In case you have a issue in the future there was a recall on the vehical Recall ID # 42233 - WHEELS:CAP/COVER/HUB Full Details Recall Date SEP 13, 2004 Component WHEELS:CAP/COVER/HUB Model Affected Freestar Potential Units Affected Read more: http://www.motortrend.com/cars/2004/ford/freestar/recalls/#ixzz389x5ubZp But the answer to your orginal question is Torque to this setting. Axle Nut: 96 Ft/Lbs - Apply threadlock to the last five axle shaft joint threads before installing the nut.Flange Bolts: N/A.Wheel Studs: 100 Ft/Lbs.

Far more likely than a defective camshaft position sensor: bad spark plug wires, fouled spark plugs, or a bad coil pack are the most probably culprits. Also, verify that you haven't developed any vacuum leaks anywhere.

There isn't what you would call a test per se. If you have power to the unit, and a good ground, the radio should work. If the cassette or CD functions, but nothing but static from radio, suspect a faulty antenna or lead. Ford radios are well known for failure after a few years, especially in areas with hot, humid climates. I've replaced a bunch of them!

make sure your cabin air filter is not plugged may need to be replaced

Similar happened to me..I got a tune up and all was great after that...

where are you, point to car parts. im inside car , outside car. where. there are even firewall cowl vents. etc. be clear.

Just go to google and put in p2004 code. It will give you alot of great info and even videos to show you how to fix it yourself.

replace the ambient temp sensor located behind the front grill area

I found some good information and step by step instructions on you tube. Be aware that if you change the instrument cluster the vehicle will need to be reprogrammed by a Ford dealer and is VERY costly! Van won't start unless the new cluster is coded. Good luck

I purchased my 05 ford freestar fall 2013 and it had the same problem. I had a couple of fuses removed from the fuse box under the hood which solved the problem for a while but one of the fuses controlled the heat so I needed to find the problem. Right after I bought it I got a letter in the mail from Ford to get the tourk converter changed at their dealership. After that was done I assumed I still had the battery drain and took it to a shop to get it looked at. The guy put all the fuses back in and had a tester on it all day and could'nt find a drain. I took it home and have'nt had a problem since. A friend of mine thinks that when they changed the tourk converter at Ford it may have corrected the problem. Maybe there was a pinched wire somewhere that got loose when they took the transmission out. If you have not gotten any recall letters in the mail call your local Ford dealership and ask if there are any recalls on your van. If there are they have to fix them free of charge and if your lucky like I was maybe the issue with the battery will be corrected.

you should change the oil every 4000 to 5000 km in that hot climat your van should take a little more then 4 liters of oil so buy 6 liters oil filter part # should be on the filter you could take it off the old one if your doing this yourself drain oil put new filter in and add 4 liters of oil wait 5 minutes check oil level on dip stick add half liter at a time and check oil level again wait few minutes in between for oil to drop down in oil pan for proper readings on dip stick.repeat ontil oil level shows in the hatch marks on dip stick DONT OVER FILL. also fill oil filter with oil before instaling the new one to insure that oil will flow trought engine at startup without having to fill oil filter first leaving engine to run without oil until this happends internaly on its own you may have a liter left after your done ,you can use this for top ups inbetween oil changes .you should also check and replace your air filter at this time .
