Engine light goes on than next day off

Normal operating temp for any car is 150-170 F, Your thermostat is set for these amounts, water boils at 220 F and coolant boils at 260 F, but the boiling of anything in there is not good, it creates pressure, something is going to give. Your radiator cap has a temp on it too, about 165. It will bleed off the pressure before it explodes. So, you can check your thermostat, they do freeze up, check your coolant, don't run straight water. and then check the inside of your radiator, they do clog up. Hope this helps.

I am Assuming you are referring to the 6.8 litre Ford Triton engine. Be careful to check exactly which engine it is as the wrong firing order is a VERY VERY expensive mistake.

*Note* Other engines can use a different firing order so make sure your engine is this type**

Passenger window not working where are the fuse's situated

We can't help you if you don't tell us the make , model an year of the vehicle . Also if the other windows work it's probably not a fuse problem ,most of the time the power windows are powered by the same fuse .

Where is the 7x crankshaft position sensor on a 2004 chevy impala 3400 engine. Are there any tricks that I need to know to change it? With help I have located the part. Is there a trick to getting it out of the block all I can get it to do now it spin around very little movement out.

Ok that sensor is on the engine block in a very difficult position it's close to the exhaust manifold but below it on the left side of the engine but if you move the passenger side wheel you may be able to access it that way but be prepared for a long time at it but it's right there on the engine block

2015 Fusion Canter. How can I fill tranny fluid?

The facility for the home mechanic to top up or refill the transmission fluid has mostly been deleted and even the fluid level can't be accurately checked without diagnostic equipment.

These days the facility for filling and rough checking the level is in the realms of special service tools that are fitted temporarily to the transmission. Often there is a screwed plug to remove or perhaps it is possible a breather is used.
I suggest you either have a chat with the dealer or your friendly local transmission specialist.

Charging the battery is very difficult - the terminals do not seem to make contact. Occasionally it suddenly starts charging. any solution to this?

Vehicle batteries come in different styles and connection post options. You need the battery that is matched to your vehicle. The connections need to be clean and tight and smeared with Vaseline or dielectric grease..

At the charging end, the leads to the alternator need to be clean and tight as well.

Hi! I have a Great Wall V240 4 cylinder 2.4L petrol 4x2. The problem im having is ute will stall and odometer reading won’t come back on and car wont start(also dash backlight isn’t on when odo reading goes). Starts when cold, once warms up(30mins) just dies. I’ve replaced thermostat and its still happening.

I am not familiar with this model and it is difficult to really pin point the problem without looking at it. However my hunch is that this is an electrical problem where something is going high resistance when warm or hot. This could be wiring or a sensor or earth connections but I would start looking at things close to heat sources such as the engine or exhaust. Sorry I can't be more specific.
