That is normal as there is a parking "gear" and that has to hold the vehicle in place when on a hill. There is a lot of pressure on that gear - you are releasing the pressure therefore the large "cluck" when on a hill. Best way to not cause this is put the emergency brake on when parking - release the brake to set the e-brake and then place the van in park to not put the pressure on the transmission.
First U have 2 make sure U have Vaccume @ the belt driven Vac.Pump,then U have 2 repair the Vac.Leak. Some Dodge truck have Vac.lines near the battery & Bat.Acid will make the Vac. line Brake.Some of the Vac.Hoses are in a plastic loom that keeps the hoses & wires 2gether.Loss Of Vac.2 the control is the problem.
I have a 2001 - my problem solution was the vacuum hose that is located right under the weatherstriping for the hood. Just about the center of the block, there is a rubber elbow that faces down and bends to the rear of the truck. The is a small vacuum line that is in a plastic wire loom that should be connected to this elbow. My hose fell out of the elbow and was against the firewall. I re-connected this hose and put a small zip-tie on it(to avoid the problem in the furture) and it now works perfectly! P.S. The 4 wheel drive will not engage the front tires with this hose off either. I found this out the hard way as I got my truck stuck on a slimmy boat ramp trying to pull out my boat!
1) Mark the timing mark on the harmonic balancer white paint marker works best (should be 10 degrees BTDC). 2) Get the engine to normal operating temperature then turn the car off. 3) Pull the PIP (profile ignition pick up) this is the little end cap looking plug that is on the wiring harness next to the plug on your distributor, without pulling this before setting the timing you will be doing more bad than good. 4) Once the PIP is pulled hook up you timing light (probe on cylinder #1 spark plug wire) then restart the car. 5) Crack the hold down bolt for the distributor slightly (should be a 13mm) just enough to spin the distributor and cap assembly clockwise or counter clockwise as needed (caution: if your wires or distributor cap are old beware, you could be in for a real shock literally)point the timing light at the timing marks and pointer (the lower left of the water pump- looks like a little arrow-)monitor the existing timing and set as needed. 6) Turn the car off reinstall the PIP, you are done. For more power set the timing to 12 - 13 degrees instead of 10 but you will need to run high test gas.(But it's worth it) Hopefully this information helps, enjoy your 5.0.
Just to add a little more info, the PIP on a 95 MustangGT is located on the passenger fender well just behind the Mass air box. It is a black plug in with a little grey square peice on the end about 1/2" wide. When you pull it out, put t in your pocket cause you don't want to loose it since you have to reinstall it after you set your base timing.
Unless the problem is the generator or alternator, in which case the same symptoms will appear. Nice try, but no cigar.
That is not entirely correct, you would be correct if reading the charging system voltage on a 12v system.
On my 4wheel 350 bruin it is around 10v and the xl250 1982 is around 8v, to check the generator/stator you need to read AC voltage and after regulator you need to check DC voltage, most people use the headlight check to see if the regulator is working fine, imo get the manual for the correct reading/maintenance procedures or elaborate on the question with the model and year of the vehicle in question.
theres 2 vacuum pipes that run to the pcv valve, one at the side of the top of the manifold and one from the very back of the manifold. once you've traced the pcv valve it simply pops straight out. good luck
where is it best acessed from the driver side or pass side?
Since you didn't state the year I am going to guess that it is between the 1986-1995 range. The DRL module is on the left side of the car behind the headlights and can accessed from underneath. It is a black aluminum box about 1-1/4" tall and 3" X 3" in size with cooling fines on top of it. there is one single connector that goes to it.
You should note that if you are in Canada, the Daytime Running Lights are MANDATORY on all vehicles sold in Canada since 1990, and disabling them may cost you a LOT of money in fines, as disabling them is against Federal law and the Highway Traffic Acts of most Provinces.
A couple of reasons...

