It'd help us to say what model of car and if it has drums or disc brakes in the rear. Ford is notorious for using crappy pads, especially on their compact...
hi im new to this group. i currently own a 94 escort with the 1.9L motor, but its dying and i dont want to shell out a bunch of money for a new car. instead...
From a simplicity standpoint, the most swap friendly setup would be a ZX2 zetec in the Escort. You can do a V6, but not the Duratech V6 - forget that one. The...
Hi (bluejay)?... you didn't leave a name... sorry. I know for sure the MTX75 tranny bolts to the zetec and can be found in a Contour/Mystique. I don't know if...
The Focus does in fact use the MTX-75 when you get it with the Zetec. If you get the SPI engine in the Focus, it comes with the IB5 manual trans. The Contour...
the ZX2 uses a Mazda G5M trans, and it's mounts/axles/hydraulic clutch/etc... will bolt right in to a zetec. I know of two such examples floating around the so...
Hi there, I'm planing to install a Nitrous MasterMind to my Escort. I want to know if anyone has had any experience with this device and also the part number...
Hi All, I have a ZX2 engine thats going in to a birkin. To fit the raceline water rail, I had to remove the cam sensor on the exaust side. The question is will...
It will run, as the cam sensor is a secondary sensor, but it will throw a check engine light/code. This will also cause the cam (VCT) to either default to a...
Yeah, I would agree... it should run, but it will revert to batch fire mode, and will not run sequential injection. Not a BIG deal. Unless, the computer...
Thanks for the info for Ryan. I ask because my galant will not run without the cam sensor. Its nice the know the engine will at least run. -Alex ... a ... ...
I am curious as to why the Zetec will run without a cam sensor, but something like a Powerstroke diesel will stall if the sensor is bad? Just Curious, Geoff C....
There is one thing I have always wondered about with regards to the VCT. Would putting on an ECU from a non-VCT Zetec engine work? I know this has been...
You would first have to verify that the wiring harnesses are wired the same, or make the necessary changes so that the wires are in the right place (not bad, I...
The 2.0 Zetec with VCT uses the crank position sensor to get the information it needs for ignition timing. The cam position sensor on the exhaust cam is just...
Batch fire mode? Why? The PCM should get all the info it needs form the crank position sensor. With the exhaust cam position sensor disconnected, my car...
No, it does not get everything it needs. There are 2 revolutions in a full combustion cycle. The crank position sensor tells the engine where it is on a...
Clarification: One revolution for the cam, two revolutions for the crankshaft, per combustion cycle. (Simplified) The cam (exhaust lobe) will be straight up,...
Ford need to update their shop manuals they give to the Technicians. The one I read for the ZX2 said that the cam position sensor on the ZX2 isn't used after...
Well, that could be. I can't say for sure... I only really know how my Pectel works. It will run sequential, but if I lose the crank sensor after the engine...

The important part of that that i read was Volvo is expected to make its official appearance next summer, followed by other variants including an AWD wagon and...
Ford had at least one AWD focus being brought around to the import/sport compact event for a while. It used the rear diff and modified rear axles from an...
I'd really like to know if there is a "transfer case" that we can bolt up to the MTX75. I know there is an AWD version of the MTX75 that they use in Europe,...
so - does this mean mazda is going to abandon it's protoge platform for the focus platform as well? so... if i understand this correctly: 1. the 2nd gen focus...
... Could that be the MT-75 as used in the MkV Cosworth? That car, btw, had longitudinally mounted engine vs the transverse configuration of the MkV RS AWD. ...
Yup, that and also used in the Contour 4x4. I just wish I could get more info on it. I've sent email to Ford Power Products twice now, never got a reply. ......
Now for their AWD wagons and coupes, are they going to use a transverse engine or a longitudinally mounted engine? I myself would prefer the latter. Don ... ...
