    89 ford bronco with 460?

    First, make sure all of your battery connections are clean and tight and the chassis and block has a good, solid ground. Have someone put a test light or volt meter on the starter terminal while you turn the key to the crank position - if it's got 12 volts, you need a starter. If it doesn't...

    97 ford explorer heating problems?

    You will have to determine if it's a cooling system problem or a blend air door concern. I have run into a few of these that have a control problem in the blend door inside the plenum - and it's generally a rather time consuming fix. Can you hear any unusual noises under the dash when you change...

    Ford ZX2 2001. I replaced a blown fuse 2 times and on the third it blew again and...

    After replacing the fuse twice only to have it blow out, it's really not prudent to replace it a third time just to see it smoke. You have a short circuit and it needs to be repaired before you waste any more fuses. Of course it's worth fixing - it's a short circuit, not a blown engine.

    Does anyone know why the ford GT90 wasn't put into production?

    Generally, when a vehicle, especially a concept car, isn't put into production it's because the bean counters have determined that it wouldn't be profitable and the marketing people have determined that the PR and any manufacturer's upside wouldn't be worth the investment. The Ford GT was an...

    Ford 302 to 351W engine swap?

    Motor mounts are OK - the 351W is wider and taller and will require a different header pipe on the exhaust. Also, check to make sure the oil pan is compatable (front sump...rear sump....split sump and so forth.)

    Is it "sport bikes" or "sportbikes"?

    Sport bikes....sportbikes....sport-bikes........this is a relatively new word (or words) and may show up in dictionaries in the future as a new addition. Irronically, "sportbikes" triggers the spell check and suggests "sport bikes," but sport-bikes flies right by.

    Why are Ford mustangs so popular?

    It's the original pony car - going strong for over 40 years without any interruption in production. And, besides, it's absolutely the most bang for the buck available. Even with all of the hoopla and new introduction, the Mustang once again outsold the Camaro's in 2009. Kinda leaves your obvious...

    Dim Headlights 1995 Ford Taurus?

    If the headlamp covers are discolored significantly, you will need to have them polished. Most auto supply outlets sell a kit from either 3M or McGuires that does a real nice job. All you need is a drill.

    how to unjam a rod keeping valve open in ford ka 1.3?

    If you have no compression in the cylinder, there's no need to "guess" what might be wrong. Remove the valve cover and if the valve is stuck open, back off the rocker arm - if it's still open, the valve is bent. With the valves closed, put air pressure into the cylinder - if it leaks out of the...

    2004-2006 Chrysler Sebring convertibles?

    I don't own one, but I have worked on a few. I'll leave it at that because my dad used to always say that if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

    OK to drive with 1 broker cylinder?? Dodge SX 2.0?

    The dead cylinder is dumping raw fuel into the converter which will destroy it - other than that and the poor performance and fuel economy shot to hell - it's ok to drive.

    Is a '98 Ford Taurus 3.0L bent valve normal?

    I have just finished tearing down the top end of a '98 Taurus for a misfire in cylinder 1. Pre-checks showed there was no compression in this cylinder. All other cylinders were fine. I found a bent exhaust valve and evidence that the exhaust valve had contacted the piston - (whether this was...

    are hemi's only in chrysler cars?

    Not by a long shot - although it is most familiar and more often associated with Chrysler because they trade-marked the term "Hemi" for their marketing campaigns. Check out this site: http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemi_engine

    "the truck has all the original parts apart from a new carb" You answered your own question. Along with a good tune up, the choke assembly needs to be repaired and adjusted.
