1997 Ford Falcon - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Have you disconnected any other wires at the fuse box

What is wrong with it

There should be one screw on the top of the indicator, remove it and the whole thing should slide forward and out.

The leads are still mixed up so you need to ascertain which is number one, two three cylinder and make sure the correct lead goed to the correct spark plug and distributor contact. If the engine runs but runs rough you likely only have two wires mixed up. Pull on wire at a time off. If the engine stalls or runs worse put it back on. Do this until you find two wires that do not affect the engine running when you pull them off and it will be these two that are interchanged. It will likely be easiest to do this at the distributor end. If you do not wan to get a shock do it with good rubber gloves on or pull a wire off with the engine off and see if it starts and if it does you likley have pulled of a wire that should be connected somewhere else. GOOD LUCK.

Pretty easy.....behind the bulb in the engine bay, you will see the lead that goes into the headlight assembly. There is a spring lock that holds the globe in. Just pull it out and replace.

If the cooling system has not lost coolant there is no fault . there is moisture in the exhaust system from sitting so long. should clear up when the engine dries the system out. Keep a eye on the coolant level or may be change it.

look under the steering wheel, and follow the brake pedal,there should be a switch close close to the firewall

Look on ebay

Ran over the Duracell bunny? sorry. clean it off and the watch later in day (run) to see what leaks?

have you checked all your leads and sparkplugs?

Watch some You Tube Video on that

Remember to start tightening the bolts from the middle of the head each side and work your way out evenly ! First to 40 Nm Then to 90 Nm in the same order you did the first time !

DOT 3

check the solenoid on petrol line from fuel pump to carburettor is switching off petrol to carburettor when switching, you should hear the solenoid clicking when operating. Alternatively you can disonnect pipe fueline at carburettor, turn key ,if petrol comes out of line make sure it shuts off when you turn switch from petrol to LPG

The flow of the exhaust appears to be too much. There has to be sufficient back pressure for correct combustion. Make sure that the muffler is exact for your year of vehicle. For an MIL or CEL, the code would be read through a scanner. Autozone has a real good scanner on sale till May 5th, it has live data capabilities so you can watch the voltages and clear any codes at a price of $99.95, FYI

It's most likely the back light on the display is out, or a fuse is bad. Have it checked

What is a "dizzy"

The horn on this car should be right behind the front bumper bar...

disconnect the fuel line near the engine (usually at the throttle body assembly) and turn the key to ..run..position..listen for a buzzing of the pump..if you dont hear it or see liquid shooting out of the fuel line..theres no power to the pump or it may be bad..if it comes on but no fuel..be looking at the filter under the car by the front of the gas tank.. it may be plugged up..you can also check the pump for operation by powering it up manually at the pumps connector near the gas tank..if it works there..there is an auto shutoff relay that controlls the pump and the ignition.. it may be bad also..

From memory I believe you will find the major fuses under the near the steering column, it will have fuel pump relay there as well for you to check. you will need to remove the plastic couling to expose it. Good luck.
