My right rear axle shaft wobbles, 98limited, 2wd. I took off the tire and rotor/hub, and the shaft definately moves. I believe it was hit when the previous owner had the car. What is involved in the replacement? Please be specific. I plan to do it myself. I also will replace any bearings...

BTW, I removed the IAC and cleaned and oiled it, twice. No more surge, and been running for 9 months.

Am I reading that right? $200.00 A??? I don't know the exchange rates, but that still sounds unreasonable. I'll be happy to pick up one at the junkyard and send at cost, but that prolly isn't fast enough for you.

I was gonna suggest the cleaner that comes in a kit with the new glue, but it may not be enough. Typically, acetone (nail polish remover) is the all-around glue dissolver, but getting it behind that little metal tab is gonna be a challenge. It evaporates pretty fast, so you may have to sit there...

I don't know the gory details on Fords, but on GM cars that's a no-no. The ECM on a GM car is programmed for EGR function. It advances the timing a bit during cruise because the exhaust gasses cause a cooler burn, and the added timing makes it more efficient (fuel efficient). If the timing is...

It's all about lawsuits. They are attempting a CYA because of all the recnt press and unGodly settlements that Ford and Firestone are shelling out. Who was it that said "kill all the attorneys?

RiverRat is the winnar!!!! I had already checked the short ground (about 4" long) that goes from the battery to the core support, as Opera House suggested. After reading your post, I searched for more ground points. There are 2 more "eyes" right behind the battery on the inner fender (just a...

Did I mention that it isn't consistant? :mad: I coudn't duplicate it today if my life depended on it. I even drove it around a while with the lights on, but I didn't have much time to diagnose. Thanks for your suggestions and I will put some of them to use tomorrow, time permitting. I did...

98 Limited. Crank car, runs fine. Turn on parking lights, all is fine. Turn on headlights, all goes to hell: dash light 99% gone/dim AC turns on to MAX left headlight very dim as well as left marker light left fog light is very dim, even tho fog lights are off left rear turn signal light...

My 98 has a hissing sound coming from the intake area. It may be normal since it is plastic but seems too loud to me. I have done the usual vac leak search and come up with nothing. It idles ok, and runs good, but the noise just makes me wonder. BTW, what were they thinking when they made...

I'm willing to bet mine is heat related. The wife complains that it happens often (maybe once a week at least), but I only saw it once over a month ago. Every time she complains, I go for a test spin after the kids go to bed. I never get the light and I even go for extended highway rides. My...

I tried to pull codes last night. OBD II scanner does not work with the tranny light. I tried anyway and got no codes. That doesn't make sense to me.

Please keep this alive. My wife's Exploder has intermittant O/D OFF light flashing. The transmission performs flawlessly and has only 70,000 miles. She gets the flashing light maybe once every 2 weeks. Never any other sign of problem.

In the heat, NO BATTERY lasts more than 4 years with daily use. I always buy the cheapest I can find with a pro-rated warranty. I replace batteries all the time and pay about $25.00 because of the warranty. I realized this after attempting to purchase the so-called "better batteries" and...

Drove it about 20 miles last night and it was smooth as glass. Maybe the MAF cleaning did do it? ??

It does it with the cruise control on and it does with the cruise control off, so I know that isn't it. Does the EGR have varying degrees of "open"? I disconnected the vac line to it and it seemed to stop, BUT that isn't conclusive since the surging doesn't happen consistently. I plan to take...

I got that light last weekend while on a road trip, just when the trip started. I pulled over, checked the fluid and read the manual that stated "have the tranmission checked". It hasn't come back on since and nothing has functioned abnormally.

Cleaned the MAF meter, no change. Any other ideas?

Nope. My 92 had no EGR. Also, I don't think Fords have knock sensors, do they?

98 Limited. The computer says ~16.2, but I haven't verified it yet. 100% city, and the wife drives harder than me.

Pumpkins? Pigs? Beams? What kinda place is this?

ttt, nobody?

Pull the injectors and have them cleaned. Sounds like one or more is stuck open with the gas smell and poor idle that smooths out at high rpm.
