Hi Anthony - Thanks for the suggestion ... but I doubt it. Because the oil lies in the oil pan/sump which is under the crankshaft etc, I don't think turning...
easiest way is going to be to drain the oil, give it new oil through the head... and put a air wrench on the crank and turn it. But you will not achieve full...
I have a 1995 Ford 2.0 Zetec engine in which I am dry sumping. The problem I have is that the oil filter is part of the oil pump housing. How do I put the...

Hello all, I have a 2000 ZX3 in which the idle has creeped up to @1300rpm. It has the 2.0 Zetec engine and I have been told that it needs the Idle Air Control...
Bolted to the block side of the intake manifold. You might be able to see it from the told but the only possible access will be from the bottom. Even then, it...
John, Lee is correct. It hides under the inlet manifold. Its a round silver metal device that looks a bit like a small fuel filter. Removing the inlet manifold...
Recently my car has been having problems with jerking. It usually happens when the car has warmed up, but it has happened before when it wasnt. Usually low...

I would check the fuel pressure, the fuel pressure sensor, the coils, The Spark plug wires, the throttle position sensor, the Mass Air Flow sensor, and the o2...
With the jerkin problem check your catalytic converter. Tell me does it seem as though you hardly have any power. This problem is easy to diagnose with and...
I had two 2000 ZX3s with the same problem. In the Focus it was a defective fuel pump. Miss and buck at WOT, would not rev past 5000rpm, can be intermittant....
