I have one real PATS key cut and programmed for my 97 Mark VIII. I have a key from a car being junked, paired with a plain key cut for my car for a backup. I want to remove the RFID/chip from the key and attach it either to the plain key or to a smaller item on the key ring. I have done...

I obsessively watch the you pull it places inventory, and get Emails when cars I setup to get notifications come in. 98 Mark VIII fresh in the yard! I am looking for a door, good headlights, and maybe a center tail light, and any interior bits that are broken in graphite. Get there 10...

So I have been fighting with a couple of codes, and the dash not showing what gear I am in, inability to manually select second, and message center message of gear select err (and blinking OS light with check transmission in message center). 2 codes I got are p0705 and p0708: P0705 -...

Heard some multiple 5.0 power go after it ahead of me, so had to check it out. Figured it would be a couple of Mustangs, but low and behold a Mark VII. I wanted to get a closer look, but his tail lights were sketchy and not real sure when he was on the brakes or not...

I have a list of vehicles that if they show up in the you pull it place, I have to go check them out. Mark VIIIs show up at the rate of 2 per year. Anyone have any others? I know the more common suspension and drive train things between MN12 and FN10s, so I don't list those here...

So as always, car is due for emissions test, and for the last 11 months and 2 weeks, no CEL, and all monitors passed (even Evap, which I squeaked by last emission test with it not being complete yet, but not failing). CEL is on starting this morning, codes are p0705 and p0708. I know I need to...

My 97 Mark VIII with 134,000 miles is getting noisy in the front end. One UBJ boot is gone, the other is split. It already has a cheap set of coil springs on it replacing the air suspension. I have a 97 Cougar that is wrecked, and the more I look at it, the less likely I am to fix it (needs...

Are the two things related? I would sometimes get the gear lever signal error and the dash wouldn't show I was in drive, but now it seems to be that way 90% of the time. I also found I can no longer manually physically select first or second. I can lock out OD with the button. If I try to...

I have some aftermarket rims, Dante Designs from 2004. I got hub ring adapters with them, and they help with installing (which with the deep narrow wells for the lugs, tough to install without). I know the wheels are lug centric as they have tapered lugs. Over the years I have slowly lost...

This started (well, won't start hahah) this week. Car sat for 4 or 5 days, turn key, nothing happens, no crank. Battery seems okay at 12.6 volts. The next day it started, so of course I drove it, and drove it a number of times. Once or twice there was a pause between having the key in start and...

I want to get a regular non PATS key cut for my 97. I am pushing my luck with only one key (not that I have ever lost a key, particularly any of my newer cars with PATS), and want to have a couple of keys cut that will fit the doors and the ignition. I have a couple of Mark VIII PATS keys...

Not real happy with the light output of some cheap 35w 6500k 9006 HIDs used to replace the OEM that I had a bulb go out. There was a 2000 Cougar next to the 98 Mark VIII, so while there, dissected one of the Cougars headlights. 1999-2000 had high and low projectors (01-02 had single). I...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrhWAK0b6AE It was fairly quick, the reason I crowded the red van is because this person stuffed the car in between a lot of cars, and I didn't want him doing it to me. Followed them for another 40 miles or so, for the large of amount of weaving they did, they...

1997 Mark VIII still has a bashed in door. Locally only one place has a door, they don't know, and they apparently cannot visually inspect it, if it is an LSC or base. From the 50 times I have talked to them, it seems like it is a base. How is the door moulding attached? Is it adhesive/double...

There currently is a 98 Base in the you pull it, with a door that seemed okay (scraped, but not damaged, the trim might be junk), but with these doors as heavy as they are, and no way I can remove it, from a car up on stacked rims, without dinging a corner or ripping a muscle. Tire really...

I am getting P0174 and P0172, I replaced the MAF to squeak it by emissions testing but still getting the code(s). Does this sound right? I know there is a little background wind, but this is the noisiest car I have ever heard. It has sat for awhile so the valve train noise doesn't scare me...

I didn't think it was going to be easy, but it seems different than I anticipated. I want to wait 5 seconds, have something press the Vehicle Settings button (to get to the first item, disable traction control), wait .1 seconds then press reset (to disable traction control). I first...

How is it removed on a gen II? Do I have to remove the ignition switch to get it off? If so, How does it come out? Previous owner had 20 keys on a ring and the trim piece looks less than stellar. It is mainly the coating, but the plastic underneath is also gouged. I want to wrap it with...

On my 97 Mark VIII I have what I think is a bad air leak (pretty loud sucking sound, and a P0174 code (and sometimes I get a P0171). I have ordered the gaskets for between the lower intake and the IRMCs, for the IRMC to heads, but can't seem to find the gaskets for between the upper and lower...

I don't really have the time or the want to replace the factory/dealer setup in my 97. It is a cassette deck with a dealer installed 6 disc changer on the passenger side. I have semi-reliably been using a cassette adapter plugged into a Bluetooth receiver, using my phone for streaming...