Could be the master cylinder, booster, or the brake cylinders. If the pistons in the wheel cylinders are jammed up, you don't have any braking on that wheel at all. Does the pedal stay steady when you hold the brake down? If not, it could be a leaking master cylinder. With power brakes, if the booster isn't working it takes a lot more pedal force to apply brakes than you expect, which would also lead to long braking distances. Another thing to look for is the brake pads/shoes or rotors/drums have not glazed over. The effectiveness of the braking action will be greatly diminished with either surface being glazed - rough up the pad surface, or have the rotors lightly turned. On a similar thought, if the pads / shoes have become contaminated with grease, oils or similar, they'll need to be replaced.
You do not have to remove the hub in order to replace the disc brake pads or the rotor.
The job is a difficult one without a press, probably best to take it to a garage, I work in one and wouldn't attempt this job at home!
Possible spark plug or cables or coils need to be change. sounds like miss firing. Take to auto zone or advanced auto store to get checked for free.
In a radiator, the fluids get really hot, when things get hot they expand and then they have to go somewhere, the fluid goes into an overflow.
if they OVERSIZED the system, it will cut on and then cut right off but the interval between cutting ON the first time and cutting ON the second time in any case will be dependent on how fast the house heats back up and that depends completely on outdoor temperature, shade on the house, number of windows with the sun shining through and insulation values.
If they UNDERSIZED the system, it will never cut off.
If they got it right, the time between cut on and cut off should be at least ten minutes for a slightly warm day and get longer and longer for increases in outdoor temperature and sunshine until you reach a record hot day where it never shuts off.
you will smell rotten eggs all the time when u r driving around
You will get a "check engine" light. On 1996 and newer cars there is a plug near the drivers seat you can plug a cheap device into and it will tell you what "codes" the computer is giving. Google "car chip" Very interesting gizmo
:
If the cat is way far gone the engine will run poorly. Stalling, sputtering, hard starts, not start at all, backfire. You may actually not even get a code other than misfire or knock sensor which are symptomatic not fundamental to the problem.
If a cat has failed it needs replaced. There is no repairing a cat.
This is the 2nd year that Ford put the Fuel Injection on the 460 Engine. All you have to do is look for the Fuel Injectors on the Intake Manifold. There are 4 of them on each side.
if they are on the trunk lid, there should be carpeted panels on lid that can be removed and that will expose the wiring and light socket for your licence, to remove the socket you will need to turn it a 1/4 turn left or right and it should pop right out.
There is no actual "chime" for the backup warning. The chime is generated by the radio just like the "KEY IN IGNITION" or the "HEADLAMPS ON" chime. The Rear Parking Assist Moudle sends a signal to the BCM which requests the proper chime for the Radio to produce in the speaker(s).
There can be 1 or 2 depending on vehicle. It is for the temperature gauge and to turn on the cooling fan.
Severl things it could be if it's overheating raditor may be clog or crack or warp heads then it could be something simple like raditor cap or the thermostat even a simple oil change just have to find and test these things before you rule out what it is.
Low coolant
Cooling fan not working
Radiator plugged or air flow restricted
Defective thermostat
Collapsing radiator hoses
System "airbound"
Defective radiator cap Many things can cause engines to overheat, but it all boils down to two things: lack of coolant because of a leak or lack of proper flow. The most common cause of overheating is a bad thermostat. It could also be caused by a bad water pump not circulating the coolant. If it is leaking coolant there are many hoses and gaskets it could leak from.
1999-2003 - Fuse #4 on the fusebox in the engine compartment
1999-2003 - Relay #205 on the fusebox in the engine compartment
AnswerJust fixed ours. It is hiding inside the fender behind the left headlight. Accessible by releasing (5 Philips screws) the bottom part of the plastic fender liner, and reaching in. A 1/2 inch socket takes off the bracket, and the wire is connected by the cheapest spade lugs, which had come loose on ours.
AnswerIt should be behind the splash shield in front of the drivers side tire. Remove the screws from the edge of the shield. Behind this will be pit type fasteners remove these. The horn should be visible. It might be easier to do if you remove the front tire. Then just remove the connector and unscrew or unclip horn. Since the horn is exposed to the weather, the wire connections tend to corrode. Many times just pulling the connector off and scraping the metal will fix the problem.

its in front of the driverside wheel well. between the fender and the wheel well.
Behind the right headlight.
1995-1998 - #20 Fuse . On The Fuse panel. 25 amp
in the engine compartment, drivers side behind the battery in front of the around air filter, there is a fuse compartment. Its a mini fuse a #25 fuse. you have find the latch on the compartment to get it to open! According to the OWNERS MANUAL, fuse/relay #4 in the engine compartment fusebox covers the horns.

Another causeIn all probability the air bag clock spring is defective. I strongly recommend that you have a professional repair shop do the repair.
Why they don't work...Lets start with the basics, did you check fuses? If they are all good, check connections between the horn and harness. You might also have a short in the wires, causing it to not work. As a last resort, you may have a defective horn.
The timing is set by the computer. It calculates the advance based on the Crank Position Sensor. There is a TDC indicator. Some are on the flywheel and others on the front crank dampner. The ones on the flywheel usually have the CP Sensor on the top of the bellhousing.
