30+ year ford guy here.. have had several escapes but not a hybrid. very impressed with the overall vehicle. still getting used to the ride but loving the mpg.. 39.6 so far with 94 miles!! so ill be lurking around and posting from time to time..    

hello I got a 2005 Ford escape XLT v6. before I was having a problem where the gas gauge kept dropping the E and the check engine light would come on and it would give the p463 code. so I tried a new fuel pump and tried a different cluster and I get the same results.

Noob here. Seeking help. The engine in my 2008 Ford Escape XLS 2.3l is shot and no longer usable. I live on Guam in the Pacific and it is difficult to fine a donor car with the same year, make, and model. I understand that there are other Ford vehicles which may have compatible engines. Tried calling the local Ford dealer and couldn’t get any help from them so thought I’d try here. The part number for the engine is 8L8Z 6007B. Any help that you all can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Yes the eclipse should be standard issue Ford bumper clips and the bolts are grade 8 1-1/4 

Have you looked into your MAF, (mass air flow sensor) O² sensors, cam and/or crankshaft sensors?

You are so welcomed.  Ty for asking for my help.  Like to know how it works out for you.  Keep in touch. 

I noticed that too.. must be a ford thing..  

Thanks for the response! I’m afraid I’ll have to replace my tank too. Called Ford and they said there isn’t a grommet between the tank and filler hose. I may try to use a gas tank repair kit and see if it will seal the leak. Thanks again for the help!

Just want to add I'm not sure if $200 was good labor deal, I know a shop would have wanted more and prob wouldn't have let me bring in my own gas tank buy.  I bought gas tank evening dec 30th.  Guy came put in during day of dec 31st.  In time for the new year celebration which always includes fireworks around here and I was afraid something might roll underneath where fumes were escaping and something "big" would happen.  Idk if was legit concern for me but I will always be thankful to the guy who took the time to help me out at that time because a lot of people would have just been sitting around waiting for the new year to come, so ty ty ty.
