Spoke to the guy that did the work. He said there is supposed to be a check ball that seats and stops the back flow of fuel. It appears mine isn't seating correctly. Ooof. Thank you FlaOkie. Temp has never mattered to how it starts. Before the pump change it would only crank 2-3 seconds and fire...

I was curious now that I'm repaired and back on the road, if you've had any issues with cold starts. it seems my car is now hard to start after it has sat for a while. I've been finding out that if I cycle the key a few times before beginning to crank that it does start a little easier. My car...

If the switch in the trunk is turned off, that's why you get that error for the suspension. I know there was a wire I could terminate in my older Mark VIII when the air ride was removed, I would think the continental is similar.

I may have to give this a try as I'm out of ideas. I replaced motor and it wasn't even bad. It worked using my alligator clips hooked directly to battery(the old motor). I will wait for warmer weather before I try to force it. It's 15 degrees and snowing today here in Michigan. I'm not sure...

Keep tugging on it. The clips are very tight. There are 2 screws along bottom, one on the side near door lock, and the 2 in the door pull pocket. I personally have removed both door panels recently trying to figure out why passenger window just clicks and won't move, and my drivers window the...

On my 2002 there is a Fuel pump control module in the trunk attached to the back of the back seat. My shop thought it was bad. Hard to find part, but I did locate 29 of them in a warehouse in Memphis TN. Also Dorman solutions makes a control module that crosses with our cars parts, and I spoke...

A previous Conti that I owned had an intermittent PATS issue. I found that when I turned the key on before engaging starter if the PATS was going to be an issue the red light on the dash would flash quickly. That car required me to lower steering wheel 1 detent and it worked every time. That's...

From memory, the dealer will have to program the fob. I believe I read at one time that 2 fobs already programmed are needed to program more without dealer help. I found this out about a decade ago when I purchased new fobs because my car at the time only had one. I believe you also might need...

Ouch. Only 83k. I'm at 148k. I poured through the workshop manuals I have for the car. If anyone else sees this there is no fuse or relay for the pump. Hopefully for my sake its just the pump. Thank you!

I have been looking but can’t seem to find a fuse or relay for fuel pump. 2002 Conti Went out into driveway to start car and warm it up, because it’s cold. Car started and ran right. Went back into house. Came back a few minutes later and it had stalled and won’t restart. I don’t hear the fuel...

Thank you! It does help. At $4 a piece for used does seem pricey, but he has 9 sets available so I can sit on it and make offer if needed. Thank you! I never even knew about that site. I'm sure it will come in handy

I was wondering if any of you might know the part number for a door panel clip? I have to remove both front door panels to service my power windows. The sash clips pulled off of the drivers side and the pass side just clicks regardless of what button I use. I've purchased a different driver...

Yes, compressor kicked on.

I'll have to pay a bit more attention. I do believe the compressor is working since the rear of the car raises to level out the ride. Bought 5 bags of mulch last night. After I removed them from the trunk, there was easily an 8 inch gap between the tire and fender, exactly what I would expect...

I realize our number are small here. 2002 Continental with the semi active suspension. I've begun to notice that the rear suspension no longer releases when I park car. From my own experience, once all doors and the trunk is closed the rear suspension will click, and you can watch the car lower...
