Replying to: oct31st (Jan 07, 2009 10:29 am) Since a new key helped for a time, maybe ignition switch is failing??? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 08, 2009 8:41 am) oct31st (Jan 09, 2009 9:58 am) Mr_Shiftright (Jan 09, 2009 10:10 am)

Would like to know if there are any compatible starters for 97 Quest Xe. Ex: Mercury villager, Maxima.

Replying to: bolivar (Jan 07, 2009 10:15 pm) That's what I was thinking. It couldn't have been the anti-theft system because if that is kaput then the engine won't even crank. So if the engine was cranking and not starting, the new key was irrelevant--that is, there was correlation but not causation going on here. e.g. "While Shifty was walking down the street, a piano fell out of a building; therefore Shifty makes pianos fall out off buildings". I've certainly been fooled by this very type of situation. Replies to this message: oct31st (Jan 09, 2009 9:58 am) Mr_Shiftright (Jan 09, 2009 10:10 am)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 08, 2009 8:41 am) So, then a new ignition would not be a bad place to start?? I mean, even if not the fix, then an upgrade towards my 200+ mi. car, right? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 09, 2009 10:10 am)

Replying to: oct31st (Jan 09, 2009 9:58 am) So when you turn the key, does the engine crank and crank and not start, or does nothing happen when you turn the key? If Nothing Happens, It Could Be: Ignition switch Starter solenoid neutral safety switch If it cranks and cranks and won't fire up, It Could Be: Lots and Lots of Things

Can you provide me with the Transmission ratios--one through six for the 2009 Ford Escape V6. I can't find them anywhere. Thanks Replies to this message: bolivar (Jan 24, 2009 1:12 pm) bdyment (Jan 24, 2009 6:07 pm)

Replying to: bdyment (Jan 24, 2009 5:25 am) Google is your friend. Input 'Ford 6 speed automatic' and this is the first return: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM-Ford_6-speed_automatic_transmission Replies to this message: bdyment (Jan 24, 2009 6:07 pm)

Replying to: bolivar (Jan 24, 2009 1:12 pm) Thanks. I had my search too narrow. Only input Escape six speed. Got nowhere.
