Re: CHECKIN IN
Hey Guys just giving an update on my DAD. Just got back home from the hospital and he is still in the C.C.U ( critical care unit ) Drain tube is still in his Gall Bladder and still draining. They have his blood pressure now normal but he is having what they are telling me is A-FIB problems with his heart it keeps going up and down and they cannot get it regulated yet. When it gets too high they treat him with medication to control it. The worst part is I got called last night at 9:00P.M. and the doctor told me he had 2 episodes yesterday where his heart actually stopped for 3 to 4 seconds before coming back around. The doctor told me he believes this was brought about due to the massive infection he got from the Gall Bladder infection putting to much pressure on his heart. Doctors have been talking about if he can pull through this ( which is still up in the air ) putting in a pacemaker. I have been told I have to make the decision if the worst case happens and they have to put him on life support to live or make the final decision to let Nature and GOD decide his fate. Saddest thing is today is his 91st birthday any decision I have to make.

Re: CHECKIN IN
Hey guys now that my DAD is back to somewhat normal the next bridge I must fix is with the wife.After being so occupied with trying to deal with my DADS situation and working long hours just to keep the bills paid and my mind off the situation I for the first time on Wednesday July 2,2014 ( forgot that it was my 20th wedding Anniversary ) and 26 years together all along. Well she just reminded me 5 days later and is not a very happy camper. I told her I would make it up to her but the way she talked to me makes me think she wants to go Lorena Bobbitt on me Why do women have to remember every important date in their lives One mistake in 26 years of being with each other and you might think I was just arrested for double murder Now I am going to get and hope I wake up in the morning in one piece ( if I wake up )

Re: CHECKIN IN
Hey guys.... I am posting this on here just in case any of you can help. But this is mostly for CHIT ( he has the most auto mechanic help I think ) My 1998 Ford Escort SE has over the past 2 weeks started to have big problems going up hills where the car is sputtering real bad and seems like the transmission is also skipping.This also happens even on straight flat roads at times.Once the car gets up to speed ( which does take some time ) it seems to be okay. Have checked the transmission fluid and it was a little low so I added 1 quart of new fluid and the spark plugs were just changed 7 months ago. All the wires look okay from the distributor cap. Any help will be greatly welcomed. I thought I might have gotten some bad gas so I ran the fuel tank all the way down and refilled but problem still there.Also tried using the best store bought brand of fuel system cleaner and that has not worked.Just wonder if after 16 years the old boy has finally had it.Now has 173,000 miles on it. That only averages out to about 11,000 miles a year which is not bad but trying to figure out best way to fix without having to get new or used car ( Cannot afford right now ). Thanks guys once again for any help.

Re: CHECKIN IN
Is the check engine light on ....or the service engine soon light .
If either one is on you have a bad sensor , parts stores can read the codes and tell you which ones are bad i know that car has OBD 2 COMPUTER in it .... but to me it sounds like the O2 sensor is bad or the throttle body needs to be cleaned !
There are a lot of things that can cause what your explaining here !
One question though .....dose it run good when you first start the engine and then start acting up after the engine warms up ?
Those lil engines can run anywhere from 300,000 to 400,000 miles as long as you take care of them !

Hey Buddy... Yes the service engine soon light has been on now for some months but when I took the car to the local inspection station for a new sticker they told me not to worry about it because the age of the car only needs to pass the safety features now. Oh and yes when I first start it up it starts up real good and then when I start going down the road pressing the gas that is when it starts sputtering and the transmission sounds like it is skipping until you get up to a certain speed then it seems to be okay until you have to slow down then start going again.

Re: CHECKIN IN
Take it to autozone or what ever parts store you use and ask them to pull the codes out of it .... they will do it for free ..... i would hate to tell you it's one sensor and it be another one...... that can get pricey in a hurry

When the service engine soon light first came on I did go to my local auto zone store and they did check the codes and came back as fuel/air mixture problem or possible 02 sensor/or injector problem. Does this info help you out at all????

I'm thinking it is the oxygen sensor ( O2 sensor) ...... But take it back and have them read it again ........ the 02 sensor will cause the other codes to show up because it tells the computer when and how to mix the fuel ....( rich or lean )

Re: CHECKIN IN
Thanks CHIT for the help. I will take it back to auto zone friday or saturday and get it checked again. Until then is the any real problem I might get broke down between going to work or just coming home or is this just a pain in the ass problem until it is identified. Going to work and coming home is only about 10 miles round trip.upchitcreek wrote:Josilv5 wrote:upchitcreek wrote:Take it to autozone or what ever parts store you use and ask them to pull the codes out of it .... they will do it for free ..... i would hate to tell you it's one sensor and it be another one...... that can get pricey in a hurry

That's a good question but i think you will be alright .... it will just be a pain in the ass ......one more thing it takes a special tool to get the 02 sensor out and back in and they can be a REAL PAIN IN THE ASS GETTING OUT !....

Re: CHECKIN IN
Thanks again Buddy... One last question if it does turn out to be the 02 sensor what is the likely cost for the part? My next door neighbor is a mechanic and has helped me out on other occasions for a lot less labor then a repair shop. If it turns out to be not the 02 sensor I`m I looking at something more major???upchitcreek wrote:That's a good question but i think you will be alright .... it will just be a pain in the ass ......one more thing it takes a special tool to get the 02 sensor out and back in and they can be a REAL PAIN IN THE ASS GETTING OUT !....

Re: CHECKIN IN
02 SENSORS run between $70.00 and $100.00 .
If they tell you the same codes go with the 02 SENSOR first .....but before you start there are a few things you need to do so you dont damage the computer so check with me before you start ...... and it depends on the codes you get as to how major it will be .Worse case you may need to replace the timing belt or chain and gears which ever your car has!
OOP'S you left .......
i just checked your 02 sensor is around $50.00......

Just checked my local auto zone store website.... Bosch/Oxygen Sensor Universal fit for 1998 Ford Escort 2.0 MFI SOHC SPI 4 CYL Warranty 1 year.... Part is located behind converter PRICE $57.99..... Does that sound a good price plus whatever labor??

Okay Buddy thanks once again. I am gonna turn in for the night because 3:30 alarm comes very early to get to work. Just once again you think I should be okay for at least the next few days until I can get this problem identified. Just gonna be a pain in the ass ( if having to take hills ).... I can stay on flat straight roads to get to work just takes a little more time.
