I am trying to replace a fuel filter on a 2002 Ford Explorer. The problem I am running into is; The retaining clips are off, but the fuel lines will not slide off the filter. I am wondering if I need to run the vehicle out of gas by disconnecting the fuel pump fuse, If so what number fuse? I have looked all over the internet for repair sites to help out and I can't find a solution in the Haynes Manual for this vehicle. Anyone please help....Any advice would be great.

In The Beginning: it died on me while i was driving. i was able to start it again but it was idling low. i gave it some gas but it didnt even rev the engine with the gas pedal hitting the floor. I took the alternator & the battery to be checked by 2 different Kragen stores and they both said that the battery & alternator were good. btw, this whole time all lights/cd player/power everything worked. it just didnt start.

Now: A month of not touching the car at all I decide to start it and it WORKS. At first it was running not so smooth and idling at 500 then (i guess to warm up)it started idling at 800-900. 2 laps around my block + 10mins of just running in my driveway between laps, it still runs/starts.

if theres anymore info needed ask away. i need an answer soon.

Is it because there a box of trix that only suckers buy?? Why do they try and race our American Muscle cars? Even with a turbo on that 800 pound go-kart, they still cant keep up with my stock Trans-Am!! I think "wanna-be" when I see guys driving them like race cars. Hey, how much H.P do they get with that 4 foot peice of trunk plastic sticking up in the air??

My fiance drove her Sebring for about 5 months with way too much fluid in her transmission. As a result the car went into a safemode that kept it in 2nd gear at all times and put a box over every gear on the the dash. At first the transmission would work fine most of the time, but would downshift you into 2nd even at very high speeds. However, it eventually became a problem that happened everytime we started it up, and we eventually realized that it had more than twice the highest hot limit even when the car was completely cold. I have syphoned the fluid down, but we are still having the problem with it staying in 2nd (even after resetting the battery numerous times). I really dont know what else to do, please advise if possible. Thanks.

I changed the timing and all driving belts 2 weeks ago on my Acura Vigor 92. It was going well, until recently. When I start the car, the power pump belt has trouble to drive the power pump. The belt then squeaks very loud until the pump start to be driven by the belt after about 3-5 seconds. The tension is good, and it doesn't do this before. This only happens when I start the car (in cold winter), and once the noise is gone (pump rotates smoothly), there is no sound even when I turn lock to lock at idle. Any one have an idea???

okay people, any help would be greatyl appreciated, bottom line is i took my 05 neon to the delearship this morning after it acted up on the road bucking gears and so forth- it's an auto tranny. Now i tell them of situation, say it's only got 22000 miles on it, it's under warranty. fast forwards to 5 pm, i get a call. "this car had been in an accident and had parts in the front end replaced with non chrysler parts, so your warranty is void with this." so, i call other dealership, they say we can't help your car with your extended warranty you bought with us, because it is not a dodge part, and we only cover factory parts as well." so, pretty much, i bought this extended warranty for nothing, as my radiator was already exempt from it. I need help people what can i do? it's 650 bucks to cover a part that should be covered under warranty already. is there something i can do, i am stuck. thanks for the help all.

My radiator is leaking fluid. I've been putting some in before I go places just to get around and it seems to leak pretty fast. What will happen to my truck if I constantly drive around with no fluid? How about if I drive around sometimes without fluid (not constantly)? Basically is it like I can drive around without fluid sometimes and it wont be awful bad, or is it like it can mess up my motor any time even driving without fluid for even a short period of time? I hope you understand what I am trying to say. Thanks.

All 4 tires are the same, but the rear 2 are much more worn than the front 2 which are about a year old and have a good amount of tread depth left. The rear 2 are however much older and have less tread depth although I dont think they need to immediately be replaced. My question is should they be in the back or the front? I am starting to notice more and more skidding sounds but im not skidding. You know the tire squeal when you take corners hard. Im not slipping though but I know its not far off. I dont have the money to replace any they are expensive. Oh yea and if it matters I have an all wheel drive ford explorer (97) its not 4-wheel drive, its all-wheel drive. There is a difference. Thanks!

The reason i ask this is because I used to have a 1998 white 6-cylinder Camaro coupe and I hated it completely. I spent all of my saved up $11,000 on that damn thing back in December of 2000 and got rid of it in october of 2006. I took it to a junkyard who told me over the phone before I took it there that I could smash the sh#& out of it and totally have my jollies doing it, but then the general manger apologized saying that I couldn't do that there because of policy issues. The person over the phone lied to me.
I just really wanna buy this thing to drive it around a little to remind of that car I hated for so long and then have my jollies on it, but I don't wanna spend anymore than $500 for the car..


I JUST REALLY WANNA DO TO THAT KIND OF CAR THAT I'VE WANTED TO DO TO MY CAMARO FOR THREE YEARS NOW.

thanks you, i'd really appreicate it,
Steve

I have a 1989 Cadillac Fleetwood Coupe DeVille in mint conditions that was given to me by my mother, but it has a bad crankshaft. Every mechanic i've contact in Chicago said the engine is not worth rebuilding so I would like to replace it with a quality used engine. It is a 4.5 motor and I don't have a clue where to purchase a used motor in Chicago.

I am trying to order replacement parts for the car and have found where it list the "left side" and the "right side". Are the sides determined from looking at the vehicle or sitting in it? Ie: Is the "right side" the driver's side or the passenger side?

Im wondering if anyone has done this themselves or bought something to do it? We are looking at golf carts to drive around in the desert ( live in Arizona)... most of the ones we saw the back seat is rear facing. We want to get that to be forward facing, since we want to take the kids. We dont like the idea that they are sitting rear facing. Does anyone know where you get those parts... or from personal experience... what did you do yourself to get it turned around?
