OMG! Get this one. I bought this vehicle from Matthews Kia Motors in Vestal, NY as used in may 08. Two days after purchasing it, the engine light came on....
The knock sensor will not cause the problems that you are having. Replacing it will not fix your van. It will only cost you time and money and you'll still...
Hi, A faulty knock sensor is NOT the problem. The knock sensor is a passive sensor [like the oil pressure and fuel tank level sensors] that merely senses...
Sounds much like low fuel pressure. get someone to test the fuel pressure. The sputtering will set the KS code because of the vibration, but there are no...
I have 97V with 200+k miles. For a combination of highway and city, I've got 22 mpg. The 2nd row of seats was removed from the car and the front o2 sensor...
Hey, 22 combined is good. I have 95 (purchased 2005 with 79 k miles and rebuilt motor (sweet)) I too remove the rear seat for max performance but I run my...
Robert, This seems to be a very good deal, even if you just change the valve cover gaskets. Besides the valve cover gaskets, it looks like it includes the...
Couple of questions if I may... I have the manual, but I just want to make sure I really understand what I'm doing here. :) 1996 villager. Before I put the...
David, I suggest you look at the numerous T/B files on the V/Q files site. There are many helpful suggestions. Thats what this site is all about putting...
I have a 1995 Quest with a coolant leak behind the intake manifold. The leak is coming from a small "L" shaped hose. The hose is about 3 inches by 3 inches...
Dave, We had that same exact problem...unfortunately we were on a New York Expressway when it happened...apparently, one of the clamps had broken and the...
Ray, You did good with your 95. I may try your way to increase the air pressure. But isn't that dangerous? Now I am also puzzled by two things here. Why...
Dan, That was very good luck to be close to help. If it's the same hose and location, you probably saved at least a $100 to $200 by having a F-O-A-F do the...
Dave, I had to replace this hose about 2 years ago on my '96 Quest and you are right that it is not easy but it can be done. Look at message #33553 for my...
David, thanks. It's good top know the job is possible without removing the intake manifold. I have a couple of questions: A. Were the needle nose vice grip...
Hi, Once in a while when starting the engine, it sort of rumbles and runs very roughly. Usually this only lasts maybe 30 seconds, but today it lasted for ...
So, of those, what would most likely cause this once in a while at cold start? Seems like a malfunctioning BPA is the most likely, no? Obviously hard to...
The diagnostic list was put out by the Ford people to educate shop mechanics. The complete list can be found under the "trouble-shooting" folder. The list is...
I forgot to add that the list is a generic list and not specific to the V. It therefore lacks detail in its choices, like it does not detail the MAF or any...
Hi, To add to Charlie's Info, look at the rotor cap for a microscopic crack. Vitally ... From: Charlie To: villagerquest@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, April...
If you want to drive it for a couple of days in the safe mode, without A/C<<< "Stick" a U shaped wire under the radiator cap air relive valve so it won't hold...
Dave Get only the "Right" pre-formed hoses and from Nissan, for a trouble free install and so it will last for a while. Look at the pictures on the photo...
Dave, A. Yes the needle nose locking pliers were the 6" size. B. I lowered the front end of the brace member between 3" and 4" I guess, the endine will lower...
If someone felt inspired and had the time they could put together a file covering all the hoses on the back side of the engine showing location and techniques...
Charlie, I might be able to do that. I currently have my 96 Villager opened up with both intake manifolds off and lots of pictures. I have ordered some of the...
Thanks to all for the help and suggestions. I think I'll try to remove/replace the hose with the engine in place. I feel a little uneasy moving the engine,...
Ok, I've done all that. I've read and reread everthing I can find on this subject till I'm blue in the face. :) I cannot get the new belt to go on! I can get...
