LAST SUMMER I WAS DRIVING MY FORD HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR JUST DIED. I WAS CLOSE TO HOME SO I WAS ABLE TO COAST IT INTO MY DRIVEWAY. WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG SO WE TOOK IT TO A GARAGE AND HAD IT LOOKED AT. THEY REPLACED MY INERTIA SWITCH. $204.84. A COUPLE WEEKS LATER MY CAR DID THE EXACT SAME THING. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED THEN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME GARAGE AND THEY LOOKED IT OVER AND COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. I FIGURED OUT THAT IT HAPPENED MOSTLY WHEN I TURNED MY AIR CONDITIONER ON, AND THE ENGINE GOT HOT. SO WE HAVE GONE THE LAST TWO SUMMERS WITHOUT USING MY AIR CONDITIONER FOR VERY LONG.

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR: THE ORIGINAL WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WAS REPLACED WITH A REBUIT ONE SINCE THE ORIGINAL FAILED TO OPERATE ON ANY OF THE INTERMITTENT SETTINGS. IT WOULD WORK ON HIGH AND LOW ONLY. THE ORIGINAL MOTOR WAS REPLACED WITH A REBUILT WIPER MOTOR AND OPERATED FINE BUT MADE A LOUD NOISE. I HAD THE REBUILT WIPER MOTOR REPLACED WITH ANOTHER REBUILT WIPER MOTOR AND HAVE HAD IT FOR 13-14 MONTHS. THE WIPER MOTOR I HAVE CURRENTLY IS NOW MAKING THE SAME NOISE AS WITH THE SECOND WIPER MOTOR. IT IS STILL OPERATIONAL AT THIS POINT ON ALL SETTINGS.DOOR LOCKS: THE POWER DOOR LOCKS HAVE INDIVIDUALLY STOPPED WORKING AT DIFFERENT TIMES. I USED WD-40 ON ALL OF THE LOCKS AND IT HAS HELPED ALL BUT ONE (REAR PASSENGER SIDE) THAT REFUSES TO WORK WHEN DEPRESSING THE LOCK\UNLOCK BUTTON. IT WILL STILL WORK MANUALLY.

I HAVE THE FOLLOWING INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH MY CAR SINCE LAST FEBRUARY: WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MILES OF DRIVING, THE CAR SHUTS DOWN. IT STARTS UP AGAIN AFTER ANYWHERE FROM ONE MINUTE TO TWO MINUTES. AFTER I GO ABOUT 3 MILES WITHOUT IT HAPPENING, IT WON'T SHUT DOWN AGAIN. ALSO, SOMETIMES WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF TO RUN IN THE STORE, AND WHEN I TRY TO START IT WHEN I COME OUT, IT WON'T START. THEN AFTER ABOUT 1 TO 2 MINUTES IT STARTS. I BROUGHT IT TO A FORD DEALER, THEY CHECKED OUT THE COMPUTER AND SENSORS, CLEANED THE INJECTION SYSTEM FOR THE FUEL, BUT COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM.

IGNITION MODULE, DISTRIBUTOR/CAP/ROTOR/PLUG WIRES AND SPARK PLUGS, GAS FILTER, IGNITION COIL, PICKUP COIL, AND THE COMPUTER. THE CAR WOULD NOT START FOR A MECHANIC AND HE...
