Subject: Palestinian Leader Yasser Arafat Dies of His Illness in Paris,
France

Early this morning two CNN Journalists discovered the CCTV footage that
will
shock the world. At 3.30am, Paris time, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat
has
died of his illness at Paris, France. He was 75 years old. As yet to be
released to the nation due to the governments concerns over national
Security, CNN has decided to inform the public of this terrible event. A
short CCTV clip as evidence of this tragedy has been posted here and there
will be more updates to follow as the news filters through. President
George
Walker Bush: "This is a sad day for the world that the Palestinian leader
Yasser Arafat has died". President George Walker Bush is offering
condolences to Yasser Arafat's family.

Uh, yes... guilty.. as I often remark in follow-up remarks.

I consider bulletin boards and forums as MORE than some "community".

Closest way I can put it, once you have ten years or so experience on here...
is sorta like a bar at happy hour.

Thanks for the replies everyone! I wound up flushing the entire cooling
system, and just for kicks, I disconnected the hoses from the heater
core, and flushed it out seperately with hot water from a gardenhose. At
first it barely dribbled out, eventually got full flow. It looked like
some sort of sludge from that damn Dex-cool antifreeze. I replaced it
with the tried and true green kind. I guess time will tell if it works
out okay.

I need to change the spark plugs on my 2000 flex-fuel 3.0 Taurus. The
back plugs look tough to get at. I was hoping the plenum wouldn't have
to come off. Does anyone have experience in changing plugs on this
motor?

Thanks.

Agreed... what makes this group the most valuable is when the original problem
is described and then the ultimate fix is posted. The interim ideas offered
aren't wasted though... they're just more possibilities to consider.

I tried, this morning, to pump the pedal once to the floor, and it was -6°C,
and the engine started easily, I'll try again tomorrow, to make sure today
wasn't only luck!

Then I'll check my vacuum lines.

How do I check the TPS, if the mechanics didn't find any codes.

is the IAC hard to reach, what is ECT?


Thanks.,

Does it start faster when you pump the pedal a few?

I haven't try that



G#$#@@$32!!!!!!

SO...DID YOU EVER TRY IT?!!!!

Why do I get this deja-vu EVERYTIME.

1. The maf has next to NO effect on starting the car..plugged or
unplugged,
if it RUNS better unplugged, it's either dirty or bad.

2. IF the car starts better while pumping the accel, it means it's trying
to
start with too little gas, but there is gas available

could be an air leak after the throttle body (check vacuum lines), bad
TPS,
stuck IAC or a flaky ECT sensor (unlikely)

The good news is that if you replace the platinum originals with double
platinum replacements, you'll probably only have to do it once in the life
of the car.

I'm hoping that if anyone else has a Taurus heater problem, what I did
would work for them too. I was definately not wanting to have to go
through the hell to replace the core. Being how this is the wifes car,
every little squeak and rattle would have been MY FAULT! lol
