FORD ESCORT "ZX2" - 2002 -

CAR RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT. RESPONSIVE WITH POWER.  GOOD ECONOMICAL 4 CYL ENGINE. AUTOMATIC.  GOOD TRANSMISSION AND DRIVETRAIN. SUPER COLD AC; NO FREON LEAKS.  TIRES ABOUT 80%. BRAKES GOOD. NEW BATTERY, NEW FUEL FILTER.  CAR DOES NOT LEAK ANY FLUIDS TO THE GROUND.  CLEAN INTERIOR WITH DECENT LOOKING CLOTH SEATS.  NON SMOKER.  145K MILES.  BODY & PAINT IS IN GOOD SHAPE, NO RUST OR FADING PAINT.  THERE ARE A FEW SCRATCHES THAT HAVE BEEN TOUCHED UP.  ALSO THERE ARE A FEW DENTS ON THE DOOR PANELS.   OTHERWISE GOOD BODY.

I'VE HAD THIS CAR FOR THE PAST 3 YRS.  THE CAR DRIVES GOOD.  RECENTLY, I HAD AN ISSUE WHERE IT WOULD TURN OFF WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP OCCASIONALLY, BUT ALWAYS STARTS RIGHT BACK UP.  I TOOK IT TO GOODYEAR MECHANIC CENTER WHERE THEY ATTEMPTED TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE (RECEIPTS AVAIL), AND RECOMMENDED A FUEL FILTER CHANGE AS WELL AS THROTTLE BODY CLEANED, WHICH I DID.  UNFORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO DO THIS.  WHEN I TOOK IT BACK THE 2ND TIME THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSE IT UNTIL THIS HAPPENED MORE FREQUENTLY.  THERE IS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, BUT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS ISSUE AND SOMETHING ABOUT ENGINE TIMING, SPITTING OUT JUST 1 CODE (I'VE HAD THIS LIGHT ON FOR THE DURATION OF OWNING THIS CAR AND HAS NOT BEEN AN ISSUE).

I ENDED UP GETTING A NEW CAR BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO CHASE A GHOST.  THIS CAR IS A GREAT CAR, AND WILL MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY IF THEY KNOW HOW TO WORK ON THEM.  THIS ISSUE MIGHT BE AN IDLE VALVE; WOULD BE MY SECOND GUESS.  I JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO DEAL WITH IT SINCE IT'S INTERMITTENT AND THE MECHANIC DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS EITHER.

CAR IS BEING SOLD AS IS, NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED.  FEEL FREE TO COME BY APPT AND SEE IT.  

THANKS FOR VIEWING.  FOR ALL FEATURES SEE ABOVE.

Ford abandons MyFord Touch, all hail Sync 3 infotainment [w/video]

Thu, Dec 11 2014

MyFord Touch has been among the most widely disdained automotive infotainment systems on the market, practically since its introduction in 2010. Consumer Reports was among the most vocal critics, all but advocating its lynching by an angry mob armed with torches and pitchforks. Not surprisingly, then, after such a critical walloping, Ford has finally decided to say goodbye to the unloved tech, declaring the end of MyFord Touch branding in favor of Sync 3 for its upcoming, all-new system. Ford is promising everything you would expect from Sync 3, including faster response time, better voice-command integration, easier controls and a more useable interface. The screen layout includes fewer items to make them easier to discern, and the icons are made from large, high-contrast buttons. There's also a dedicated tab for apps at the bottom of the screen in addition to those for audio, climate, phone and navigation. Another useful feature is the fact that Sync 3 can download improvements over your home Wi-Fi for easier updates. In addition to the revamped interface, the software running behind the scenes is a big change too. Rather than MyFord Touch's Microsoft-sourced system, Sync 3 uses the Blackberry-owned QNX, according to Automotive News. Such a switch was rumored earlier this year. Drivers still have to live with MyFord Touch a little longer, though. According to Automotive News, Ford said that the change to Sync 3 will happen during the 2016 model year with complete integration into the lineup by the end of the 2016 calendar year. It will come standard on Titanium trim models and as a separate option will be priced in line with the current MyFord Touch. The Sync 3 brand will carry over to Lincoln, too, but with a different look. The gallery above shows a few more looks at the interface, and we invite you to scroll down to watch a video of Sync 3 in action and to read Ford's press release about it, below.

Ford F-450 claims best-in-class towing, company abandons practice of removing items to boost payload number

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

The ongoing heavy-duty truck battle between Ford and Ram is showing no signs of slowing down. The Blue Oval is trying to remove at least one point of contention between the two brands by testing its 2015 F-450 Super Duty using the Society of Automotive Engineers J2807 towing standard, which Ram also uses. In the new evaluation, the F-450 is rated at a max towing capacity of 31,200 pounds. That's an identical amount as under Ford's own, previous test.
"We leave no doubt with customers that the F-450 pickup truck has best-in-class towing of 31,200 pounds - whether tested using our own internal towing standards or SAE J2807," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president for Global Product Development, in the company's release.
At the same time, Ford is also changing how it calculates the F-450's payload. Instead of using its minimum curb weight as before, the brand is now using the truck's base curb weight. The revision lowers the pickup's rating to 5,300 pounds, compared to 5,450 pounds previously. The company said in its announcement that the reason for this is "aligning its payload rating practices with other manufacturers to make it easier for customers to compare vehicles." General Motors made a similar switch for its pickups in August.

Ford's official Euro aftermarket partner Mountune coming to US

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

Now that we're getting a steady stream of Ford's European offerings, the aftermarket world is finally starting to catch up as well. UK-based aftermarket tuning company, Mountune has just announced that it will be setting up shop in California to provide high-performance and racing parts for Ford vehicles including the Focus ST and Fiesta ST.
Mountune lays claim to being Ford's "official European tuning partner," and US buyers will soon have access to these parts through Ford dealerships and with a Ford Racing warranty. Speaking of Ford Racing, Mountune also says that it will be working with Ford's in-house team to develop future components for both street and track. There are no specifics as of yet for which products will be offered here, but the company plans to launch a US-specific website later this month with more information.
