All right, so a long while ago my timing chain guides decided it was time to stop existing. My explorer still rattles down the road if I need to go somewhere, and very soon I'll be getting it fixed, so I have a few questions.
One, where can I find the reinforced metal timing chain guides? I'd like to tell the mechanic about them, so he doesn't use Ford's defective parts. Also, would it make sense to ask him to fix my blend door problem since he'll be taking the engine out of the truck?
And two, I have a second problem I need him to fix. A while back, my check engine light came on and confused autozone's computer, because it was some weird code. And then, my windsheild washer pumps broke, and the fuse blew on them too. I replaced the fuse, but they still didn't work.
Last night, me and my brother ran off to mcdonalds at night for some food, and in the drive through, I was telling him about the wipers, and I found out- lo and behold- that my washers work now! And the check engine light went off! So now I ask: what the heck kind of problem am I having if it causes the engine light and windsheild washers (front and back) to stop working??
