Question edited for a lot more clarity and fix funky punctuation. Question moved to make model category. Totally a guess here, but it sounds like the clutch line ruptured somewhere and sprayed the engine with brake fluid so you smelled burning oil. If it was empty of brake fluid, you have a system full of air, and if the pipe is split or seals have blown, pressing the clutch pedal won't do anything. The system needs checking from the clutch master cylinder to the clutch slave cylinder.

VCT solenoid ????? IAC - idle air control valve . YOUR Vehicle has an IAC valve . Your vehicle does not have a VCT solenoid Variable Cam Timing Variable Camshaft Timing is an automobile variable valve timing technology developed by Ford. It allows for more optimum engine performance, reduced emissions, and increased fuel efficiency compared to engines with fixed camshafts. It uses electronically controlled hydraulic valves that direct high pressure engine oil into the camshaft phaser cavity. These oil control solenoids are bolted into the cylinder heads towards the front of the engine near the camshaft phasers. The powertrain control module transmits a signal to the solenoids to move a valve spool that regulates the flow of oil to the phaser cavity. The phaser cavity changes the valve timing by rotating the camshaft slightly from its initial orientation, which results in the camshaft timing being advanced or retarded. The PCM adjusts the camshaft timing depending on factors such as engine load and RPM.

Wiring, schematic, electrical diagrams, fuse diag, error codes, torque settings etc are basic contents of these online books they have here on this website www.reliable-store.com I have attached. Must check it out

Dealer or a mobile lock smith that is licensed . Without the master you can't do anything

was the pressure gauge connected to the discharge side or the suction side of the compressor if you have it connected to the suction side , you have excessive gas in the system

replace the front disc pads /rotor check wheel bearings for adjustment and serviceability

I would say there is a short somewhere. You can get a resetable fuse.

The clutch is not adjustable it is fully hydraulic. That means it is self adjusting, if the clutch pedal engages high on the pedal and the clutch is hard to push you need a new clutch plate and pressure plate.

What is the make of your wagon? Regardless you shouldn't be drilling holes anywhere. Check your rear window seal, tailgate or lift gate seals.

How old is the battery? Do you know for sure the alternator is charging? Batteries older than 3 years would be suspect.

Radio codes are intended as a theft deterrent so you can't access them freely. Record your vehicle VIN and the Serial number off the radio chassis and go here: www.radiocodes.com

It's in the gas tank. Just make sure the fuel pump is the problem and not something else. Check for applicable trouble codes. There are some codes for the fuel pump driver module. There is also an inertia switch, something to check.

Hi Connie: The steering wheel lock is an integral part of the vehicle anti-theft security. The proper key for the ignition is the correct procedure. Any responsible FIXYA person will NOT tell you how to disable it as it would publicly inform dishonest persons as to how to be able to more easily steal vehicles. My suggestion for you would be to contact a dealer for your make and model, and get a replacement key. You will be required to provide proof of ownership. Cheers

I would do a leakage test on the suspect cylinder and compare with a couple others. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/chris_b82b45c59bcf133d

If it is a stock radio from the auto manufacturer it has probably gone into security mode. This happens when power is removed from the radio, such as during removal and replacement or during battery replacement operations. This is a security feature to discourage radio theft. It is generally a PITA. You need to check with Ford (or a local dealer) to determine what information you need to obtain to get an unlock code for the radio. Then follow the instructions given to release the radio for operation.
