How do you adjust the idle speed on a 92 Ford Tempo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

How do you replace the horn on a '91 Toyota 4Runner?

Asked by Wiki User

I replaced the horn on my 1990 Toyota 4Runner without much problem. The first step is to take off the front grill. (Look in your owners manual for replacing the head lights for instructions to do that). There are about 8 clips that must be undone to get the grill off. Then, on the right side of the car (your left if you are facing it), is your horn (little round black thing) simply remove, cut the wires, strip them, and connect your new horn. I replaced mine with an ArrOOOOOOOOGa horn. Sounds preety cool.

Remove passenger side headlamp and the two horns are located right under it. The horns are bolted to a wall with one small nut like a 3/8 or 10mm. I didn't have much tools and used the 3/8 wrench, it was a tight fit but I go them loose.

How do you change heater core on 2001 ZX2?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you have not done this before, it is a very time consuming job. Replacing the heater core is not the problem. Getting to it is. Unless you are willing to start removing panels and know how to remove them without damaging the plastic panels and clips, I suggest you take it to a professional. It is just a matter of removing enough to actually get to the core. Once you get to the heater core, first drain the radiator enough to get the level below the heater hoses. Remove the heater hoses, and then remove and replace the core.

Why would a 1989 GM truck brake warning light stay on blinking?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Check the antilock wire beneath the master cylinder.

Also the RWAL (rear wheel anti-lock) computer will store a (1 code at a time) code due to a faulty system. This code can be read by counting the flashes starting with the long flash as one and following with the short flashes there after (1(long)2(short)3(short)...and so on). The long flash always starts the new set of flashes. If the brake light stays on then a code reader will need to be used ($20 on ebay), which is read the same way.

How do you drain the radiator on a 1998 Ford Escort?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Where is the kill switch on a 94 Ford Escort?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

How do you remove the faceplate off of a 1999 escort zx2 factory radio?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First off, disconnect negative battery cable. Then push your hand inside the shifter boot, and pull the panel that the shifter is in out. The whole front panel is in two parts, and the lower part will pull out. Go slowly here, firm pressure should get it out for you. Once you have the panel out, look at the lower part of the top panel (the one with the radio and ac vents). You should see two screws at the bottom, remove those. Now start pulling the entire upper panel out of the dash. The whole upper panel will come forward, disconnect the wiring for the climate control and you should then have enough room to get the radio out. Word of advice on disconnect of radio-make certain you have anti theft code or radio will not work if reconnected.

What special tools are needed to replace a timing belt on a 2000 ford escort ZX2?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

camshaft timing peg and a crankshaft alignment tool... I'm half way through doing mine and realizing you need to take the camshaft pulley off to get to the bottom gear for the timing belt, I'm still stuck on how to get it off, it says to use a strap wrench so I'm guessing for to hold the pulley while you remove the bolt... anyone ever acomplished this?

Where is starter on Ford ZX2?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The starter can be seen under the intake piping. Remove the pipe from the throttle body, and then you'll see the starter. You should be able to trace the negative battery cable to it. It has three bolts and can require much finesse to remove once unbolted.

How do you route a serpentine belt?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Almost every car and truck since 1980 has a belt routing guide on a sticker under the hood. This is most often placed on the radiator shroud or radiator mount but can be found other places like on the bottom side of the hood. If the sticker is gone then go to your local automotive parts dealer like NAPA and ask them to please look it up for you. A nice counter guy - or girl- would be happy to check their books for you and hand you a print out. Be sure to have the make, model and engine info with you. Mitch

There is a tension pulley to the left of the alternator. Put a 19mm socket with a torque wrench on the pulley nut. Turn the nut in a counter-clockwise direction. This will lift the pulley away from the belt and allow you to slip it off. Install is the reverse of removal.

How do you change a person's mind?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

==new answer== The universal principle is this- if you want someone else to be something, first be that yourself.

A way to work with this so that you can see how it works is to pick a person you are in daily contact with. Next, make a list of the things about this person that irritate you. Beside this list, choose the direct opposite of this quality and choose one each day to practice in that person's presence, without their knowledge of what you are doing so you can see the results. You will actually be practicing being what you want that person to become. Practice this thoughtfully and faithfully for two weeks and then log the results.
