Maintenance & Repairs - February 2007

My car was running fine. One day I drove it (there was no trouble starting it), went to drive it back home a few hours later and it wouldn't start. All of the lights, windows, radio, wipers, everything worked. It was really cold out and I didn't have hardly any gas. After trying to get it to start for about ten minutes, it finally started. I went straight to the gas station and filled up, thinking that may have been the problem. It worked fine for another couple of days and the same thing happened. I played that game for a week or two, with sometimes it starting and sometimes it not. Well, now it won't start it all, no matter how long I mess with it or what I do. It doesn't make any weird noises, no clicking, no grinding, nothing. I doubt it's the battery or the alternator or the starter... but then again, I don't know anything about cars. Any ideas of what it could be? Does it sound electrical? Is there something I should try at home before taking it in?

During an ice storm the rear wheels on my '89 Astro would keep turning despite appying brakes, very dangerous, the fronts work fine. The "brake" light on the dash is not on and there are no flash codes from RWAL computer. When raised onto jack stands, I can duplicate the condition by putting it into gear. I have to use the parking brake, or shut the engine off, to get them to stop before putting tranny back into park.

Mechanical inspection showed rear brakes in good shape and move when brakes are applied. Bleeding did not help. During bleeding, the brake light did not come on, but the light works when tested? Three choices appear to be master cylinder, proportioning valve or rear antilock valve. I would like to get it the correct one on the first try.
Thanks,
Steve

I have seen some online pictures of a duratech focus which had a timing chain set up instead of a belt. I am not sure if it was an aftermarket configuration or not. Does anyone know? My Focus is a 2005 model year with the standard 2.0L Duratech (non PZEV version).
