The cooling fans can draw about 10 to 15 amps each, more on start up. You can cut the connectors off at a salvage yard. Ford may have a pitail kit for the...
You should absolutely replace the water pump at this time since you are doing major surgery anyway and this is the easiest time. Use a replacement of American...
Gerry, Yes, the pins which connect to the relay got ''welded'' onto the relay. Defecting/cutting the wires was the only apparent option for removing. Also, by...
I've had my van now for a few months. We've got it to run great other than a little miss when it idles. We've put in a new distributor, changed plugs, timing...
Hello there. I have a '01 Villager Estate With 41,000 Miles and am having what i hear is a common problem, A P0325 Knock Sensor. Now i fully hear out the...
I guarantee you it is not the knock sensor. You are throwing away $600 if you replace it. This sounds like a fuel pump that is not maintaining 35 psi with...
"You might consider the GENTLE use of vice grips for the inner cam (next to the fire wall)." I haven't done the timing belt job but did see a YouTube video...
First step is to add a couple of cans of R134a and see what happens. If it's better, you may have a slow leak. If yes, you can have someone add some dye to...
Sure - why not except you have to get out the trusty pocket knife to cut the zip ties - I like the small vice grips - no cutting in a tight area, but give it a...
Yes the check engine light is on, but because hubby knocked out all the charcoal because it was stopped up. I had the codes ran the other day and it says of...
Hmm, i never thought about fuel, and the pump does make the odd loud noise when priming in the morning, and relating to the A/C, I found the way to trick up...
The check valve is part of the pump - not serviceable. Get a genuine Nissan or Ford pump. There is a guy on ebay selling just the pump, without sender for...
Ok, ignore the P0325. The cat overheated and plugged up becuase too much raw fuel got into the converter and it overheated trying to treat all the unbuned...
I am new to this group and have the same year villager with the same raw gas smell at fill up and when I first shut the engine off. Is there a thread here...
If I suspect a leak in the AC I add some R134a 'with stop leak.' I've found it works well on small leaks. You probably won't find it in the auto parts store....
Oh and I forgot to say thank you on our last posts. I needed to add something else. I have noticed that when you first start out and get to a stop sign, at...
Gerry, hubby didn't do anything but gut out the converter. He done that before we discovered that it was the distributor making the van throw fits, then not...
You have a heater pipe leak. It is under the intake and cost me abot $300 to have fixed. No time to do it my self. It is a $30 hose (shop price) make sure the...
Michael, Don't they carry some at Autozone now? My husband said something about it and that it was 45 dollars a can and comes with the thing that fills it. I...
Hi Gerry, Solution to my air bag light. I had taken the fuse out for the interior lights while I detailed the car so they wouldn't drain the battery. I put...
Hey Guys, My van is approaching 200K and I have a small outter coolant leak on front drivers side. I say outter because it is not entering the cylinder. I...
About 2 years ago I started having issues with our 98Q with the battery and brake lights coming on. For 6 months prior, they would both flicker on and off in...
Well Group, Finally the 97 is burning fuel once again. Many thanks to all. It has been a long journey. It started out with the water pump going. So I decided...
Hi, I have an issues that just popped up this morning with my 95 Villager. I was fixing a bad brake light switch yesterday and was constantly applying brakes...
I have owned my 97 since 01 with only 48k miles on it when I purchased it. Since then i have replaced many part through the year. Since many parts come with...
If your van is rust-free or rust-minimal then you have a rebuilt beauty. ________________________________ From: Daniel Williams <dancwilliams@...> To:...
If it's missing at idle, then it's not running great. If the catalyst is not working efficiently, it will never run right, and you will get constant check...
It is low on rust. The Rockers are starting to rust a bit and a portion of the back hatch. I had a very rusted passenger side door, but I was lucky to get one...
Benson: Make sure there is a small amount of play in the rod that connects to the brake pedal and pushes the master cylinder. There is a small hole in the...
