You gotta go in there and locate the water pump first... use your manual by the company "chilton" designated for your vehicle model...

you need the adjustable wrench. go in thera nd undo the screws on the water pump and watch out for the belts that go through there. take it out and bring to your autoparts store and get the new one...

put it in the reverse way from taking out the old one. good luck. the instructions are also in your cars manual, and you can now also get a computerized version of the manual for any car online, ordered on CD ROM, from eBay or ther web sites...

There is a hold-down bracket held down by a single retaining bolt on the passenger side of the distributor. Remove the bolt and bracket and the distributor will be free to rotate and pull in and out slightly. Once you've disconnected the electrical connections and plug wires you need to pull/pry upward on the shaft while rotating the rotor shaft until you start sliding upward. Be sure and set base timing when the new distributor is in. For TBI engines you need to disconnect the coolant temp sensor wire on the front top of the intake manifold to set timing correctly.

In a 1990 LX it is under the passenger seat.

10mm sockett ranch

Yes

if you remove the seating portion of the back seat, not the back rests, and u will find underneath the fabric stuff that's under the seat, that the fuel pump is directly centered under the seat.it is usually white with a black power relay on top of it

If your'e refering to the "Vin Number", stand outside your car on the driver side and look at your windshield on the lower side (toward you) and you should see a small plate with a series of numbers and letters, That is your vin number.

the 2.0 had 118hp stock the 2.5L had 164 hp. Ypur question is hard to answer because it depends heavily on who's equipment you're using. (bosai versus borla) I have 94 2.5 which should have 164 hp, but I installed twin turbo w/2.5 intercooler, four inch cat backs, cold air intake, ecm power chip, beefed up axles and joints, strut tower torque rods and frame connectors. Last time I was on the dyno, it registered at 385 hp.

A fun little car to drive to church on Sundays.

dowsing (a.k.a. water witching)

Dowsing is the action of a person--called the dowser--using a rod, stick or other device--called a dowsing rod, dowsing stick, doodlebug (when used to locate oil) or divining rod--to locate such things as underground water, hidden metal, buried treasure, oil, lost persons or golf balls, etc. Since dowsing is not based upon any known scientific or empirical laws or forces of nature, it should be considered a type of divination and an example of magical thinking. The dowser tries to locate objects by occult means.

Map dowsers use a dowsing device, usually a pendulum, over maps to locate oil, minerals, persons, water, etc. However, the prototype of a dowser is the field dowser who walks around an area using a forked stick to locate underground water. When above water, the rod points downward. (Some dowsers use two rods. The rods cross when above water.) Various theories have been given as to what causes the rods to move: electromagnetic or other subtle geological forces, suggestion from others or from geophysical observations, ESP and other paranormal explanations, etc. Most skeptics accept the explanation of William Carpenter (1852). The rod moves due to involuntary motor behavior, which Carpenter dubbed ideomotor action.

In the 16th century, Agricola described mining dowsers using a forked twig to find metals (De re metallica). He didn't think much of the practice. A miner, he wrote:

should not make us of an enchanted twig, because if he is prudent and skilled in the natural signs, he understands that a forked stick is of no use to him, for ... there are natural indications of the veins which he can see for himself without the help of twigs. (Quoted in Zusne and Jones 1989: 106)

Despite this sage advice, dowsers continue to dowse, claiming that they have a special power and that what they are dowsing for emanates energy, rays, radiations, vibrations, and the like.

Does dowsing work?

Some people are less interested in why the rods move than in whether dowsing works. Obviously, many people believe it does. Dowsing and other forms of divination have been around for thousands of years. There are large societies of dowsers in America and Europe and dowsers practice their art every day in all parts of the world. There have even been scientists in recent years who have offered proof that dowsing works. There must be something to it, then, or so it seems.

Testing has been sparse, however. For one thing, it is difficult to establish a "baseline against which a diviner's performance may be compared" (Zusne and Jones 1989: 108). In 1949, an experiment was conducted in Maine by the American Society for Psychical Research. Twenty-seven dowsers "failed completely to estimate either the depth or the amount of water to be found in a field free of surface clues to water, whereas a geologist and an engineer successfully predicted the depth at which water would be found in 16 sites in the same field...." (Zusne and Jones 1989: 108; reported in Vogt and Hyman: 1967). There have been a few other controlled tests of dowsing and all produced only chance results (ibid.). [In addition to Vogt and Hyman, see R.A. Foulkes (1971) "Dowsing experiments," Nature, 229, pp.163-168); M. Martin (1983-1984). "A new controlled dowsing experiment." Skeptical Inquirer. 8(2), 138-140; J. Randi(1979). "A controlled test of dowsing abilities." Skeptical Inquirer. 4(1). 16-20; and D. Smith (1982). "Two tests of divining in Australia." Skeptical Inquirer. 4(4). 34-37.]

