I wonder if there's a solution in custom shocks. I'm sure it would be expensive, but it's an option. Chris Alston's Chassisworks, Inc.; Chassisworks - Custom Builder Shocks

I just realized that the drivability problems that nagged me, thinking it was a result of a poorly programmed transmission, was a result of traction control. Delayed throttle response on takeoff, delayed downshift, etc., goes away when I turn off traction control. I don't need it anyway. Is...

I cleared the codes prior to getting the result. 2004.

My defroster wasn't blowing enough air, so I used Forscan to check the diverter and got failures on all three. Codes 1262, 1263, and 1265. Defrost diverter, cold air bypass, and floor diverter. Anyone else run into this?

I just replaced the foam surrounds in my THX speakers. Worked out well.

Very likely a vacuum leak. Easist to find and most overlooked cause of misfires. Will usually get worse as it warms up as the cold enrichment covers up the lean condition.

The "feature" the LS has of turning off the stereo when you open the door drives me nuts. Anyone find a way to disable this? Makes it hard to enjoy tunes outside the car.

Good info. Glad you found it. In my experience a vacuum leak at the manifold doesn't throw a code, but you will get some occasional misfire codes.

Vacuum leak. Loose hose connection or bad intake gasket. Try spraying carb cleaner around the intake seal and see if you don't hear a change in the idle.

I'm thinking intake manifold leak. It runs good while the cold enrichment is going, but leans out after warm. If you can keep it running after warm, try spraying carb cleaner ot propane around the manifold to see if it suddenly runs better.

I have the same problem. I looked at the workshop manual and found that speaker diagram shown, but didn't find how to pull the package shelf. Found this:

Weird. I've replaced both front regulators at different times on my Gen II and never paid attention to position or initializing. Just swapped the motor over to the new regulator. All work normally.

I had the same problem with new bottles cracking. Then I bought a Dorman brand and found it was much thicker in the area where the others were cracking. I'm on 7 months so far without a leak.

If your car isn't overheating when sitting still it probably isn't your fan pump. I agree that the fan probably isn't being triggered to turn on when the AC is on. Yours is the classic symptom of the fan not turning on. On older cars there was a switch in the instrument panel that sensed to...

A turbo kit for under $900 should tell you something's amiss. Take a look at their negative reviews.

Just thought I'd pass on a tip. I needed a door latch for the right rear door, and found the latch assembly from a 2004 Ford Escape is the same part. It's installed now and working, so it's verified. All you have to do is swap the actuator rod and cable from the old one. Only takes a few...

I just went through the same thing. The first tank I got developed a very small crack in the web at the bottom of the tank. It only leaked under pressure. I got the Dorman brand replacement from O'Reilly, and it was way thicker in that area. I expect this one to last a lot longer.

I have the same problem. I did a reset and was able to see the test complete in about 3-4 days of driving. Somewhere I have a document that specifies the test conditions. Something about outside air temp when starting. I was able to sneak it through the smog test. I've found on several vehicles...

In my experience most of the places that advertise refurbished PCM's just replace yours with a used unit. They might program it, but they don't work on them. They give a lifetime guarantee because they don't invest any time in repairing them. IMO any refurbishment would include replacing all the...
