Ac works no heat

Could be problem with temp door? Do the heater hoses get hot? Does the engine reach normal operating temp? if not, check your thermostat. Can you check coolant flow through heater core? All I can do is list some possibilities.

Had timing belt fail had to replace head cams now all setup now no start

You need to start checking for spark on a spark plug wire. If there is spark, check for gas. If no spark, it is something in the ignition system- get a wiring diagram and digital voltmeter to diagnose.

No heat but a/c ok

Either your heater blend door is stuck or the vacuum line to the blend door has fallen off. Was your heater working before? It is possible that the heater core was bypassed due to a leak (not uncommon in Ford products).

Remove the bed of the truck to get to the fuel line

I see this is an old question, but I thought I'd put my two cent worth in anyway. My first piece of advice...STOP! It's much easier to drain the fuel tank, unbolt the two straps and lower the tank to access the fuel feed and fuel return lines. You can do it by yourself if you make sure you've drained all the fuel first. I've done the job with no problems. My second piece of advice... As long as you've got the tank down, go ahead and replace the two feet of rubber fuel hoses. It'll only cost a couple of buck and it will be one less thing to worry about down the road. Good luck and Happy New Year, Bill

How do i change cabin air filter

Cabin air filter should not cause no heat problem. Should be in the owners manual as to how to replace it. Make sure the engine thermostat is working properly as well as enough coolant in the system. Or possible a blend door problem inside the HVAC system under the instrument panel. I have seen pencil/pens fall into older Fords when I was a line technician that got caught in the door travel and made it stick so no heat would blow out.

Why does my door open door sounds when turning right ?

Your door might be slightly loose so the sensor feeling if the door is open is triggered when the g-forces of your car going right pushes the left door out. (I guess it's the driver's door that creates this problem) try to look at the sensor, it should be on the door-frame somewhere. see if it is loose or has any other problems.
