How do you bleed your cooling system ford escort 1993?
There should be a radiator drain plug on the bottom corner of the radiator. (varies on which side) You'll probably have to remove some of the plastic skid plates on the bottom to get at it. Or if you want, just remove the lower radiator hose from the radiator and let it drain that way.
To bleed a cooling system means to purge air out of it. Just take the radiator cap off and let it run for a short time. the excess air will come out.You may have to replace coolant .
Is there a coolant pressure relief - bleed valve on a Sable - Ford Taurus?
There is no coolant pressure relief valve. Just have to wait for the engine to cool off sufficiently to safely remove the coolant reservoir cap.
There is also not a coolant bleed valve.
Here's are the coolant bleed/burp procedures
NEVER ever think of releasing a radiator - coolant cap when the engine is hot, or even warm!!!Burping: In order to what is sometimes referred to as 'burping' the cooling system - getting a big air bubble out of the closed cooling system, you will actually need to have the car running with the cap off.
- During the initial fill, fill the coolant reservoir bottle to the top of the cold fill range.
- Set the temperature blend selector to the full warm position and the fan motor control to high for the front and rear heaters
- Start the vehicle with the reservoir cap off and allow to idle until the thermostat opens
NOTE: the coolant level will drop quite a bit when the thermostat opens - that's most of the air bubble in the system being driven to the top of radiator and escaping. Without the air, there's more room for coolant.
- Top off the coolant in the reservoir bottle to the top of the cold fill range,
- Install and tighten the reservoir cap.
- Increase the engine rpms to 3,000 for 15 seconds, and then return to idle for one minute.
- Repeat the previous step four times or until heat is coming from the rear unit while the vehicle is idling.
- Allow the vehicle to cool and top off the coolant in the reservoir to the cold fill range.
Note: if you find the heater going cool or cold when idling, that's a good indicator you might have to burp the system again. Equally likely just adding more coolant to the overflow reservoir will suffice too.
Did I mention to NEVER ever think of releasing a radiator cap when the engine is hot, or even warm? !!!
Is this being asked because of seeing a puddle under the car only when the a/c has been run?
If that's the case, it's not the water pump, it is condensate that is draining out and is normal.
If it is truly a water pump leak, it really doesn't matter when it leaks, you're going to have to replace it.

Where do you find the bank 2 sensor 1 on a 1997 Ford Taurus with a 3.0 liter overhead valve engine?
It is in the exhaust pipe nearest the front. If you jack the car up it can be found by looking just behind the plastic underbody shield that extends back from the bumper and looking up along the exhaust pipe. It will require a 7/8 wrench. The connector is located up at the top just below and to the left of the fuse box. Be glad it isn't bank 1. That sensor is between the engine and the firewall on the pasenger side and is almost impossible to see let alone replace.

How to install radiator bottom hose?
remove the old one by loosening the screw clamps and sliding them down the hose, then pull on the hose with a twisting motion. Do NOT yank side to side as you can damage the radiator this way. If it is stuck *carefully* cut a slit in the hose (not too deep you don't want to damage the outlet, the radiator is only plastic there) from the end about 1-1.5" in and peel the hose off the outlet.
Compare the new hose to the old one to make sure it is correct, then slide the new clamps on each end, putting them at least 3-4"down the hose to keep them out of the way. Guide the new hose in place, then slide it onto the outlets at least as far as the old one was. slid the clamps to about 1/2" from the ends of the hose and tighten them until they are snug.
Once you've refilled the system and started the engine, watch for leaks and tighten the hose clamps as needed.

Where is the fuel lever in the Ford Taurus?
"fuel lever"... Not a common-usage term that I'm familiar with.
Trying to a best-guess, this could be in reference to the fuel gauge sending unit.
That is part of the fuel pump assembly - separate, but packaged together - inside the gas tank.
Unfortunately there is no conventional way to access it without dropping the gas tank.
