Recently, I had to replace the battery in my car. Then I went in for state inspection and the car failed. The tech said that I needed to drive my car 100 miles. I went online and started to read about driving cycles. Legally, one thing I can't do is get on the freeway. Would this make a difference in my preparation for the next inspection? Do I really need to drive 100 miles?
My neighbor gave me their old car. It's a 1991 Ford Escort. I'm thinking about putting in a new stereo How difficult would that be cause I've never done it before.

I Drive a 4 Door Ford Escort (93) 5 Speed. I Shift to a higher gear when i hit 3000RPM, And Downshift when it goes under 2000RPM, But i do not REV Match when i downshift. Is this bad? And should i learn to REV Match for my current car? If so, How DO i REV Match for my car?
Added (1). I Should have Added, I Do not Jolt at all when I downshift, it is completely smooth, But I want to do what is better for my vehicle. I Absolutely love Manuals and I plan on getting more and I'm just trying to expand my knowledge on them starting from here.
Where can I find a Ford Escort Mk 1 to hire for a wedding? Lancashire area?
I was driving and downshifted to gain some speed and not much happened. After giving a certain amount of gas the rpms would go up like it's in neutral. While trying to find a place to park it, it would catch whatever gear I was in and go a little bit but barely. Too much gas and rpms go through the roof but no grinding or anything. Clutch is loose but it always was. Just wanna know what I'm dealing with so I can fix it. From a dead stop, putting it in gear and giving gas will make it move but barely and rpms go to about 2500 before it starts to move. Pretty sure it's a clutch issue but I wanna know what part would cause this so I can replace it and also a reference to a good raplacenment guide would be greatly appreciated
When gas tank is full and car parked in garage it smells of gas fumes. I found bad fill hose and clamps and replaced but still the smell is there but only when the tank is full. If I only put 10 dollars of gas in at a time no problems. No obvious leaks.
Why would a 2002 ford escort rib up a few times then died?
