what engine is in it

efi engine could be anything what work /servicing has been done to the motor recently check fuel and spark is making it to the engine

if all you did was this...and and put a new battery in and still wont start...if you have went thru your plugs..wires..distributor..ignition coil...made sure your getting spark..if not..check your relays and fuses..preferebly one that deals with spark and timing for injectors..if everything is fine to that point...then try a crankshaft position sensor...it tells the pcm timing for fuel injectors and fire to the ignition coil...hopefully this helps.

The answer is tighten the bolts to 17-22 ft lb

Should be in the fuse box in the engine compartment, and it can provide power for the engine coil and also the injectors.

Thank you for your question. The firing order is 1-3-4-2.

if it's an automatic, find the transmission dipstick. if a manual, you have to pull out the 'add' plug on the transmission from underneath.

Hi there, I'm AL the owner of Big As Auto Repair. When performing a compression test on each cylinder they must be within 25% of each other or this will cause the engine to run bad. However, if you have a compression reading of say 120, 125, 115, and 120 PSI then you have something else causing the engine to run bad. If you need further assistance go to my website below.

SHOULD BE ON PASSANGER SIDE KICK PANEL SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO REMOVE TO GET TO IT.

is it manual tranny? if so u do so under the car by removing the fill up plug which is located on the side of the tranny on driver side of the car if i remember. The plug under the tranny is to drain it.

If u drain it, when u fill it back up, u do so until oil slightly spills out by way of that side plug.

call a upholstery repair shop have them come out and look at it they will find the leak and repair it/Please rate my response thank you very much

yes thanks to ford [fix or repair daily ] the valves have had a knock ,could be connecting rod shortend by impact ? but sadly i would say valves ,easy repair get a compression test first thow .
