    Strange A/C problem

    Also, if you want to check your compressor clutch, just unplug the low pressure cycling switch located close to the Accumulator. Best to do it with the engine running and the A/C on. Unplug the connector, then take a look at the compressor clutch. If it is not spinning, the clutch is fine...

    Strange A/C problem

    When the clutch kicks in, it makes a noise that sounds like a click. When the charge level is low, this clicking will be somewhat rapid. It won't be like multiple clicks over the course of a second, but more like 5 seconds between clicks. To your question about what the cooling fans have to...

    Car dies ALL the time.

    The gauge sweep has nothing to do with the IAC. I believe when turning the key to start, it removes power from the dash in an attempt to ensure the starter gets enough power to turn the engine over. Next time you get in your car, turn it on (without starting). Turn the radio on, then start...

    02 sensor question

    I'm not aware of a way to incorrectly install an O2 sensor. They only plug into the harness one way and have openings all the way around the portion that installs into the exhaust pipe. That said, Bank 1 refers to the side of the engine that houses the #1 cylinder. On Ford engines, that...

    Random, high idle?

    2 thoughts... first thought, if you can identify a mod where it started doing this, undo that mod and see what happens. A MAF is simple to replace for testing purposes, especially if you still have the stock unit. As a secondary thought on the MAF, are you using the stock MAF electronics...

    GM is also not scared to use new technology, even if they haven't converted to an OHC performance engine. Example, "Displacement on Demand" (DOD) or "Variable Displacement"...whatever GM calls it...Ford has not introduced this technology in ANY vehicle that I know of, yet GM and Dodge have both...

    2010 camaro

    The somewhat bland design was the point...if you remember the 64 GTO was a very bland car. It was a plain jane midsized coupe with a big engine shoehorned into the engine bay. (I say shoehorned, but truth be known you could stand in the engine bay with the engine installed) The car blended...

    Brakes sticking and I'm at my wits end

    The problem you're looking at points squarely at an ABS problem. The brake system pressures should NOT be increased simply by starting the engine. The hydro-boost system does not increase brake system pressure, it simply replaces the vacuum type brake booster. Do the brakes lock up by simply...

    Brakes sticking and I'm at my wits end

    IMO this guy seems to be on the right track don't mess with unbolting the MC until you have disconnected the harness to the ABS module which is at the RF of the engine bay mounted to the inside of the frame rail. Good luck

    Code #P0441 anyone have this?????

    P044x codes are difficult to diagnose. However, without actually looking at your car, I think your problem has to do with the Purge Solenoid and Purge Flow Sensor. it could be that the solenoid quit working or the flow sensor is not reading properly. Either way, if you replace one, replace...

    Small Imperfections

    from my experience it is difficult to correctly turn drilled/slotted rotors. Most shops will not touch them because of the possibility that it may (more than likely will) ruin the "blade" due to the constant grabbing when it comes to the drilled/slotted spots. As for the plastic piece, I...

    Fuel Pump Fuse Blows

    first and foremost... Fuses don't just blow, something is causing a higher amperage draw than the circuit is intended for. You will need to figure out exactly what all is on the same circuit, then figure out what is causing the fuse to blow. It could be a locked up fuel pump (or in the...

    Blown engine....does this explanation sound feasible?

    Personally I'd pull the head to inspect the combustion chamber. If something was dropped into the runner and made it's way into the chamber, the head should be beat up in that chamber. I would use a third party shop to disassemble the motor on that side for examination purposes. A lot of...

    sometimes hard to get into reverse

    I'm interested in reading these TSBs. Anyone have a link to them? My 3650 is exhibiting BOTH of these issues, but is way out of warranty. I can't really afford to pay Ford to do this and I'm not scared to pull a manual tranny apart. Although if it is not much more, I would be more than...
