Car starting problem

[ariansworld]

I was bashed by you guys for wanting to put a v8 in my focus. It can be done, has been done, and will continue to be done.

that's nothing new.

i've seen pintos with 302's and 351's. i even saw one with a boss 302 in it.

i've seen falcons with 427's stuffed in em. i've seen a k-car with a 440 magnum in it. all street legal.


focuses are actually better cars than they get credit for.

i think it's the hysteria thing.........someone exclaims how much car X sucks, then everyone jumps onboard, without ever even knowing what they;'re talking about.


if you have a v8 in yours, i;d love to see it....it HAS to be awsome!

I didn't "bash" you.  I merely said "Is it really worth the time and effort", if you revert back to that post of mine.

The emissions system is greek to me in my brief car know how.  Plus I didn't have time to really deal with the car myself.  I took it into the dealer.  They did the emissions and engine control test, evap test and some fuel and ignition testing.  They ended up replacing the vapor management valve as it was stuck closed which was bringing up the P0455 code.

All for a nice $297.43 bill.  But I was prepared to see this.

The emissions warranty for the Focus was 3 years or 36,000 miles.  About a year and 14,000 miles outside of that.
