ac go on and offFreon level being low would be the most common reason. Fortunately we have a step by step troubleshooting guide. Our automotive air conditioning troubleshooting guide will help assist you in diagnosing the cause of the issue you are having with your ac.
My dashboard has this foggy/moisture look going on. I believe it is on the inside as a wipe of a finger does nothing. How can I clean/fix this? Or is this something with my defroster seeping in? FYI, car is still under warranty if it is some kind of leak. Thanks in advance!
If the car is under warranty you may be best served by contacting them and letting them know of the situation. They should let you know if this is something that is going to be covered under warranty. I would not touch it until you contact them. If they decide not to cover it then you will need to dig into it deeper. Moisture on the inside is not very common. Disassembly may be required.
Generally the only thing that will create a foggy look is an evaporator core leaking. And this will create a foggy look on the inside of the windshield.
I have no spark, already changed ignition coil, ignition module, pick up coil, spark plugs,wires, and distributor cap. I have 12 volts at the coil but when i put a good spark tester on i get no spark. I’m at my witts end please help
The next step would be to check the wiring harness. Being as old as it is the wiring may have become damaged. Also check and clean any ground connections. Use the wiring diagram to help trace and check the wiring on your vehicle.
Can I put a 1.9 4 cyl with transmission from a 1993 ford escort Lx into a 1998 ford escort se..? If i can…will i have to change or modify anything ?
Simple answer. No
Long answer. Anything is possible. You would have to change the computer system and wiring and mounts and exhaust and sub-frame and, and more work than it is worth in my opinion. Then you would be looking at being held to a different standard when it came to any emissions checks.
Here are the wiring diagrams for the transmissions for both vehicles for a quick visual comparison.
Okay limp mode and mechanic wrench symbol on dash !
Changed batteries new ones then someone suggested alternator replaced that new one
Nothing changed towed back home 250 km then lights went off

Idle speed rise and fallCar started but could hear idle speed rise and fall. Headlights or radio did not work any more. As soon as put in gear car would stall. That’s about as simple as I can make it so some idea will be appreciated. 🙂 1990 ford mustang gt 5.0 liter EFI. distributor type. 4 speed trans.
Sounds like an electrical issue that is most likely related to some poor connections at the battery.
After I have driven my car, the next time I start it, the temperature gauge jumps up and the car smells like something is hot. It will also rise if I am idling at red light or when the key is on, but the car is not running. After a few seconds, the gauge will start to drop and return to normal temperature. The coolant reservoir is full and I cannot find a reason for the temperature gauge to be spiking. It does not do it during the winter, when the weather is cold or the first time I start my car, only in warm weather and after I have already driven the car that day.
The plastic tubing around my battery cable also melted off. I am not sure if this is related, but it seems unusual. Any ideas what could be causing the spike in the temperature gauge and the hot smell?
HummingI’ve been having problems with my exhaust on it not being built it up correctly and rattling at first I thought it was the humming coming from the exhaust. But then I had pulsing in the brakes and now there’s a very loud hum.
I am wondering if my car goes up to 2 or 3 rpms before it shifts does that mean my transmission is going?
Loss of power, struggles to reach 25 mph. Trouble codes: p1120, po113, po403, po511. I replaced TPS sensor. Checked for vacuum leaks and seem to hear vacuum leak at egr valve. What to do?Also, when idling,is there supposed to be constant vacuum to the egr valve?
The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) responds to the accelerator pedal movement. The TPS is a rotary potentiometer sensor that provides a signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) that is linearly proportional to the throttle plate/shaft position. As the TPS is rotated by the throttle shaft, the following operating conditions are determined by the PCM:
