebring (2.7liters) V6?

It depends on the engine type... For the 2.7L V6 engine code R it looks like a black plastic piece with three hoses going into it. It has a brass bleed valve on the very top and the coolant temp sensor mounted vertically just below it. It is mounted on top of the engine block on the passenger side. Search for 902-302 for an aftermarket solution.

The main physical difference between kerosine (kerosene) and wide-cut fuels is their degree of volatility, the latter type of fuel having a higher volatility, thus increasing the problem of vapour locking and boiling

might be your catalytic converter being plugged up. An exhaust leak, bad head gasket, cracked head, clogged air filter, low compression, timing off, bad spark plugs. The 2.5 is a high compression engine, not enough back pressure in the exhaust will cause a drop in performance, via low compression in the 2 middle cylinders. The cat going bad or getting clogged up will also cause black puffs out of the exhaust, when it is very bad the car will stall and you will have to hold the gas pedal down to get it started and at stops to keep it running.

For a Mercury Cougar XR7 1994 V6, you should use a synthetic oil that meets the manufacturer's recommended viscosity grade, which is likely 5W-30. Some recommended synthetic oil brands for this vehicle include Mobil 1, Castrol EDGE, and Valvoline SynPower. Be sure to consult your owner's manual for specific recommendations.

Only the 2.3L HSC Inline 4 will fit in the 1986 Mercury Topaz. If everything in the engine bay were gutted, perhaps something larger such as a 3.0L V6 from a 1992-1994 model MIGHT fit but it would require a complete running 92-94 Ford Tempo or Mercury Topaz with the V6 engine as a donor car (and, if you could find such a car, it would be more worth your time/money to invest in it v.s. a 1986 model). The automatic transmission from a Taurus WILL NOT WORK in a Tempo/Topaz.

You must check the coolant level in your radiator and reservoir. Low coolant levels can lead to overheating. If it's low, you may have a coolant leak that needs to be repaired. Good luck!

83xbrThe answer is that you can't adjust the idle speed on any car since the 80s, because the Feds mandated a design that allows only automotive shops to do that. If you need to increase your idle speed, you can cheat by finding the throttle cable linkage at the carb or throttle body. There should be a flat piece of metal to which the throttle cable is attached. The metal is hinged and spring loaded usually. When you step on the gas, the piece of metal hinges away from the carb/throttle body. The piece of metail serves as a stop when it hinges back to the carb/throttle body. Wrap a zip-tie or some other relatively thin material around the flat piece of metal and you will artificially keep it from returning to the lowest idle point. Use materials of differing thicknesses until you achieve the idle speed you want.

Lower radiator hose.

It may be easier to use the drain plug located on the left hand side of the radiator. Its on the back of the radiator. Do not mistake the heater core for the radiator. The radiator is the one with the thick rubber hoses.

To take off the lower radiator hose you have to remove the air filter box.

This was a common problem on mid to late 80s' GM cars...The torque converter lock up clutch does not disengage and when you put the gearselector into drive the Torque converter clutch stops the motor.

The test for this problem is to put the drive wheels up in the air-put the car in gear and see if the motor kills. If not then the Torque converter clutch is stuck.. The simplest repair is to unplug the Torque converter plug on the outside of the transmission then the Torque converter clutch will usually disengage.

If you could tell me what make/model/year and motor that you have i can be more specific.

Hope that helps..

Good luck.

I would look up inside the fender in front of the pass. side wheel. Or drivers wheel, check your fuse> I remember Tempos were bad for the harness behind steering wheel and plugged in under steering column, it was a part the dealer kept in stock. .

If it has one, it is inside the car on the firewall about 18 inches up from the floor on the pass side. The fuel shut off switch is located on the passenger side rear fender. Well, in the trunk of the hatchbacks, and same location for wagons. You will see a little door in the trunk, on the right side, about 1-2ft above floor. Open this door, and see if the switch was faulted. This can happen from sudden impacts (like hitting a shopping cart, like i did), or maybe you took off or slowed down too fast. I would consider checking this. If you hear your fuel pump whining when you turn on your ignition, i would probably have someone check it out.

The PGM-FI unit is located under carpet at the passenger side. It covered by frame. Good luck. The ignition control module of any late model Honda/Acura product is always the PGMFI computer, which controls all fuel delivery and ignition timing coordination. Now, if you have a problem, that is ignition related, first replace the plugs, then the wires, and shortly after the ign coil itself. That's how you approach a Honda ign prob.

Prior to 1994, R-12 was the refrigerant freon. It should likely be recharged with the same, or have a shop fully empty the unit, and check it for compatibility with the later freon.

If the system is discharged, you'll also need to have it pressure-checked for leaks. Remember, in most states, discharging the unit will cost you a fairly large fine, if not done according to EPA standards.

You'll also need to change the condensor/drier for the AC unit, as leaks in the system, or recharges need the dessicant refreshed. R-12 seems to be a 'colder' refrigerant at a lower pressure, but requires some fairly special handling, and may be more expensive due to the treaties on Freon use.
