Is it possible to syphon gas from a Windstar?
Yes but, you don't want to do it yourself make sure you have a shock vac with a small enough hose that you can get into the gas tank.DO NOT use shop vac,gas vapors can explode from vac motor
How do you fix the washer pump on a 97 windstar?

Clicking means metal on metal and no oil in between. Check your oil, oil and filter changed?
Don't drive it if it gets worse - there is a glog somewhere - or it is too late already.
Why Odor ac air comes out from the rear?
The evaporator gets wet during use, which allows for bacteria to grow in there. Basically, your a/c system is sick. :-) You will have to disinfect the evaporator to get rid of the smell. I have heard of people using copious amounts of disinfectant spray on the evaporator and it's encasement to kill the bacteria in there.

there is a small electrical plug on the top of the transaxle; it is directly beside the mount for your clutch cable and near the end of the trans case. it should have 2 wires coming off of it.
What does the pcv valve and egr valve do?
PCV, stands for positive crankcase ventilation. Since the piston rings cannot stop every bit of combustion gases from escaping past them into the crankcase(oil pan) area, there needs to be some way to safely vent that pressure, so that it wont build up and blow the seals out of the engine. The PCV valve does this, by applying a controlled amount of vacuum to give the combustion gases a way out and keep them from building up. EGR stands for exaust gas recirculation. The EGR valve opens at the appropriate time, usually on moderate acceleration to allow exaust gas to flow back into the combustion process through the intake manifold. It is a common myth that the reason is to "re-burn" exaust gas to use any remaining unburned fuel and improve gas mileage. Anybody who gives that explanation as to why they have an EGR valve, has no idea what he/she is talking about and probably should not be working on cars. Here is the real reason there is an EGR valve: Under certain conditions, esp when the engine is hot, fuel may actually burn too quickly, and thus not burn completely. In fact, spark knock or "ping" is caused by "pre-ignition detonation," the fuel actually ignites before the spark plug sparks. Pre-ignition detonation will cause an incomplete fuel burn, loss of power, bad gas mileage, and could even damage the engine internally. Under certain conditions you may want to slow the burn of the fuel, so that it is a more complete burn, and is at the right time. That is why you introduce exaust gases into the combustion process, to slow the fuel combustion just a little, so you can get a more complete burn, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce pre-ignition detonation. Here is a side point about pre-ignition detonation. Octane actually slows the burn process as well. That is how high octane fuels work, and why they reduce ping. The higher the octane, the slower and more completely the fuel burns. But with high octane fuels, you may want to consider where you are driving. If you are planning a trip to, or live in the mountains where the air is thinner, and there is less oxygen, you probably don't need a higher octane. The reason is that, with less oxygen, the combustion will be slowed in the engine already. Why slow it down any more? I hope this information helps.
as it works or moves it gets hot and eventually over heats. think of it as a human running the person eventually gets hot
Block heater location 2003 explorer xlt v6?
I believe it goes in the front right side of the block on a 4.0 V-6. You have to remove the softplug, but before you do that drain the coolant and then you will be able to install the block heater.
What would cause a 1992 Toyota Paseo radiator fan not to turn on?
Radiator fan could be bad, fan relay bad, fuse blown. Also if your ECT (engine coolant temperature) sensor is bad the ECM (computer) won't know to tell the fan to turn on.
What causes motorcycle high speed vibration?
I'm assuming this is a recent issue, probably a tire is out of balance or a bad wheel bearing, if it a existing condition, the bike may have a bent wheel from a previous owner, if it's a modern vtwin, a bad motor mount is a possibility,
What does diagnostic code p0708 mean on a 1998 Ford Windstar?

Where is and how do you install a camshaft position sensor CPS on a Ford Windstar?
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0340 - Camshaft Position Sensor
Your cam position sensor or the wiring leading to it has gone bad. It will cause occasional rough running and hard starting until it is replaced.
AnswerLook for a thing at the front (relative to engine) of the intake manifold that looks like a great place to put a distributor. It is bigger than a quarter but smaller than a teacup, round, made of plastic. two screws attach it to the cam sensor synchro. Do not rotate the synchro unless:
1: It is necessary to do so and
2: you have the alignment too to realign the synchro.
Camshaft position sensor is where the "distributor" used to be on the same engine prior to 1995. It's at the "front" of the engine, which is on the passenger side of the car; it's a bit tricky getting to it. The best way is to (first disconnect the battery) remove the alternator (3 15mm bolts, and don't forget to unplug the regulator connector first) and move it out of the way, then look down and you'll find the round black sensor plugged into the wiring harness. It's held on with 2 small bolts (forgot the size, but I think it's 5.5mm). It's directly behind the power steering tubes and water pump by-pas tube. It's just a magnetic pickup and not common for it to go bad, however if that's your problem, and you're going to replace it, DON'T rotate the engine or your initial timing will be off. If you have to move it, use care and remove the hold-down bolt completely and use plenty of penetrating/lubricant spray. Mark the position of the sensor and rotate the whole unit, then after replacing it, be sure to put the unit back in the EXACT same position from where you started. Hope this helps!

AnswerOn top of the cam sensor synchronizer which is sticking out of the top of the timing cover on the front of the engine.
On top of the cam sensor synchonizer which is sticking out of the top of the timing cover on the front of the engine.
Disconnect the electrical connector. Remove the two 7/32 screws holding it on, and replace it.
On the 3.8L it is like a little distributor at the front of the engine in the top of the timing cover. It has been a while but I think it just has one screw and clamp holding it in. You should also have the engine on TDC #1 and mark the old one before you pull it out. This makes life a lot easier if the engine would by chance turn with the sensor removed. MGL

How do you replace lower ball joint on a 1993 Ford F150?
try going to the parts store and buying a chilton manual for the make and model of your vehicle. It has diagrams and step by step instructions. It will cost somewhere around 30 dollars of so and if you ever need to fix any other part of the same vehicle you will have it at your fingertips.
I just did my left lower ball joint in my 97 F150. I got the Chiltons and the Haynes books. Haynes is much easier to follow. Hope that helps.
