Oh, sorry. I was not aware it was a push button start. The keyed fob did require paying attention to the time suggested, and you could not 'rush it'. I think the first time I was afraid of missing the 'window' where it would keep the recognition of the first, and rushed to put the second key...

I recall getting a failure when I tried to add a third fob. I even took the new one apart to check for presence of a battery. It was from aliexpress... It had a battery. I put the thing back together and gave it another shot. Memory says you must be very deliberate in your insertion and...

The intake is plastic, and you could drill a hole for each port, poke your camera through and gander as desired. Plug the new openings with rubber plugs. You would need a tight fit... If not plugs, then cut some threads and use fittings like those used to plug the Thermactor ports on the...

As I understand recent developments, these are being forced from the public roadways by a 'package' of DOT regulations developed by an independent firm, and sold to the various state DOTs. If/when the regulation package is adopted by the state legislature, viola, no more Kei on the road in that...

Did they mention the 'potentially failing parts' by name? I wonder what could be a potentially failing part that would cause engine knocking sounds(possibly overheard by the knock sensor, I do not know what is used to set the codes in question). DId you happen to see any pictures sent to...

From your thingy under your name, you live in MI. You do not get the sun and airborne chemicals that cause the tire sidewalls to decay nearly as much as some people get elsewhere. If you see the sidewalls start to look like a wall made of tiny tiny bricks, tire 'checking', it is likely time to...

The last new car I had to drive from IN to CA when it had 53 miles on the odemeter I still own. The engine still runs very well. I tried to vary the speed with a goal of varying roughly every 20 miles. In addition I would take my foot off the gas pedal completely and let the speed coast down...

Given direct injection does not spray FUEL on the intake valves at all, why in the dickens would a fuel additive such as PEA make a donuts difference in deposits on the intake valves. PEA would not come in contact with the valves just like gasoline skips that step on direct injected engines...

Did you consider getting a 12v fan, clipping it onto the rear edge of the center console, and pointing it at the back window? Surely there is enough hot air in the front seats to travel the few feet back and keep the rear window from fogging up. You might direct the center vents directly...

The leaves that congregate at the lower end of the front fenders will really turn to mud over time. They will hold water(and salt if available) and likely end up causing corrosion of the lower fender. That was a very common problem in areas with cars and trucks in the past. The second problem...

In most cases, a FWD vehicle can expect the rear tires to have a significantly longer tread life than the front tires. The front tires handle all the load from acceleration, over half the braking load, and a good bunch of the cornering load. The rear tires are there just to keep the back end...

I have not followed the 2.5l engine and rod bearing problems. Just saw the comment title and read... that said, they must use the knock sensor to hear the noise before it becomes bad enough to cause irreparable damage... I guess. Strange it would make 'the noise' listened for while essentially...

All well and good. But. Did you HEAR anything? All the rod bearing failures I have come upon make loud rapping noises when the engine is running. The noise seems to lessen with higher rpms, but does not totally go away. I have driven a couple hundered(CHI>W Lafayette IN) miles with a bad...

If FoMoCo had adopted a more inclusive engine oil life calculator, I would agree. But. They apparently have not. When I changed my oil at the direction of the monitor the second time, it was just at 12 months, but a lot lower miles. 90% or more of the driving was highway miles, with no trips...

My experience with a FWD ecoboost is that regardkess if mileage, the monitor will indicate the need for a change at about 12 months. How long has the Motorcraft oil been installed? My impression is that the miles or time will turn on the oil change indicator. I do not think it factors in...

Raising the bumpers 1/2 turn will be my first step. It couldn't hurt. tom

Look in the back of your owners manual. There is information on how to access the shop service data. There may be links to purchase, but my manual did not offer that option. It was rental only for a fixed time period.

I have bought several vehicles new from Ford Motor. Each had information at the back of the owners manual about purchase of shop service manuals. Hard copy. Printed. I bought them for every new vehicle I bought from Ford, and for some of the used vehicles also. They are all still on the...

I have that, and may be able to drool some onto the cable sheath where it rests in the slot. If not, I will have to remove the lower panel. Too old to fit down into the pedal space readily any more, and when I try, I find I have pain things I did not even know were there. Honestly, this is a...

I have seen the video where an assist spring was added to help lift the hood free of the latch. IMO, I'd sooner cruise a boneyard to find a more suitable spring than the one used if that's the only solution. Older Rangers had a spring built into the hood(well, bolted in place) that pushed on...
