Includes vacuum/electrical manual. And the big main repair manual of course. I no longer have a '96 and don't plan on buying another. You can have it. Just don't take it to resell. That's being an ass. You need to have a '96. It's beat up. The cover is missing. It's all there though. Let me...

I'm missing one chrome center cap for ten spoke directional rim. '98 LSC CE. Anybody got one or know where I can get one?

Yep, that's what I need! F7LF-14B239-AB is the part # I think. I haven't pulled it yet to confirm.

Hello all, I burned a valve or something like that to cause a cylinder to go dead on my '96. So I gave it to a friend. It now sits in his shed waiting for him to find and install an engine. Personally I don't think it's worth the trouble with well over 200,000 on the clock. But now I bought...

Hello! It's been awhile since I have posted here. My '96 still lives...maybe. The other day I pretty much put it to the floor to get around traffic and immediately a misfire developed. I didn't really notice it running that bad on the highway but the CEL was flashing. I was only a few miles...

I just drove in to SA with distance to empty showing 22 miles. I proceeded to put 19.5 gallons in the tank! I maybe squeezed the last 50 cents in after auto shutoff to make it an even $50. I drove 413 miles on the previous tank of gas. Does that seem possible? It was over 19 gallons when the...

My gear shifter is very sticky coming out of park, especially if the car has sat for some time. The push button resists gong in. After quite a bit of wiggling it will come out of park. After that it will shift freely, even if returned to park. It's not a brake issue. At least I don't think so...

Hey guys, its been awhile. I have had an ongoing slow power steering leak. I thought it was from the rack itself and the car mostly sat in the garage all winter. Today I examined it more closely and decided it was leaking from the short line to the rack. I wiggled it and fluid came pouring...

Hello, I have a '96 Mark VIII, 204,000 miles. I'm getting occasional misfires. The CEL flashes. It usually lasts about two minutes at most, occasionally will come back several minutes later, and often clears up for several days at a time. It appears to be worse on hot days with the A/C on...

The cooling fan on my '96 is making terrible noise. What are my options for finding one of these? Will a fan from any year Mark VIII work? Is there anything aftermarket worth buying that won't set me back a fortune?

Yes, I posted in the for sale/trade section but I know some just come to this forum. You can read my post there. Thanks for any help.

My '96 is occasionally starting hard and it is clear that it is not getting any fuel. Turning the key on and off a few times doesn't help. I can clearly hear the pump solenoid working. Tonight it wouldn't start at all for about six tries. Then all of the sudden it starts like nothing was...

Here's the symptoms: 1) Hard to start. Requires putting the pedal to the floor. 2) After starting engine revs up to around 2000 as if to clear extra fuel. May drop down and die. May drop down then climb a little above 1000 the settle back to about 800. 3) Will die when I put it in...

It's been awhile! I haven't posted in quite awhile. So I think my steering rack might being going on on my '96. I suppose it could be the pump. It's not leaking but the steering is getting harder and I hear some groaning the colder it gets. So I have a few questions: 1) Is it likely...

It's getting harder and harder to shift out of Park particularly when parked on an incline. It's very hard to push the button in on the shift knob, but once it goes in and I shift out of park it feels fine. I can put it back into park and back out again with almost no problem. I say "almost"...

Someone is coming too look at the DA with the blown head gasket and will be here in an hour or so. What do you think will happen? He's driving 45+ miles to see it and bringing his son.

Someone came and test drove the Toreador '96 just a little while ago. He seemed to really like it. He has a town car he is going to look at and then will let me know on Monday. I'm asking $2000. I think if I can get that or even close to that it would be in my best interest to let it go...

I've decided to get rid of the '96 Diamond Anniversary. I have a garage I could put it in, so parting it out is sort of an option. I think it just needs to be able to roll. Unless it's going to make me some good money though, I'd just as soon get rid of it ASAP. Here's some details: 1)...

My Toreador '96 feels like it shifts late when going uphill at around 35mph. I can feel the weight of the car in the pedal. Once it downshifts it's fine and the car has plenty of power. It had a broken EGR tube and rather than replace it, I blocked it. I have never had the EGR tuned out, so...

Upper and lower control arms, inner and outer tie rods. SRBs look good, sway bar links are fairly new and look good. So far I have the upper control arm off the driver's side. I had to take a break to take the kids school shopping. I had to order lower control arms and I am waiting for...
