  1. '06 Escape XLT 4WD 3.0L issues

    150K miles. It had just 11K when I bought it 7 years ago.1) The stupid leather / vinyl door panel pieces keep coming unglued. I have tried fabric adhesive, gorilla glue and double sided tape to hold them, but they keep coming loose on the borders. I can't get that crap tucked back under the...
  2. 2006 Escape 3.0 - low idle when cold

    They replaced a bad motor mount, PCV valve, and 'cleaned' the MAF. It is smoother, but the idle still drops to 500 on my onboard tach at stoplights. I shift into neutral, and idle goes up to about 650. Should there be that much difference in RPMs between D and N? I wonder if they can just go in...

    This car is still driving me nuts....Recently has the valve cover gaskets replaced, still no change. A while back, the CEL came on, O'Reilly's checked it out, it pointed to an O2 sensor. He cleared it, and the CEL has not come back on. What symptoms would a bad O2 sensor produce?There are a...

    My mechanic kept the car for two days, he can't find anything. He did the carb spray test, he even tested for a leaky head gasket. I assume he checked all vacuum lines, including brake booster line. Nothing. He gave it back to me and told me to bring it back if it acted up again in colder...
  6. 2006 Escape 3.0 - low idle when cold

    Thanks, y'all! Dustybumpers, pardon my ignorance, but what is a TSB? My mechanic 'cleaned' the throttle body when they did the fuel system cleaning. I am somewhat of a 'novice' about this stuff. I have noticed that my brakes feel kinda 'spongy', and the pedal makes a mteal-against-rubber noise...
  7. 2006 Escape 3.0 - low idle when cold

    Thanks! Intake gaskets are new - less than a month old.How would the brake booster affect it? Would it be worse when cold and better when warm? I have noticed that the rubber boot around the booster makes an annoying noise, like it's all dried out. I have sprayed it with silicone.

    Hello, all!I found several FTE sites on the Interweb, and apparently I am already a member of at least one of them, even though they can't confirm my email. Oh, well... So, now i"ll jump right into the problem...:)About 2 years ago, right after I had my spark plugs changed at 100K miles (and...
