I have a couple questions now that I found this website. I did a search but didnt find any clear conclusions. My 'first' question is about the AC system. My dad's car has the automatic climate control and the AC quit working on him. He thought it was the compressor and has been runnig the car without AC for maybe two years until I decided to check things out a bit. I checked teh compressor and it still works. Then I did a quick search here and some said that if you are low on freeon it will stop the compressor from working until the system is refilled. Im not 100% sure if this is correct, and since im not VERY familiar with the taurus or AC systems altogether (yet) i decided to let the experts here give me some hints. If the refill is necessary, since the car hasnt had the AC working for a long time, is this something I can do my self (what tools?) or would I need to take it to a shop to get purged and stuff? Im pretty mechanically inclined so im more worried about the tools and a set of directions than anything. Hope to hear from you guys soon...i should be frequenting the site more often now.
ps. by teh way, im also gonna do the motor mounts on my dad's car. Im pretty sure the passingers front is completely toast and is takin the pass. rear with it. The engine makes a HORRIBLE clunk when put in D and you can see the engine move alot when in gear...but before I ask i want to do a search and see what I can find.
