My car is having many problems?
I have a 2000 Ford Focus ZTS and my brake pedal feels so hard my car don't even stop right when i want it to. Right now i'm and testing the brake booster and i can't decide if that is the problem. Also when i'm driving at any speed and then release the accelerator the car sounds like it has a struggle on the release of acceleration. It has trouble going up hills and it use to never have that problem. We found a hose that was wear down and bought a new one from Ford. I don't feel safe driving the car when it is busy because people stop rapidly and my car needs way more time for breaking. These are the only two big problems i have right now.
Most boosters have a check valve and they can go bad, check it out. Located in line close to booster.
IF IT HAS A VACUUM BRAKE BOOSTER LIKE IT SOUNDS, THEN THAT MAY HAVE FAILED. THAT CAN EFFECT BOTH THE BREAKING AND THE ENGINE SPEED.
- My '06 Ford Taurus is having what i'm assuming transmission problems, any ideas? The other day while attempting to back up a small slope, my engine revved up and a message came on the info area of my dash saying to check the transmission. I turned off the car, turned it on and the check engine light was on. I go home and check the trans fluid and it's full. The next day I start my car and the check engine light is off, but now my car shakes on heavy acceleration and gear changes. I'm not a car person. Any ideas?
- Shifting problems and intake problems? I drive a 1997 ford ranger with a 2.3l automatic. I have recently experienced a hard shifting in my truck even when I'm not on the gas it has problems shifting. And I cleaned my air filter and filter hose that goes to my throttle body and there was transmission fluid in the hose. What can be causing this and how can I fix it or how much will it cost roughly?
