My car starts but when put in drive its very sluggish but when I put it in reverse it does not do it.

You don't want to use a car with a flashing check lightOn a Ford, that is a Class A Cylinder MisfireThe problem was put in there, I assume, from workthat wasn't checked before returning your carCould have vacuum leaks with the new manifoldShould have smoke tested after the install,road tested,looked at all data,mode #06 misfire counts,etc

When they removed their wig wag and siren from my car, they cut the c.r. ap out of the wires. What a mess! Took a piece of wire (with both ends stripped) to test with... stripped a small area on each wire, and touched the test wire to the bare spot and the battery, until the horn sounded... that is the wire we used. Then, using a push button bought at Auto Zone ran a doubled wire inside the cab, cut it and placed one end on each side of the button... under the hood, one end of the new wire connects to the one that made the horn sound, and the other end of the new wire connects to the battery. Use electrical tape to cover every wire that was shaved, the ones used AND the ones not used. NOT PRETTY... but we have a horn.

solenoid /starter motor

could be your heater core. does it seem to steam out the vents? any funny smells? check your coolant level to see if it is low. OR (and I dont recommend) you could do the taste test of the fluid. if its sweet its coolant.

there is two adj. up and down ,left and right.problem to adj. is wont move,corroded.set screw is head lights.

well it could be a fuse or the wire under the dash that plugs into back of it came loose.

hope you saved the old seats.test your old sensors with a ohm meter then test the new seat sensor to see if they test the same.if they don't you will have to swap out the sensors

hmmmmm sounds like it needs a tuneup change the air filter so it will breathe in clean air put some fuel injector cleaner so it will clean the injectors and get more gas to the system and change the spark plugs so that you are sure that your a getting good fire beacuse a misfire will cause your vehicle to run poorly also do the oil and inspect the hoses and lines from the EGR Valve and the hose on the intake

PUT A GOOD THERMOSTAT. AND GASKET. AND REST

Try replacing the fuel filter. you would be surprised at what a filter can do!

A dead battery will need about 16 hours to charge on slow charge.Its not the voltage that you are looking to test its the amperage or to test voltage under load eg. when the starter motor is eing operated.Or could be tested with a load tester.

the smoke is probably coolant steam and the sweet smell is the unique aroma of engine coolant (anti-freeze). check the carpets, they may be wet with coolant. most likely a heater core failure.
