comment 1994 Ford Escort won't start
Assuming you've got the 1.9L SOHC CVH, it sounds like you might have dropped a valve seat on one of the cylinders. Was that the reason the head was replaced in the first place? I don't think that explains the coolant loss, though, unless that was just a coincidence.

Do you know what engine you have? The 1.9L SOHC or the 1.8L DOHC? Autozone indicates 97% of '94 escorts have the 1.9L. Check the 8th position of your VIN number, 8 should be the 1.8L, J should be the 1.9L.

comment Ford Fiesta MK6 front fog light
What is the country of origin for this Fiesta? Trim level? Are you sure the Haynes Manual you have covers the year of your MKVI?

comment Oil change with front wheels on ramps?
Not an option in my case, unfortunately. Getting the oil pan off requires lifting the engine.

comment Cost of turning off airbag light on '96 Nissan Maxima
@JustinC The kids at the dealer will have three key advantages over your mechanic - They'll have the factory shop manual on paper or in electronic form which will likely have a troubleshooting tree for the airbag system along with wiring diagrams. They'll also have the proper tool that will identify the specific fault that is triggering the light. Finally, they'll have information on how long the various tasks should take so they can give you a reasonably accurate estimate (or at least best case / worst case numbers).

comment Why is there oil pooled around the spark plugs on a 2.0L Zetec in a 1998 Ford Contour LX?
Valve cover gasket replaced. After a few miles, including a couple exits on an interstate, the spark plugs are dry.
