    Car ran fine one day then the next morning, turn key and nothing. Lights and radio and all work when you turn the key but it doesn't even try to turn over. So far I checked all the fuses, the battery and the starter. Last check I put my test light on the solenoid and got power when the key was...

    Has anyone had this happen? I stopped for a coffee and when I got back in and turned the key, all i got was a click then the alarm started going off and nothing I did would stop it.

    Help me diagnose noise!

    This is driving me nuts! The other nite I'm turning to pull into a parking spot and I hear a loud knocking from under the hood. I sat there and tried to figure out what it was and noticed that if I bring up the RPM a little more it goes away. I was thinking power steering pump because as I sat...

    96 airbag code 12

    I got this last night. I checked all the fuses and they are good. The alt was replaced about a month ago. I'd really like to fix this without taking it to the dealer. As far as my diagnostic skills can take me, it looks like I need a new airbag diagnostic monitor. Has anyone had the same problem...

    Tough to discribe

    Tough to discribe. How much $ if it is a broken flexplate? I have been getting this extra "thud" when the engine turns over for about a week now and I can't figure it out. It runs fine, idles smooth. It's just when I start it, once the combustion kicks in something "thumps". All I can think of...

    4/26/04 X won't start!!

    Came home from work, parked it for a couple hours, went to go back out and it will not start. Cranks fine, runs on starting fluid so I'm assuming it's a no fuel situation. I don't hear the pump kick on when I turn the key so I checked the fuse and relay, they are fine. I don't know what else to...

    Crazy shock prices!

    I need new shocks, OEM are fine for me. I was feeling lazy the other day so I called around thinking it shouldn't be too much in labor....Well, I was wrong. Ford wanted $400, the Monroe place wanted $280 and sears wanted about the same and those last two both told me i needed a front end...

    It never ends! More codes.

    CEL came on yesterday, P0304 and P0153. Checked the plug and wire on #4 and they looked good. Both are only a couple months old and Motorcraft. Oils fine, coolant is not going anywhere and it's running fine. I was hoping to see the wire melting to the back of the EGR, but it's fine. Just once I...

IAC is only a couple months old, DPFE is only a couple months old, TPS is about a year old ang I cleaned the MAS a...

    Head replacement quote?

    Ford quoted me 6 hours labor to replace one head. I decided to have them do both since it would be all apart. The only extra labor to replace the other side would be to take off the other header and the alt. bracket. For that they are charging me 11 hrs! Am I missing something?

    Is this from a bad head gasket?

    Felt a little miss today so I changed the plugs. Everything looked good until the last one. It was damp and the electrode is green! Should I drive this until I can get it looked at?
