Where is the Orifice Tube on a 1998 Ford Escort, and of oil it take amont to put back in

The orifice tube is inside the line going to the evaporator you have to disconnect the lines to get to it you should change the accumulator tank because that's a very likely leak spot a/c systems never need freon unless there's a leak in the system and that tank is almost always responsible buy a can with dye in it to get the system charged enough to get the compressor to cycle the leak will show up wherever it is then repair and have the system evacuated with a vacuum pump do not skip this step you will have a bad result of blowing seals in the compressor or the orings on the lines plus you just spent $$to fix it do it right one time ok good luck stephen

The tube is at the inlet to the evaporator core at the engine bulkhead. Disconnect the smaller of the 2 AC lines to locate it. In the picture below the line that you need to disconnect is the lower one in the picture of the AC compressor hose assembly.

Remove condenser-to-evaporator refrigerant line. Separate line to expose fixed orifice tube. Pour small amount of clean refrigerant oil into cavity to aid removal. Engage Fixed Orifice Tube Remover/Replacer), hold tool body and turn "T" handle to draw out fixed orifice tube. To install, reverse removal procedure. Use new "O" rings coated with clean refrigerant oil.

I suggest you replace the EGR valve position sensor.

remove oil pan unbolt pickup tube and screen from engine block an oil pump if your to replace and i would.-. prime oil pump with oil by putting in screen and turning shaft till oil comes out block side and bolt back up and install oil pan with new gasket and fill with oil and start up with idle and watch oil pressure till it comes up to normal, i would change oil filter also before starting there probly is a gasket between oil pump and block

The dip stick tube is pressed into the engine block. Put a bolt into the top of the tube so that the body of the bolt goes into the tube and the bolt head rests on the tube (so it does not fall down the tube). Use a wrench (such as a Vise grip) to hold onto the tube at the bolt and gently work it back and forth, being sure not to deform the tube. Remove the tube and old dip stick. Replace the tube by forcing it back into the eng. block. Replace the dip stick - done :)! Some dip stick tubes have a gasket at the engine - others just **** up to a shoulder that is built into the tube. Let me know if this works. Thanks.

The engine oil dipstick is located on the driver's side of the engine. Remove it and wipe the oil off the dipstick and then thread it back into the tube. Remove the dipstick and read the level. It should be between the MAX and MIN lines. Add oil if necessary. The coolant level is checked by visually inspecting the level in the reservoir while the engine is cold. It should be around the "Full Cold" line. Take a look at the coolant because oil mixed in with the antifreeze could signify a leaking head gasket. The brake master cylinder will be located on the driver's side of the firewall behind the strut tower. Pull the lid off and check the fluid level inside. To check the automatic transmission fluid level, first allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature, then check the fluid level on the dipstick. ------------

Thanks. keep updated for any more query.you can rate this solution and show your appreciation.

THE SMALLER LINE GOES TO THE EVAPORATOR, i HAVE CHECKED WITH MY FRIEND AT FORD ON THIS PROBLEM AND HE SAID U HAVE TO REPLACE THE SMALLER AC LINE (HI PRESSURE LINE, THE ORIFICE TUBE IS PART OF THE HIGH PRESSURE LINE, HERE IS THE PART NUMBER FROM A SITE CALLED ROCKAUTO.COM
MOTORCRAFT Part # YF2227 {#F6ZH19N651AD, F6ZZ19835A}
factory installed AC High pressure refridgerant line.

a car with over 75k requires a slightly heavier oil so i would reccommend using 20/50,best you can afford.

orifice tube is cloged up or you have to much oil in system need to replace orifice and put a vacuum on syster draw it down to 30 psi and hold it for 20 mins
