    Maintenance/upgrade suggestions while engine is out of car?

    Yes on the fuel pump. I did buy the whole Focus assembly, but will be using just the pump itself. It's honestly been a few years since I read up on the exact procedure; if I recall correctly there won't need to be any wire splices (e.g., the pump wiring is plug and play)...

    How to remove the EGR Valve?

    Where exactly should it be struck with a hammer? I used PB Blaster and let it sit; the exhaust pipe connection freed with moderate effort. But the 2 bolts...I'm afraid I'll strip them if I keep trying. I'm replacing it so if I have to destroy the old one that's fine...

    EGR valve

    I'm planning on changing my EGR valve shortly, and looking for advice among many threads I came across this one...as I bought the car used, and if I notice actual performance gains after changing the EGR, I will be happy too as jb513 was when he was sharing his story. Oftentimes we can't find...

    Code P0108

    K&N installed 5-6 months ago. Yes this code occurred only after the K&N was installed. MAF is plugged in (although I will double check the connection tonight). The MAF has not been cleaned in at least 21 months (as long as I've owned the car).

    Factory Ford Escape in dash 6-CD changer installed

    Just installed the Audiophile (-FD). Took about 4 minutes except the passenger side doesn't want to snap in fully. Also apparently came with 6 free CDs that I didn't expect. Sounds great and the speed volume thing is cool. Now on to the more challenging upgrades and fixes...
