if the place where you had the oil changed used a oil flush pressure system they could of damaged the seal as they not supposed to have that amount of pressure on them, this would damage all or most of the oil seals. a good oil change is were they dont use one of these systems they cause more problems over time. if you do an oil change its best to do it your self or at a garage you trust. and ask them to add flush cleaner this is a substance you add to the oil and run for 15 min in the engine and then do the oil change, you dont always need to use a flush only if there is a build up of oil carbon in the engine. some build up is normal but if you change the oil regular you don't need to flush as its only old oil that needs changing and flushing. hope this helps
Can you provide the actual code? The codes do not tell what part to replace--they only indicate a problem the computer is having. The problem must be further diagnosed for proper repair.
You need to take belt off and loosen the bolt,then you can align the holes up.Is there some type of sealant between the water pump and housing,if so,then it will be stuck,you may have to remove water pump and reinstall,if you move it,it may cause it to leak.Check this video out.

Sounds like an interlock solenoid is out of adjustment. Pushing the clutch is suppose to allow a solenoid to hit a striker and send an electric signal to release the ignition switch. Just to be careful with the car rolling if the clutch is depressed.
Hey!
That look you problems with pulleys,holding the serpentine belt
Get oils spray into it,than you can see.Make the prove one at the time.
Start the motor and see squishing noisy goes away
Even do it in the AC motor pulley
Note:Do not forget change the serpentine belt
1. Check the radiator cap. 2. Check the reserve tank, whether water level is maintained or getting filled. If it's getting filled, there should be a leak in the radiator or gasket
If the fuse blows , it has a short to ground on the B+ side of thwe circuit . Don't know where you live ,so don't know what shops there charge ! Your probably looking at a least a hour diagnostic time . There are videos on youtube showing how to find a short . You would need to look at a wiring diagram to see what all that fuse supply's B+ voltage too. Then isolate the different circuits till the fuse doesn't blow . But if you haven't done electrical diagnostics before ?
Don't know where you got your info . The heater blower motor electrical B+ power comes from Fuse F 64 a 40 amp fuse . This goes right to the blower motor on the green with orange stripe wire , The black with red stripe wire goes to the switch for high speed . There is Splice 24 that ties into the black with red stripe wire. The splice 24 turns into a black with orange stripe wire . An this wire goes to the blower motor resistor . All the switch does is route the B+ voltage through the different resistors to ground .
Thermal resistor "usually" stops working is because of faulty fan speed switch ???? Totally not true , resistor assemblies fail because of the heat associated with dropping voltage across the resistors , That is why they put the resistor assembly in the air box . Air blows over to cool the resistors . The switch is nothing more then a way to direct different speeds to ground .
Rather then listening to other people ,why not learn the right way to test electrical circuits .
Electric Testing Techniques You Need to Know
Do you know what a wiring diagram is ?
http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Enter vehicle info . Under system click on HVAC , under subsystem click on heater . Click the search button , then on the link . Use a volt meter an test , don't guess !
I don't know the model year? Key on engine off, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure. Then with key off, see if pressure holds for a bit? If it drops like a rock, check for a fuel pressure leak. If the engine is hot and trying to flood for some reason, your going to have a tough time. Any applicable trouble codes? Check your coolant temp sensor, only if testing leads in that direction.
Smell of your crankcase oil dipstick, does it smell like gas?
Did you check to see if the inertia fuel cut off switch was tripped ? Do you know what this is on ford vehicles ? There are usually located in or behide the right side passenger kick panel , or in the trunk .
