No. The knock sensor alerts you to the fact that there is an engine vibration that needs attention. Mine has been awaiting replacement for six months.

Timing is not adjustable.

Consult the sticker in the door jamb for the correct tire size.

There are two.

Under the hood, right side, in low pressure line.

Trouble code P1490 means: EVAP System Vacuum Cut Bypass Solenoid Circuit Malfunction

There is generally no reason to replace an oil pump unless the engine is being rebuilt. Low oil pressure is usually the result of worn internal engine bearings, not a bad oil pump. The oil pump normally produces much more oil pressure than the engine needs.

Good luck with that fan motor. The blade is fused to the motor shaft an will most likely break when you try to separate them thus, the new motor they sell you will be useless.

The A/C does not contain Freon. Contains R-134. If you are having to add refrigerant, it means you have a leak. It is illegal to add without first fixing the leak. Special tools are required to repair and add refrigerant. Take it to an A/C specialist.

Pull the ashtray out utill stop. Push the heat shield downward and give a little more pull, the ashtray will pull away from the housing. With flash light look up at the ashtray housing, you should be able to locate 2 Philips screws. Undo these screws and the whole housing will drop, the light bulb bracket located between these two screw holes. Twist the bulb housing, pull the bulb. It takes #74 wedge bulb.

That fuse is located in the Power Distribution Box next to the battery. However, this fuse control all the power windows. So, if the other windows function, look for a loose connector or a broken wire to that side.

There are many, many things that can cause the MIL to light up. You will need to have the problem diagnosed by first reading the codes and going from there.

It's very difficult, if not impossible to siphon gas out of late model vehicles due to anti-spill and security features.

There are several things that can cause your 1998 Mercury Villager rear fan to stop working. The most common cause is a disconnected or corroded ground wire.

because when your driving, air goes up under the car. And since a car has a frame, air hits it really hard causing it to shake. example, planes offend have turbulence. its because air is going under the wings the wrong way and making it lose balance and shake. Same thing as the car except its not a plane.

The vehicle's speed sensor, which is mounted on the output shaft of the transmission (some later models with mechanical speedometers have the speed sensor mounted behind the speedometer) sends electrical pulses to the computer, pulses which are generated through a magnet that spin a sensor coil. When the vehicle's speed increases, the frequency of the pulses also increases. Note that for any given speed of the vehicle, there is a corresponding pulse frequency. It is this pulse frequency which the cruise control tries to maintain as a constant. Speed sensors are usually made up of a toothed metal disk mounted on a rotating shaft and a stationary detector covering a magnetic coil.If the vehicle speed sensor fails, the cruise control system will not get a speed signal. If this is the case, most probably, the speedometer will usually stop working as well.

It should be displayed on the sticker inside the drivers door jam or door itself depending on the year of the vehicle. Could also be located on the dealership web site.

If your seat is in a track...there are three levers on the rear seat you need to be familar with. On the side of the seat closest to the slider on the passenger side of vehicle there is a loop type lever you pull to adjust the back of the seat. Under the bench of the seat is two more levers, these are what aide in moving the seat. There is on lever closer to the center of the bench than the other, it's rectangle shape. Pull this lever and the bench portion of the seat should want to fold up to the back of the seat. Next you pull the other lever that looks kinda like a finger, this allows you to move the whole seat along the track. Make sure you pull up you carpet mats before trying to move the seat. If you plan to move larger items and you only have two passengers...I suggest removing the two bucket seats in the middle row, then the back seat will fold up and move to the back of the front seats.

If it is anything like my 99 f-150, then you might try pulling the stearing wheel and there is a part that looks similar to a spool of tape, it is actually a wiring assembly. On mine, the wire tape had got folded backwards and snsped in half. Just a suggestion, hope it helps

Don't know where except in a repair manual. However, this can be easily figured out. There are two banks of cylinders ; left and right or front and rear if you prefer. The rear bank is odd numbered cyliders and the front bank is even numbered cylinders. Number one cylinder is on the rear bank far left followed by #3 in the center and #5 to the far right. The front bank has #2 cylinder on the far left followed by #4 in the center and #6 to the far right. The distributor rotates counterclockwise. #1 should be close to the two o'clock position. Firing order is 1-2-3-4-5-6

Yes , the 3.3 liter - SOHC - V6 engine in a 1999 Mercury Villager has a TIMING BELT

Both Fords scheduled maintainence guide and the Gates website ( they make timing

belts etc. ) show that the timing belt should be changed at 105,000 miles

A screwdriver and a 10mm socket wrench.

EGR Flow malfunction

Under the dash slightly to the left of the steering column.
