Put gas in it over the weekend. Let it sit for a few days. Go to start it, everything seems normal. Start driving, push the accelerator pedal a little and HUFF, it dies. Any exertion of the accelerator beyond a tiny bit starts this loping even while my foot is completely steady on the pedal...

I broke the peg/tooth that's mounted to the top of the center console that keeps it latched and closed. Does anyone happen to have one out of a junk car they have no use for?

Anyone think that other rumored in-testing RWD platform is being geared up to resurrect the Mark series?

When you close the driver side door it's not flush with the quarter panel behind it and sticks out a bit. There's also a some wind noise when moving at high speeds and depending on the wind direction. Is there a specific method, and is it possible to adjusting the striker to make the door close...

To make sure I'm not missing some obvious trick, you have to disassemble most of the front end to do this, correct? Removal of the lower control arm completely looks like the easiest way.

The side the cable that goes into the actual interior handle frayed off and detached from the pivoting mechanism so there's no tension at all on the handle and it obviously doesn't open the door any longer. Has anyone ever fixed this? The whole handle looks to be permanently assembled so I don't...

What does it mean when your cooling fan won't come on unless you unplug the coolant temp sensor? Bad coolant temp sensor? Normally I know it's supposed to kick on if A/C is engaged or the coolant hits a certain temp. Right now it just won't ever come on. Unplug the coolant temp sensor and it...

Ever experience this? The Fuel Economy key stopped working today. Doesn't beep when you press it. Every other key still functions. Any fixes or is it off to the for sale section for a new unit?

I've read, perhaps wrongly, that the best way to support this engine from the front is by the alternator mounting holes. Is this correct? If so, do you just go ahead and chain up to the stock alternator bolts that thread in there? Are they really strong enough to do that?

I've got a pretty good oil leak going, definitely more than a few drips. Over the course of a week or so I'll have a small puddle from its resting spot after daily driving. But here's the twist, it's definitely not the common-failure oil filter adapter gasket because this leak is coming from...

What can I do about this? Below about 15 degrees the interior door handle gets so gummy that when you pull it, it doesn't snap back and you can't close the door until you repeatedly lock and unlock the door until it gets to the 'right' position. When it's not stupidly cold outside this doesn't...

So I'm encountering this problem with these new Moog outer tie rod ends. I've ordered from both Amazon and Rockauto using the selector for a 1994 Mark VIII and both times these two companies set me a tie rod that looks like it would fit/look exactly the same as the one on the car but the ball...

But they aren't. Happens a lot. Which wire is it so this will stop annoying me?

First thing in the morning after the car has completely cooled down it will take a while to start and feel very sluggish, sometimes even stalling out once. However, every time without fail if I start the car, turn it off, and then restart it, all these problems go away until the car sits for...

Went to change my spark plugs. 6 of them came out fine, two of the boots pulled out but left the rubber cap snug around the spark plug down there, meaning I can't get a socket around it to take it out. If anyone else has faced this before, what do I do? Really really long, really thin needle...

I need the mechanism that sits inside the door that locks into place for the drivers side. It's secured with security bits, T-47 or T-51 I think, I have it written down. Now I haven't exactly figured out how to remove the one that's in there but somehow it needs to come out. Looks like the key...

Anyone use or know of a remanufacturing service that will do a good job with our ABS components like the hydraulic unit?

I'm not being very successful with getting the nut in the truck loose without the entire thing spinning and negating my efforts. There was also this weird sensor thing attached to the top; I read Ford had these only in the '93 and early '94s before giving up on the idea, if I'm talking about the...

Are the rear hub assemblies fully replaceable like the front? No one seems to carry anything but front hub assemblies. Got a shot bearing in the drivers side rear and was hoping I could just buy a whole assembly so I could pop the thing off and on myself. Does taking off the rear wheel hub...

Got an interesting problem here. If the door lock changes position while the door is closed, the interior door handle will open the door only once, and then the door will not latch nor will the handle operate the mechanism UNTIL you lock and unlock the door, which can take several times pressing...
