It took me and 4 ppl to find it, but when you lift the hood of vehicle, it's right in the middle in front of the engine, but behind the radiator. If you still don't see the 'OIL' dipstick top it's probably because it broke off and is just a little rubber nub. I've replaced 3 dipsticks in the 2 years I've had mine. They are horribly flimsy and right smack in the middle of the car where it is always being leaned on, etc. The original dipstick from the Ford Co. is all black also which makes it very hard to see. It's nothing but a teeny hole with a teeny stick with 'OIL' in black written on it. Good luck. I know it's ridiculous.
One possibility is the temp sensor,if it does know it's a cold start ,it won't have an enriched fuel mixture to start.
Change it or put on a scanner and look at the temp sensor reading when cold.
You have to drill the remainder of the bolt out of the hole. Start by taking a center punch and punch the dead center of the piece stuck in the hole, then take a small drill bit and get to work on the punch hole. Use a little wd40 on the bit to keep it from overheating and go about half speed on the drill (time consuming prosses). After you drilled deep enough grab the next size bit and continue to do this until you can fit a good size extracter in the hole to pull it out. If you do not have an extracter then continue to drill untill the bolt is completly out then retap new treads and find an oversized bolt.
I would check to see if there is a little hole in the tumble next to the key. If so then turn the ignition to accessory and put a paper clip or something that will fit in the hole. Push the pin into the hole and the tumble should move a little more and then just pull it out.
There should be a small pin hole around the casting where the barrel fits in. Use a small pin or punch and press in that hole, while pulling out on the barrel. Use a little wd-40 or PB Blaster to free it up, they get stuck over time.
Put both hands on plastis strip and force it to move aside and pull out with fingers the one end of this strip. First clip is little bit difficult to pullout but rest will be easy to take out.
remove the straps off the drive shaft u joint then pull drive shaft put plastic bag over transmission and put rubber band on bag so fluid don't run out next remove the cert clips from the drive line using a pair of plyers do this on both ends, next get a small socket that will slide threw the bearing hole and a large one to fit oppisite end with a hammer tap the old bearing out and then tap new one in and replace cerclips with new clip and install grease fitting grease fitting and installs into drive line hole. and your ready to go.
any car thieves in your neighborhood that would help? seriously now look for a small hole under the lock that a paper clip wire would fit in.find an old key that 'kind of'' fits push the wire into the hole as you wiggle the key you jammed in there and pull out on it.if your unit doesn't have the afore mentioned hole to release cyl,you'll have to drive a punch into the key slot,risking damage to the assembly,or acquire the service of a local locksmith
Fixing a brake line is not hard, but first the question is where is the line broke... If the line is broke in the rear of the car or truck sometimes it is best to just replace that short peice of line with the screw in fittings on both ends.. On the rear of most cars and trucks the line runs to a tee and out of both sides of the tee a shorter line runs to each rear brake...You can find them at a ford dealer and the line will be bent to the shape of the line you are replacing with the two fitting on both ends.. sometimes its much cheaper to buy from auto zone or advanced auto parts..They also sell lines with fittings in bulk, so if you know how long and the size of the fitting they will give you a peice of straight line with the fittings on the ends and you have to put the bends in the line where needed... NUMBER 2 If the the line is broke on the long straight run from the front of the car or truck that runs back to the tee theses can be fixed with a compresion fitting.. This works great if you only have a pin hole in your line and cost only a few dollars... You will have to cut the line on both sides of the pin hole about a 1/8 inch and slide nut cap on first and next slide on the line ball on the brake line this has to be done on both sides of the broken line.. next is the center peice of the compresion fitting, gently pull the line apart enough to slide the center peice overthe cut line, now the same has to be done to the other side ... Once the the center peice is in place on the cut line slide line balls and nut caps to the center peice start to thread your nut caps on to the center peice tighten..
Many are just force-fitted in the holes in which they are mounted.
There is no stress to speak of on them so little reason to pop out - well, unless someone is unnecessarily pulling on the connecting tube.
Removing the old and installing a new one wojuld be better done when the hood is warm to prevent breaking the replacement when inserting it.
BTW; is the pump motor running at all?
These are the pits as motors or pumps so could fail easily.
