Hey thanks for this post. I've been having the same problem in my 99 for years. Tried chasing it down for a while but eventually just gave up and have been living without AC. Murder in the summer. I thought I'd checked all the grounds; and am not finding any grounds in the service manual...

Quick question. I'm thinking of doing the coil swap you suggest here (right after I replace the massively leaking valve cover gaskets/seals that are filling the plug chambers w/ oil). Only thing that concerns me is that, judging from the picture on Summit's website, these coils are hard...

Hey thanks man. Cool link. I did wind up taking it in to get it done. The estimate was right smack in the middle of the range in the repairpal link, so I figured I wasn't getting robbed.

So the ol water pump has started leaking today on the 99 Continental. Figures. On Thursday I got new tires. Friday I washed and detailed it. Saturday I gave'r new brakes. ...And on Sunday the water pump goes. This is the thanks I get, eh car!??! So now my quandary is to either replace...

Well, if you're not having any vibrations, it tracks straight, and the tire pressure is good, then I'd venture a guess that the uneven tire wear might be due to driving style. Given your mention of torque steer and traction control, I'm assuming you're a pretty fast/aggressive driver? (not...

Well, I'm still learning my way through this car, so maybe someone will know better; but from what I've always gathered (and what the 99 Conti service manual is showing me too), the Crankshaft Position Sensor affects ignition, not fuel. Beyond that, the pump should prime (i.e. pressurize the...

Hey thanks for the confirmation. Yah, your link essentially quoted the link I had, but the mustang forum had more input in it too, so cool. THAT question is answered. As for the fuse problem, not much more I can add. Pulled the front driver fender liner off so I could access the wiring...

Is the switch still working? I'd have half a mind not to worry about it too much if it's just some grease and the part is still working. I used to have an old Mitsubishi Starion that went through a brief period of occasionally smoking from the dash. I moved my fire extinguisher from the trunk...

OK. IMRC update: Further digging online has hinted that the '99 Cobra and '99 Continental DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE an IMRC, as they have a tumble port head design that eliminates the need for IMR valves. Taken on its own, I'd be hesitant to accept this, however there is also: A- I have yet to...

Well, personally I prefer RWD cars too. Not just for their sporting pretensions, but they're just generally more mechanically friendly for your DIYer like me/us. Still, this car was a gift so I'm not gonna complain about it; and other than this horrid fuse problem, the thing's just flat out a...

Yeah, I've sorta noticed that. Still, I plan on posting updates here just in the off chance anybody else ever has a similar problem and is trying to find answers. I definitely appreciate ANY input. Sometimes the smallest suggestion can lead to new ideas. For instance I really hadn't...

Since last update the fuse now starts blowing as soon as I turn the key to the ON position. Went through and sanded down, cleaned and tightened every single ground on the car. Inspected the entirety of the under-hood wiring harness. Short of unwrapping the entire thing, I couldn't find...

I should also note that, with a new fuse in, the car throws no codes (whether turned off, or idling). After fuse is blown, I get the code for the "wide open throttle sensor". I assume this is tied into the AC system; but suspect it's only throwing the code since the sensor (along with the...

:( Specifically, fuse 34: AC Clutch cycling pressure switch; AC Clutch relay Sensor; Intake Manifold Runner Control; Backup Lamps; and Console Shift Illumination (although strangely, this last one still works even with the fuse blown). I can stick a new fuse in and start the car without it...

Hi All! Yes, I'm new here. Not new to vehicles though. Current rides include a 78 Ford F250 (dual fuel propane/gasoline conversion) 96 Ford E150 work van. 335k city miles on the clock so far w/o a rebuild. Company owned, but I do all the driving and mechanical on it. My most recent...
