Your year of Escort takes R 12 refrigerant. It is no longer available in 14 oz cans. It does come in 20 lb. bulk. In 1994 Ford Escorts went to R-134a refrigerant which will not harm the ozone layer. Kits are made to change the earlier systems which take R12 over to R-134a which mainly involves changing the charge ports. You could take it to an A/C shop and they could recharge it with R12 or you could change the ports over and get a kit at the parts place to recharge it yourself. Detailed instructions come with the R134a charge kits.

Take the negative cable off the battery and wait 1 minute for the backup supply of current to dissipate in the air bag system.

1. Insert special tool (Ford T 87P-19061-A) to separate the radio from the mounting bracket. If you don't have the special tool you can us lengths of a coathanger.

2. Slip the radio out far enough to disconnect the antenna lead and electrical connectors.

3. Installation is the reverse of these steps.

For a 2001 ZX2 - the belt cost from $20 to $34 (depending on which manufacture you get) from Autozone.com

The question still remains.....what motor are you talking about there's a few to contend with here. Work on cold engine! I was able to save the fluid.

If it's the 5 Liter, 8 cylinder, drain the stuff, remove shroud, remove blade, disconnect all the hoses. Remove the serpentine belt. Draw a picture. Remove the 2 large bolts and 5 or so smaller bolts holding the stuff to the right, as you face the engine, like the power steering unit, etc, that are bolted onto the H2O pump, removing the bracket entirely, remove the 6 or5 so bolts holding the H2O pump, work it loose, remove. Clean up or replace your bolts. Need gasket and silicone agent. Keep track of where which bolt went. Draw a picture. Assemble. Don't forget to replace the short hoses while you are re-assembling the engine, and the larger hoses if need be. I think the Thermostat is in the upper hose right there in front of you. Maybe change out that also while your there? I was able to suspend the heavy stuff to the right of the H2O pump on a rope. When putting it all back I put the bracket back first, VERY loosely so there was a lot of wobble, and this allowed me to hang the unit on the top bolt and line-up the other bolts B/for I tightened anything down. Remember proper tore. Be sure to clean off the face of the block so you have a good seal.

everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and the local library should have a SHOP manual available in the reference section--make copies of the right info and read up..you'll be a pro in no time ...good luck:)

Yes, everyone should have a manual. However, as the engine for this vehicle is a custom made Cadillac NorthStar engine, they DO NOT make a manual for this car. You may buy bits and pieces of information. I have gotten to know my GM/Cadillac dealer and they can be helpful. The right contact can print off diagrams that may be needed if you choose to do it yourself.

Fill the brake reservoir with fluid. Starting with the right rear wheel, then left rear wheel, then right front wheel and lastly Left front wheel. As you are bleeding the brakes keep the reservoir full of fluid. Have some body pump up the brakes and hold it to the floor, Put a clear plastic hose over the bleeder valve into a container of brake fluid. As the assistant is holding the pumped up pedal to the floor, open the bleeder valve and watch for air bubbles in the container. Then, close the valve and have the assistant pump the pedal again and hold it to the floor. Open the valve and check for bubbles again. Do this on all four wheels until you get a GOOD pedal.

The button on top of the fuel pump shut off switch ( inertia switch ) should be

( DOWN ) If the button has popped up on the top of the switch then no power

is going to the electric fuel pump

Does the noise happen all the time you push on the gas pedal or only at certain speeds?
