Hi My trans is acting up slightly when the car idles below 1000rpms. I need to find out if a C4 transmission will fit this 32 valve engine. Any help in this matter will be appreciated. Has anyone here done this? If so where did you get your trans? I want to buy a new one from the factory.

It doesn't happen all the time but occasionally. I have noticed that when my Mark VIII is driving around 40 mph the rpm dropped to 1000rpms this is apparently normal for this car the overdrive is kicking in to conserve gasoline. I will cruise at this speed for a while. The problem I have noticed...

Everyone knows this. The politicians know that oil won't last forever and one has to ask themselve if they know this why aren't they doing something about it. The answer is simple. You don't bite the hand that feeds you. Politician are all forsale. Lobbist roam the halls in congress and in the...

They say prices should be going down by next Thursday. Apparently the refinaries that weren't damaged are refining more gas now to meet the demand (wouldn't you refine more if you could get more for it?) Don't expect prices below $2.50 a gallon for several weeks. If something happens elsewhere...

Today, gas prices reached $3.66 for regular. The no name gas stations are running out of gas. President Bush has handled this situation as he has handled the disaster with Katrina (at a snails pace). The American publics eyes are finally starting to open. They are exactly seeing the idiot they...

My 1995 Mark from time to time the check engine light turns on. I pull over and turn off the car and it goes away. I can drive with no further pop ups. I have checked the engine and nothing seems to be wrong. What causes this light to turn on? My car has a recent tuneup and all engine sensors...

Bush is behind this insanity! He went on national television to let us know that gas prices are going to go higher that he can't do a thing about it. What a joke! This is America. We can do anything. All we need is the right person behind the wheel. Look at what Franklin Roosevelt did for this...

I know in Europe gas cost a lot more but they get free health care with those huge gas prices. What are we getting? They say that the refinaries can't make enough for demand. My foot. If president bush cared about us. He would have the army core of engineers erecting new refinaries every month...

I was checking it wrong. When I checked it with the airconditioner on high the reading was between 25-40psi. I noticed that when I opened the can up so more freon would go in faster the pressure gauge would soar to 90psi. I let out the freon out very slowly which kept the gauge pressure within...

I had the air on automatic but not on full blast. Am I suppose to have it on full blast in order to fill it or take a reading? My mechanic didn't look for a leak. I will look under the hood for that information. If the system is leaking why would it have so much pressure in the tank? One would...

I own a 1995 Mark VIII and I was wondering if the tank by the passengerside firewall is where I am suppose to add the freon. I connected my hose there and I am getting a reading of 100 psi (red zone). Is this safe? Am I suppose to add freon to that connector by the tank near the firewall or is...

I want to thank everyone for their help. I purchased the cam and crank sensor today. I also installed both of them. My car started up with no problems. I especially want to thank 1wykdmk8 for giving step by step instructions to another individual who had this same problem. The cam sensor was no...

Where are the crank sensor and cam sensor located? Is there a website or a manual available at an auto park store that can help me with their location and replacement? Thanks again for the quick reply. :wrench :F

I own a 1995 Mark VIII. It has been starting fine in the morning it will take you where you want to go, but after parking it for a while it will not restart. It does crank and you can hear the pump but it won't start. I thought maybe the alarm was triggered which would cause the ignition to be...

Marks are expensive outside the U.S. Almost all American cars are expensive outside the US. Even in Puerto Rico which is a part of the US cars tend to be several thousand dollars more expensive. People there and around the world tend to buy Japanese and German made cars. Quality and excellent...
