  5. Might be a little too close
  6. Yes I'll do that right now, It looks to me as if part of it is missing our burned out
  7. Can anybody tell me what this light is suggesting, it's below the M I can't find it in the manual
  8. Replacing the motor mount eliminated all shaking and vibration, steering has substantially improved!?
  9. Took the car back to dealer, they said that it's a bad motor mount, waiting for the part. I hope this is it.....
  10. Yeah, I thought about that, I know they certainly didn't offer them to me, thanks Multi
  11. I think I might of posted the update incorrectly
  12. I was hoping that someone might be able to identify with the situation I'm having. I know ithere could be several issues going on, i just need some expert advice! Recently, our mkz decided to start leaking antifreeze, only when it's running. Thermostat pegged and engine light came on and water everywhere, loss of heat as well. I immediately thought it could be the water pump so upon further research ive learned that the pump is internal, not what I expected. Is there any way I can confirm this or is this a job for a technician . Thanks for all your help! I wanted to update all those that viewed this thread, just got the car back from the dealer and they TOLD me that it was the water pump, they said they replaced it and a few other things as well but the part I'm not comfortable with is the fact that how do I know that they really replaced the pump, for all I know it could've been a blown hose and charged me 2,000$ for the repair. There is no real way to be certain but at least we got the car back on the road! Furthermore, we picked the car up right at closing time so I didn't have time to take it for a test drive, I wish I had because it still has a very serious 'shudder' @ 'vibration' when idling, you would think they would've addressed the issue at the time of service. Kinda disappointed after dropping 2k$! Anyone have any idea what the shaking could be or should I post a new thread! Thank you in advance!
  13. Well i wanted to say thanks for your advice, the trick has worked great and i finally got a new handle for her today and everything seems to be working as expected. I did notice that the new install doesn't seem to fit exactly the same as the old one, but at least it's working. Btw it was obvious to me that someone else had been there before, probably to replace the door handle. Thanks again!
  14. Oh yeah Motorcraft for sure, i did notice what looked to be a burn holein this harness, not sure what it is but the single wire inside appeared to be ok
  15. I recently had to change a fuel injector on the wife's car, apparently there's a lot of static now on the radio now since then, could a loose battery ground cause this issue or does it have something to do with the new spark plugs. Thanks everyone out there in lincoln land.
  16. I do have one concern though, after doing the fix, the car wouldn't start so i had to charge it first then it started up fine. I let it run a while then i noticed some steam and got moisture coming from the air filter cabin area. I shut off the car and reworked the air supply hose into its proper setting, put it all back together and started the car. After a few minutes at idle i noticed that i did not hook the MAF connector, so while the car was running i plugged the maf sensor in and the car stalled out dead. Started it back up and runs great, no engine light, no cel light. All good.
  17. Well i just got done fixing the car.... well so far so good that is. After doing some serious googling and researching troubleshooting sites i was able to repair the terrible hesitation and stuttering performance. According to the codes, p0302 and p0202, cylinder #2 misfire, injector circuit open cylinder #2. I used my dvmm to measure the resistance levels on the fuel injectors. Not knowing what the levels are supposed to be i have learned that all the injectors should measure the same. Cylinder #2 fuel injector measured waaaay outside what all the rest were.(12.5). I got kinda lucky cause only one injector was bad(138.7 - 213). Which i replaced. Had a few issues in the process plus i changed the plugs as well took me about 9 hours. Thanks for all the help, hopefully i won't have any more issues. If you have any insight as to a forecast of any kind or concerns i might have to watch for. Thank you very much
  18. Awesome, thanks for the help bb. I had to come home and do some diagnosis of my own, i'm no expert but it's shaking and stuttering pretty good,is this like a dealer type diagnosis. Thanks everyone
  19. I hope i got the right forum......... Need some help diagnosing some codes, Po302 po202 Well i'm a long ways away from home and the wife's car is acting up. Spitting and sputtering shaking, all that stuff. Thanks everyone for the help
  20. Well it'd better be a JETS pizza then! Lol Thanks guys!
  21. Yeah well you gotta realize that she is able to unlock the window and therefore access the handle from the outside. That's good shit right there, thanks bro!
  22. Right on, i will check it out, thanks for the reply and I'll let you know how it goes thanks
  23. Got a 2010 mkz, Recently the wife noticed that the drivers side door lock has been sticking and the lever won't allow her to open the door. I was hoping someone might be able to identify with this situation, thanks everyone!
  24. Has anyone ever experienced these scratches, I'm not sure if its from salt falling in the door or a problem inside the door
