#2153 of 2935 Fuel Injector Problems: by jwaand Dec 20, 2005 (2:05 pm)
2002 Mercury Sable: since it's 30,000 mile dealer service the car has needed two new fuel injectors in 2,000 miles. The car came back form it's service leaking transmission fluid because the dealer over-filled the transmission fluid. Then it started miss-firing and running ruff. Now after 2000 miles a second fuel injector has gone bad. I would appreciate any insights, especially if there is any way the service could have contributed to the expensive fuel injector problems. The car is past the 36 month warranty, but only has 30,000 miles. Help! John Replies to this message: jschunke (Dec 26, 2005 8:00 am)

Replying to: tedwards (Jul 07, 2005 7:56 am) Did you discover the cause of the low oil pressure? I have the same car with the same problem. It is in the dealer with the engine completely disassembled. They cannot find the case and Ford ESP warranty with not do anything until a cause if found.

Replying to: badgerfan (Dec 15, 2005 7:45 am) Well--It was the DPFE sensor. Had it replaced. I am beyond the warranty. But you were right on the money with solving my problem. Thanks, so much.
#2156 of 2935 Re: automatic on/off headlight feature not working [hank7] by bates3 Dec 23, 2005 (5:26 pm)
Replying to: hank7 (Oct 26, 2005 7:05 pm) Did you figure out the automatic on/off headlight feature. My 2000 Taurus is doing basically the same. Strangely enough, the parking lights come on when set to automatic but not the headlights. Any clues?
#2157 of 2935 Turn Signal Relay by timothyf Dec 24, 2005 (6:12 pm)
Does anyone know where the turn signal relay is located on a 96 LX? I'd like to replace it as sometimes it clicks quickly and the lights don't flash. Other times it works fine. All the bulbs are good. Thanks.

Replying to: jwaand (Dec 20, 2005 2:05 pm) Sure your fuel system isn't gummed up with something?
#2159 of 2935 Where's the Thermostat, Duratec v6 by jschunke Dec 26, 2005 (8:14 am)
My attempt to replace the thermostat on a 2000 (56k mi) Sable wagon was thwarted because I couldn't find it on the engine. Never worked on a Ford before so bear with me.   What kind of coolant is recommended for this engine, original conventional coolant or extended life?

Replying to: jschunke (Dec 26, 2005 1:52 pm) http://www.autozone.com/images/cds/gif/large/0900823d801af4c0.gif   1. Drain the coolant until the level of the coolant is below the level of the thermostat. 2. Raise the vehicle and support it with jackstands. 3. Disconnect the lower radiator hose from the water inlet connection. 4. Unfasten the two water inlet connection retaining bolts and remove the water inlet connection. 5. Remove the O-ring seal and thermostat from the water inlet connection. Inspect the O-ring for damage and replace as necessary.   To install:   6. Clean the water inlet connection mating surfaces. 7. Install the O-ring, thermostat and the water inlet connection. 8. Install the water inlet connection assembly retainers and tighten them to 71-106 inch lbs. (8-12 Nm). 9. Connect the lower radiator hose to the water inlet connection. 10. Fill the engine with coolant, start the engine and check for leaks. 11. Stop the engine and top off the coolant recovery reservoir as necessary. Replies to this message: jschunke (Dec 27, 2005 5:28 am)
