Where do all the hoses go from the cooling resivor on a 2000 ford focus with a 2.0L split port engine?where do all the hoses go from the cooling resivor on a 2000 ford focus with a 2.0L split port engine? where would I find one? Any help would be nice.

That plate to which the hoses attach is, in fact, the water pump. You\'re going to have to replace it, and you should (must!) replace the timing belt too since you\'ll have it out anyway. The pulley below the camshaft pulley (top) is the tensioner and doesn\'t need to be removed if it\'s working correctly (turns smoothly). The next pulley down is part of the water pump that you\'ll be removing. The pump is held on with four bolts that you\'ll see after you get the belt off. Since you\'ve already uncovered the timing belt, you\'re about halfway there. I assume that the car is up on stands, you\'ve removed the engine mount and are supporting the engine from below on a jack or stand, and you\'ve got both the upper (metal) and lower (plastic) timing covers off as well as the serpentine belt and its cover (splash guard). If not, do all that. You\'ll also want the steering fluid reservoir and coolant reservoir out of the way. Removing the passenger tire and the inner fender lining can make things easier as well. In general, removing things that are in the way and putting them back later will end up being less hassle than trying to work around them, at least in my experience. From there, the steps are: Drain the coolant (valve at the bottom of the radiator). CLOSE THE VALVE. Remove the crankshaft damper (bottom-most serpentine pulley) to uncover the crankshaft timing pulley. (This step sounds so simple... it\'s just one bolt... hah hah hah...) Rotate the engine until the timing marks on the cam timing pulley and crank timing pulley are at 12 o\'clock (they line up with marks on the engine). Loosen the timing tensioner bolt, rotate the tensioner to slack the belt, and tighten the bolt again, just enough to hold the tensioner off the belt. Remove the belt. Disconnect the hoses and unbolt the pump. Clean the mating surfaces, trying not to get any crap in the engine\'s water passages. Apply a new gasket with sealant, install the new pump, torque the four bolts to spec. Re-attach hoses. Install the new belt, making sure that the timing marks are where you left them. Rotate cam or crank as needed if not. (Removing the sparkplugs makes this easier). Loosen the tensioner bolt to re-tension the belt, then torque the tensioner bolt to spec. If the tensioner doesn\'t turn smoothly, replace it. Check the timing marks again. Put everything else back and torque the crank damper to spec. If you figure out the serpentine routing on the first try, consider yourself very cool. Refill coolant and fire it up.
