#311 of 520 abs and brake light by oldfartcanfixi Jun 29, 2005 (6:08 am)
I own a 1993 Ford Aerostar, 3.0 liter. Both the brake light and the ABS light are illuminated. The brakes work great. I did have a broken adjuster on the right rear drum and after I replaced it and drove the car backwards to set the brakes is when the lights came on. Fluid level is just below max.

#314 of 520 Changing Sparkplugs by zed049 Jul 04, 2005 (6:37 am)
I have a 4.0L '93 AWD with 177,000+ Kilometers on it and I'm about to leave on a trip of over 6,000Km late this week. I want to change the sparkplugs on this puppy so as to get better fuel economy. I bought the van with 92,000Km on it and have not changed out the plugs since, so who knows how long they've been in service.      Any tips out there as to how to go about this plug change? I can gain access to the plugs on the driver's side of the engine from the hood, but the other side I don't know about. I have a shop appointment later this week. They tell me the book hours for a sparkplug change list at 2.5. At $58 Canadian an hour, plus tax, that figures out to $167 or so.     Your timely tips I shall surely most appreciate!!!

#315 of 520 I am looking at a used 93 XLT by gr1 Jul 05, 2005 (8:16 am)
I am new to the Forum, I test drove a used 93 , with 165,000 miles on it. The airbag light keep blinking, and when I made a sharp left turn it shuttered a little but only when making a sharp left, not straight or right turn, The seller does not speak English hardly, and I got conflicting answers from him, and I don't speak spanish. Any thoughts on this ? A tune up was done 3-4 years ago accordinly to him. It seemed to drive ok , When I lifted the hood , it was running with the AC on and the AC seemed to make alot of noise . ?? Anyone use Duralube with thier oil and notice a difference ?? Thanks GR1 Replies to this message: jimmj43 (Jul 13, 2005 11:03 pm)

The 4.0 L is known for its very picky with spark plugs and wires. You should use either Motorcraft OEM (expensive) or Autolite (better price, similar quality) parts ONLY. Use Double Platinum plugs with anti-seize. Be careful & patien when remove the old plugs. I would change the air filter, all fluids also, O2sensor. HIH
#317 of 520 gas struts for hatchback by carter3 Jul 08, 2005 (7:34 am)
The gas struts for the hatch back were weak so I went down to my favorite auto parts and got 2 new ones. I quickly replaced them only to find that I had difficutly closing the hatch. It seems as if the hatch no longer lines up with the latch. Also the strut pops off of the mount.I discovered that the stupid metal clip that holds the strut on is the problem. I heard of some one else who had this problem. Is there a solution ? Or is it poor engineering ? I will check back in a few days. I also discovered the the front fenders are so easy to remove and replace, just 5 bolts and the radio antena, I even found the correct color at the local pick and pull yard, and the price was reasonable, $20.00 each. More later.
#318 of 520 1987 A-star That Dies on The Road by normh Jul 08, 2005 (4:05 pm)
My brother-in-law is the owner of my old Aerostar van that I bought new. It has about 150k miles on it now and it keeps having a problem that no mechanic can seem to diagnose. You will be driving along and it will die in the middle of the road. It will re-start and run on for a while without doing it again. Fuel pump has been replaced. Any ideas anyone?

Replying to: normh (Jul 08, 2005 4:05 pm) I would check the spark module while it dying.

Replying to: normh (Jul 08, 2005 4:05 pm) Check the fuel FILTER! Many fuel filters use paper. Paper's ok as long as it's just FUEL passing thru. WATER, on the other hand, tends to cause paper fibers to swell - cutting off fuel flow. <-- I had that problem with a Chevette. At highway speed it would die (unless I let off on the gas). At rest it would start, run and rev normally. But under load at highway speed, it'd die out.
