Engine light is on after washing engine?

I took my Ford Escape to the car wash and washed off the engine. It drove home OK, but today it is shuddering, the RPMs guage will only go halfway, and the check engine light is on. What up?

Car sputters every once in awhile while driving as well as when stopped

My car is a ford escape V6 3.0 liter 2003

Every so often when i'm driving the car will do this sputtering motion(around 30-40 MPH) as well as when i'm stopped.

I recently replaced all the spark plugs and seals for many different things (valve cover gaskets, air intake, spark plug seals, air intake and exaust) to see if that would fix the problem (But nope didn't change) it still sputters. Any idea what it could be?

I replaced all of those things because the engine made a burning smell (oil) but thats a completely different question(unless someone can help… Like i said. Replaced all those things. Still makes burning smell. But i figure thats the residue. I've only driven it like 20 miles and still making burning smell. Do i just drive longer?)

08 Ford Escape Window has no power, Why?

I changed out the regulator on the window, because the window was all the way down, after changing it, my girlfriend told me that she rolled down the window down herself, but it didn't roll back up -__- . The window appears to have no power, it has a brand new motor, the fuse works because all other windows roll up and down, but when pressing the driver side control for the front passenger window, along with the switch for the passenger window itself, neither work. Wiring seems intact and other windows work…

My car fuse caught on fire, and burned some of my battery

So long story short, I drive an 2009 Ford Escape. I have been having ignition troubles lately, but I've thought nothing of it.

Anyway, tonight I went to start my car and a small fire started under my hood. I immediately screamed for my boyfriend to come and help, and luckily with a hose we were able to put it out quickly.

He said what was burning was the fuse box, and the battery looks like part of it was burned as well. I called my dealer, and a tow truck will be here in the morning.

Question is… Will my car be salvageable salvageable? I'm guessing repairs are going to cost quite a lot… Anyone have an idea?

What are some sturdy Early Model SUV S with 4LO?

I have a ford escape with 4wd. But it doesn't have 4LO, ford hasn't made a model of escape that has 4LO.

I'm just looking for some SUVS that have 4LO and are strong and will at least last.

I would prefer earlier models (2000 s- 2010) but what are some suggestions.

I know JEEPS have 4 LO 4 HI and 2WD. But i've read some reviews on where they are rattleboxes that don't last all that long.

And lastly. I don't want something big like a Chevy silverado or truck.

I prefer American made since I feel as if parts are easier and cheaper to come by and install

What are some suggestions?
