I said no such things.
all that I did was...

oh I know my spelling sucks, all be the first one to say that.

I was not looking for a fight at all, I shared my opinion then you called me out. so I told you how I felt about that. and im looking for a fight?

Im not a ford tech, I have never worked for ford. nor am a I really big for fan of ford.

The 3.0L in the escape is a great engine that ford has been making for many years. yes it dose have some...

I dont buy cars, I work on cars all day. and the escape dosent have too many problems compaired to other vehicals on the road.

Any vehical has a huge amout of problems, nothing lasts forever. Allmost every vechical on the road will leak fluid from hose crimps, allmost every GM ever built has piston slap and half of the...

what?
the company you work for dose not own you. what you do on your personal time is your business. as long as you are not taking away any customers from the place you are employed at.
If you do...

Im not at all starting a argument, I work on alot of euro stuff and there not cheap to own, seeing a oil change on this car is over $100. $220 isnt bad.

If $219 is too much for you, you should not be buying a volvo plain and simple. That is probably going to be the cheapest bill your going to get handed owning that suv.

scanning and programming are two very different things.
a cheap code reader will pull up only global obdII engine codes. a vin specific scanner will get you all manufacture codes along with tranny,...

this is kinda true but not. you have to be really carefull. Look at land rovers, when your doing rear rotors you have to follow a special adjustment procedure or the parking brakes will lock on and...

word.

It may be the weak point, like I said online is one thing, but in the shop is different. most techs wont replace the brushes just to cover there ass. If the customer requests a half ass repair, and...

I gave the napa price because it takes me like 2 seconds to look it up. Im sure the guy is going to be putting in a reman instead of a $500-700 new oe one on a 13 year old car.
If im the tech...

alldata is saying its 5.2 hours to replace the starter. And a reman starter from napa is $300. so really your looking at about $1000.

If there is a leak you will see a build up of a bright green goo, or black oil where a leak is. The most commen places are hose crimps and the shrader valves on the service ports.

Dont ever put that stuff in your car.
most of those silly bottles dont have r134a in them. They have propane, butane and God knows what else in them. Then when you get your system re-charged...

Ive been using torque sticks for about 10 years now, and I have yet to have a wheel come off, knock on wood. If you want to put things into perspective, what is the difference between a tq stick and...

There are two fuses in the fuel pump circuit. One for the control side of the relay and one for the switched side. If the fuel pump relay is sticking and you pull the contol relay out (fuse 17) the...

half splines go in the side with the steady bearing.

Ive done alot of head gaskets on civics also. Really I see alot of hg failers on every make and model. The hg takes the biggest beating out of any gasket in the engine.

You may not be burning any...

I sounds more like the release bearing to me. the clutch kit should come with a new one. maybe its just a dud bearing. When dual mass flywheels fail, you will get clunking and vibrations.

the yellow wire off of the lc1 unit it the analog out for your ecu (yellow wire gose to o2 ecu input). when you pump the brakes, your just taking some vacuum off of the engine. you will have to have...

what wideband do you have? alot systems use the bosch lsu4 sensor. The lsu4 is the pre cat o2 on alot of vw's and can be found at any part store. some wide bands have a wire comming off the unit for...

these trannys are bad for stripping converter/pump splins. but to me it sounds like clutch/band or gear train problems.
it would have to be one big motherfucken clog to block off flow to the tc.

you can machine drilled rotors, you just take off a thou on each side per cut. Instead of 2-3thou per side.

under hard braking, the pads will start to give off gas. This gas will build up...

been there done that, get a new block.

the last time I helicoiled a b16, I had to get two coils down the hole. that required me to make a installer out of a old head bolt. and weld a 1/4...

the two biggest gray areas of the automotive industry are opi's and insurance inspections. due to the fact that they are up to the descression of the technician.
when I do a opi, Im going to rake...

to get it into neutral, wiggle underneith the truck. and pop off the range slector and move it into neutral.

so you spend $70 000 on a truck, and some asshole walks into a dealership and gets a key made for your vehical and drives away with it. Im sure you will change your mind after that. If your getting...

a cat is clogged or not, and it will be clogged hot or cold. im still thinking its a vacuum leak.

start up the engine cold, hold at 2000rpm. the upper rad hose will get hot first. when the t-stat opens the lower rad hose will get hot. if the t-stat is stuck open both upper and lower hoses will...

this is so truthfull its not even funny.

If your fairly happy with the power of your current set up, why not spend like $100 and get your problem diagnosed instead of spending 1000's going to a...

the good old coil pack failer.
you have one coil pack fail, nissan recomends to replace all 6. then nissan learns how to use a scope and says oops our bad after 1000's of owners spend huge money...

you can also check the efficiency in mode 6 with just general global OBDII. you dont need vag com, but it dose make it easier.

In north america as per law, all vehicals sold must be able to run off 87 ron+mon with out any damage to the catalyst or the engine. is it the best, no. If the maunfacturer says its best to run 91,...

right here.

The zirconium dioxide, or zirconia, lambda sensor is based on a solid-state electrochemical fuel cell called the Nernst cell. Its two electrodes provide an output voltage corresponding...

i belive most cars have a zirconium dioxide sensor that will produce low voltage when in high o2 content.
