I know this video is long but it covers a lot. Nobelheight has given me quite a few questions to answer so I decided to answer them here. The cover a wide range, everything from aerodynamics to coolant color. Sit back and try to absorb if you can. I may be doing more of this type of video in the future to give quick answers to questions posed so if you have questions post them to this video. If you post the question in the form of a video response you will get a video answer, I make no promises for the rest.

UPDATE” FINALLY FIXED!
Stymied Ford Mechanics, plus spending money just to try stuff, without success, is frustrating,. And since the car ran fine most of the time, I decided to get this light out of my face and continue to march with my fix..
BUT, Since the car IS missing occasionally, and the codes state that, while in Littleton CO a Meinike dealer said the computer sees lean cylinders in the right rear two, and locks on a RICH injector, thus flooding those 2 rear cylinders.
He said it is caused by a leaking manifold or gasket, which there is a service bulletin on.
Price at Ford to Fix, Approx $1,900.
SO it turns out that this was all BULL. WHY?
*** Second UPDATE. FIXED!
A fellow subscriber wrote and told me to change the IAC
( Idle Air Control Valve).
It cost $69 from Dick at Sibley Auto parts here in town who also suggested it could be the EGR valve.
So I removed and plugged that vacuum line, and put the new IAC in.
Within 5 minutes the light turned out. Thanks so very kindly for that.
Thanks for watching.

I have a honda civic 2002 coupe ex. The left side of the lower front control arm is breaking down. If I change the left side bushing will I have to change the right side as well?
Or will it be better if I just change the entire left control arm?
I would change both sides bushings and then get it aligned.
My friend is selling her VW bug but she says there are some electrical problems. Are they somewhat easy to fix? (My dad knows a lot about fixing cars and he would be the one to fix it)
In my opinion, yes the electrical problems would be easy to fix. The owner manual documents everything quite well.
covers most issues.
