my 95 ford exploere engine surges when turn my air conditioner on

Ihave a 1994 ford probe which has started to idle very low and stalls at times. It is a 4 cyl. w/ air and a 5 speed. any ideas? I replaced the fuel filter, air flow meter and added HEAT to gas tank to dry and clean fuel system. I think my pcv valv

should a standard transmission truck start when it is in gear without the clucth engaged?

should a 2005 standard transmission ford ranger start when in gear without the clutch engaged?

96 Ford F250 Emergency brake lever gets caught on the auto adjustment spring, causing brakes to be permanently engaged, also allowing the parking break lever to rub against the hub, which can cut through over time.

try pushing the pedals button closer to you. you must have the pedal adjustment button to the left of the radio, looks like a foot, that brings the pedals more inward towards the driver. hope it helped. or look carefully if a wire has corroded. it

i would check ur multi switch on ur stearing colum

on the pedal

whats the sound

Just bought an '06 E-350 van. Left d'ship got on highway and noticed shimmy when I got to 60....same problem????

that happened to me last night! If you rock the car back and for while shifting then it should release the safety lock!

why does it take turning off the veh. while pulling in on the shifter arm, them starting it again while still holding it inwards ever so slightly??