The testimonials of dowsers and those who observe them provide the main evidence for dowsing. The evidence is simple: dowsers find what they are dowsing for and they do this many times. What more proof of dowsing is needed? The fact that this pattern of dowsing and finding something occurs repeatedly leads many dowsers and their advocates to make the causal connection between dowsing and finding water, oil, minerals, golf balls, etc. This type of fallacious reasoning is known as post hoc reasoning and is a very common basis for belief in paranormal powers. It is essentially unscientific and invalid. Scientific thinking includes being constantly vigilant against self-deception and being careful not to rely upon insight or intuition in place of rigorous and precise empirical testing of theoretical and causal claims. Every controlled study of dowsers, including the "Scheunen" or Barn study [see below], has shown that dowsers do no better than chance in finding what they are looking for.

Most dowsers do not consider it important to doubt their dowsing powers or to wonder if they are self-deceived. They never consider doing a controlled scientific test of their powers. They think that the fact that they have been successful over the years at dowsing is proof enough. When dowsers are scientifically tested and fail, they generally react with genuine surprise. Typical is what happened when James Randi tested some dowsers using a protocol they all agreed upon. If they could locate water in underground pipes at an 80% success rate they would get $10,000 (now the prize is over $1,000,000). All the dowsers failed the test, though each claimed to be highly successful in finding water using a variety of non-scientific instruments, including a pendulum. Says Randi, "the sad fact is that dowsers are no better at finding water than anyone else. Drill a well almost anywhere in an area where water is geologically possible, and you will find it."

Some of the strongest evidence for dowsing comes from Germany and the so-called "Scheunen" or "Barn" experiment. In 1987 and 1988, more than 500 dowsers participated in more than 10,000 double-blind tests set up by physicists in a barn near Munich. (Scheune is the German word for barn.) The researchers claim they empirically proved "a real dowsing phenomenon." Jim Enright of the Scripps Institute of Oceanography evaluated the data and concluded that the so-called "real dowsing phenomenon" can reasonably be attributed to chance. His argument is rather lengthy, but here is a taste of it:

The long and the short of it is that dowsing performance in the Scheunen experiments was not reproducible. It was not reproducible inter-individually: from a pool of some 500 self-proclaimed dowsers, the researchers selected for their critical experiments 43 candidates whom they considered most promising on the basis of preliminary testing; but the investigators themselves ended up being impressed with only a few of the performances of only a small handful from that select group. And, even more troublesome for the hypothesis, dowsing performance was not reproducible intra-individually: those few dowsers, who on one occasion or another seemed to do relatively well, were in their other comparable test series usually no more successful than the rest of the "unskilled" dowsers (Enright

no. it doesnt. in 1st gens they used a 2.2 I4, a 2.2 I4 Turbo and a 3.0 V6. Second gens are 2.0 I4 and a 2.5 V6 DOHC. hope this helps!

On a 1990 LX 3.0 V-6 it is under the dashboard on the passenger side right next to the blower motor. It only has 2 screws in it. If it is malfunctioning your blower motor would still most likely work at the high speed setting.

When you have the headlights flipped up then you will see 2 holes one on the top and one on the sides. There is a Phillips screw in there that you turn to adjust the headlights.

The only type of mirror that I know of is the glass one.

You cant unless there is a scratch but if not u have to go to the hospital and get an x-ray You cant unless there is a scratch but if not u have to go to the hospital and get an x-ray

right beside the spare tire is the "fuel cut off" ..try that maybe.

Enough to create a 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water. This usually requires a gallon of antifreeze. You can purchase the 50/50 mix, ready to use. Pour it in the radiator.

If you have one its located behind the emergecy brake under a "flip up" lid, along with the ashtry.

Most likely the clutch is shot. When the clutch plate can't engage with the transmission there will be slippage between the engine and the drive wheels.

I'm not a mechanic / technician but I wouldn't think so

The fuel pump inertia switch is a mechanical switch that " breaks " the

electric circuit to the electric fuel pump

It is a safety device if the vehicle suffers a hard jolt like being in a collision or

maybe hitting a bad pot hole

The 1993 Ford Probe rear brake light lens cannot be removed. The tail light are a complete seal light. The light bulb's can be removed from the rear of the light assembly.

Check the thermostat, also there could be a heater core issue...
