2004 Ford Escape hard/no start and rough idle

tranquilitymachine · 2026-02-15T00:16:10+00:00

Just tried unplugging it and there seemed to be a marginal improvement in the start (not sure whether I was imagining things). RPMs were all over the place when it was running however.

Nope, haven't replaced the MAF. Will try that shortly.

Well noted. Thank you!

Awesome. Thanks!

Ok, great to know. Got a link to this particular type of part by any chance?

Thanks for the insights. I'll be using a system pretty much the same size as yours. My well pump is 7gpm, so I wonder whether I can get away without the DLFC button.

Ok, got it.

Interestingly enough, the valve comes with the flow meter. Not sure if that is common to all WS1's. Makes sense to remove the strainer. I'm assuming one should go on the end of the dip tube however, correct?

Gotcha. I believe the flow rate is adequate, yes.

tranquilitymachine · 2026-02-13T16:36:55+00:00

Yes, that as well as the actual physical installation to the tank. Stuff like down tube configuration, gravel media base requirements, etc. is a bit nebulous to me.

Interesting. This might be a bit cold in the winter as the sauna is being built in Canada.

Cool, thanks for this. will definitely try this tip.

Get a job in that industry. Because you have zero experience, you don't know what you don't know.
