What would cause a Ford 5.0 engine to misfire?

There are many things such as defective high tension wires, defective cap and/or rotor, old or fouled or poorly adjusted plugs. Also take a look at the #7 and 8 spark plug wire routings. They should NOT be beside one another, they must have wires 5 and 6 between them from the distributor up to the holder atop the valve cover. As they fire consecutively one sometimes tends to also fire the other. This is clearly indicated in any Ford manual for this ignition system.

How do you replace the water pump on a Ford Thunderbird?

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.

How do you use a puller to install a power steering pump pulley?

The puller will not put it back on. It's made to remove it only.

To reinstall the pulley requires a bolt about 3 inches long, a nut, and flat washer that fits the bolt. There are threads inside the hole on the end of the pump shaft where you insert this bolt. First place the pulley onto the shaft and hold it in place, then install the bolt into the pump shaft. Then hold the bolt head with one wrench, while you tighten the nut and washer against the pulley with another wrench, and it will push the pulley onto the shaft.

Why is there a humming sound and the engine revs up and down when you turn on and use the AC in your 1994 Ford Thunderbird?

Ok, the AC takes several horsepower in order to operate. Rather obviously you can't extract energy from nothing, ie.. the AC does not run for free! Turning on the AC causes the drive solienoid to engage the AC clutch which, in turn, puts an added load on to the drive belt. You are hearing the engine speed-up to counter the engagement of the AC clutch, so as not to kill the engine. You will hear the noise generated from the AC compressor when it is engaged. you will probably hear noise, from time to time, from the fan belt...the serpentine belt which runs all over the place in front of the engine and drives the radiator cooling fan...at least in most cases...but you could have an electric fan or both. In any event, this too drives the AC compressor. Belts sometimes squeel because they become dirty, uncommon with modern vehicle like a 1994 model, and they needed to cleaned. It is a good idea to give the belt pulleys some lubrication from time to time as this will prolong the life of the bearings and you won't have little strange noises generated that seem to come and go. Hope this is helpful, and don't worry so much about the bizzare little noises which sometimes are generated from under the hood. If they become loud then you need to do something to find and correct the problem. Vehicles are alot like people in that they have their various quirks, and in that failures are usually the result of many combinded failures that add up to one major heart attack! Change your oil every 3,000 miles with a new filter and you will be motoring along for a good 200 thousand miles easily.

How can you open the trunk without your keys?

Park Avenue has a remote trunk release. Owner's manual. This button should be located in the glove box of your car. There are probably 2 buttons, the smaller one is for the gas cap and the big one is for the trunk. Hope that helps. Mine's a 92', and the trunk release button won't work unless the ignition is switched to power, so unfortunanetly you need a key either way.
