    98 Mark Viii Help

    I just had a similar problem with bad misfiring. I also tried new plugs and coils. Turned out to be leaking intake manifold gaskets (lower) . If you can, get someone to do a smoke test. Since I had it done, the car has never run better as I think it was a minor leak when I bought it 9 years ago...

    Ignition issue

    I took the car to a new shop in town and they diagnosed and fixed the problem. The intake manifold gaskets were leaking. They had a tough time finding the gaskets though. One set came with a lower gasket that was plastic and about a 1/4 " thick ( Felpro) . Car runs better than ever now. I think...

    Ignition issue

    Thanks ... I think it's time to get it checked and diagnosed at a shop. # 6 misfiring again this morning so I popped the hood and heard a light tapping on that cylinder head. Not a happy sound to hear.

    Ignition issue

    Perhaps my F-injectors are going bad or their wiring ? If the issue was constant I could get a better idea of what the heck it might be but, I can cruise on the highway with no issues .. no codes .. runs smooth as silk. I can go a month with no problems. I'll check the plugs for # 6 and 7 to see...

    Ignition issue

    Could anyone let me know which sensors decide which plug fires in order ? I have had various issues with # 7 misfire .. recently # 6 too. It is not constant for # 7 ..only when under load and some days just fine .. # 6 started to misfire the other day and suddenly stopped today. The only codes...

    Small radiator coolant leak

    I had the same thing in my 96. I just replaced the radiator. make sure you save the fitting that the trans. fluid lines run into and reinstall on the new radiator. Since I had the radiator out, I replaced the water pump as well since I had the extra room. The engine has run a lot cooler since I...

    where to get cooling fan motor

    I got one for my 96 at Rock Auto last year. I'd suggest getting a new connector too. They are attached to the fan housing with steel rivets that you'll have to drill out and replaced with bolts and lock washers. ( or at least my 96 was).

    Brake pedal making a mist of brake fluid from front left

    I had the same problem here in Mass. That brine solution is a killer on cars. My 96 MK VIII had the same problem. I had to have all my brake lines replaced .. then my tranny cooling line about 2 months later. When I bought it about 6 years ago, no rust whatsoever.

    It's always something ...

    Found it finally .. At Advance of all places. The descriptions I got from Ford and the confusing diagrams got me off base. The Ford Parts site said it went from the condenser to the Compressor and that was just wrong. Thanks to all who offered help. PeterK. ps: a 50 dollar part that the shop...

    Close, but it said that it won't fit in a 96. Thanks though !

    It's always something ...

    Thanks ! The little dryer attached to the condenser discharge line ( #3) near the compressor is what is leaking. I've checked pretty much everywhere but that part just doesn't exist and the lines are part of the dryer I'll check with some AC mechanics to see if there is a ay to attach a new...

    It's always something ...

    I found a used one on eBay and it's the secondary drier ... the used one looks as bad as mine so I'l pass on that. Is there a bypass workaround or other way to repair this ? These cars kinda need ac in the summer ! Or, if anyone has an old one lying around, I'll buy it from you.

    It's always something ...

    I recently had to have all my brake lines replaced .. 2 months later, the Tranny cooling lines needed replacement. They use a brine solution on the roads here in Ma. and I can't help but think that's the problem . Now, I have a AC refrigerant leak. It is leaking out of the can from the condenser...
