Do I need to replace the timing belt tensioner when I change the timing belt?
It's a 98 Ford Ranger 4x2 with the 2.5L 4 cyl. It broke the timing belt. How do I know if I should change the timing belt idler / tensioner when I do the belt? Can I tell if it's bad? Neither my local parts guys or the Ford dealer stocks it, only the belt. Anything else I should be looking at while it's apart?
4 AnswersFord1 decade agoMy 2000 Ford Windstar wouldn't start. Could a non-PATS key have caused a problem?
I couldn't start my 2000 Windstar with either correctly coded key. The 'THEFT' light flashed rapidly telling me it had a PATS issue.
My local Ford dealer told me it had to be towed to them and for $125 they would need to reprogram both keys. I tried the reprogram method suggested by Marc87GN in Yahoo Answers http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AttIb... and now everything works fine.
If someone tried to start it with a non-PATS or incorrect key would it lock me out like this?

I remember when I was in school, many years ago, reading that gasoline was chosen as a fuel source because it was a by-product of some other process or product. I don't remember the source and can't find anything on it now.

4 AnswersTennis1 decade agoI'm adding a wireless Access Point to my wireless network. What do I set the SSID & channel to?
Right now my wireless router and my new wireless access point are set to the same SSID & have the same WEP key. My intent is to have my devices talk to whichever unit has the stronger signal. Should they have the same channel too or will this cause some data collision or confusion?
3 AnswersComputer Networking1 decade agoWhat's involved in changing rear disc brake pads on a 2006 Impala?
I've done many brake jobs, but never a newer Impala. I know many newer cars have calipers that screw (adjust) out for the e-brake. Is the Impala like this? Any thing else weird I should know about?

I used to collect postage stamps back when you had to lick them. If I was to start collecting modern selfstick stamps would the adhesive stain or ruin the stamp over time?

3 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs1 decade agoHow can I determine if it's worhwhile to change my heating system from Heating Oil to Propane?
When I talk to my propane dealer he tells me it'll save lots of money. When I talk to my oil man he tells me it's not worth the cost. What do I need to know to get to the bottom of this? There has to be some way to compare apples to oranges. FWIW I'm in New England.
