So I changed my IAC and TPS Monday because my idle wasn't going down when I stopped. So now I have the new new IAC and TPS in and have a new idle problem. When stopped at a light my idle is very rough, and also very low (500rpms). If I shift it to park or neutral it goes to 600-700 like it...

I went to replace my IAC today. I removed the wiper cowl and hood struts to make more room. I then continued to remove the throttle body. I got up on top of the engine to get a better angle. After a few minutes I lost my balance. Now I still the old IAC in there... and a broken...

These are listed to fit a similar year thunderbird. I don't recall if the tie rods are the same from the t-bird as the mark. Any input would be appreciated. http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/proddetail.asp?prod=9.13101

The sensor on the side of the oil pan, just above the plug; what sensor is this? Mine is leaking and I wanna know if I can just replace an o-ring or the whole sensor needs to be changed.

Hey guys, started taking my LCA's out yesterday and ran into some trouble. I'm waiting for a break in the rain to continue but I would enjoy some advice in the mean time. I already disconnected all of the nuts from the LCA and also removed the ball join from the spindle. I was unable to get...

Hey I'm taking off my passenger side UCA and I'm stuck. I can't get the bolt out of the spindle to release the ball joint. I hammered in a cold chisel and it won't budge. I put some heat on it and all it really did was melt what was left of the boot. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hey guys, This is gonna be a long one but input would be appreciated. Friday 1/29 I was involved in a collision around 12 noon. I was turning left from a side street onto major road. I was sitting at a stop sign waiting for a clear spot in the traffic. To my left was a hill maybe 5 car...

I took apart my thermostat housing again today (did once yesterday). Put it back together with another new o-ring. It is dripping about 1 drip every 10 seconds. I torqued it on to 7 ft-lbs. Is there anything I'm missing? If I put rtv all around the seal could that stop the drip? I'm open...

Does anyone know what the correct way is to put in a thermostat o-ring in a Lincoln Mark VIII?

Hey guys, I'm planning to put the Mark in for some work in the next week or two. I want to get all the parts replaces that are going or will go soon. I'm putting together a list and would like you guys to let me know if I should add or change anything. I have about 147,000 on the car right...

Hey guys, Every now and then when I am driving my car I get this strange issue. All the electric in my dashboard will suddenly cut-out.... gauges, head unit, hvac... etc... It will flicker on and off every couple of second, causing the head unit to reload (gps). After it does this several...

I changed my front pads and rotors yesterday. When I took the pads off of the driver side they were down to the metal. On the passenger side they had a little over half an inch left. What causes the uneven wear and is it common? Thanks

Hey I'm changing my front brake pads and rotors right now. I have the wheels off and I unbolted the caliper. The caliper is clamped onto the rotors and I can't pull it off. It's like someone is holding the brake pedal down. The calipers are from a 2004 mustang. How can I get the caliper to...

Hey I just had one of my tires lose all of its air while I was driving. After leaving it in the driveway overnight, another tire went flat to the ground. One other tire was low and the last was fine. Over the last few weeks I've found myself needing to add air once a week or so. I took the...

So finally last month I got the replacement grill and corner lights on the car. Just this afternoon I am leaving Friendly's with the g/f. I go to back out of the spot I'm in and I hear a loud sound. Apparently the car was lower when I pulled out than when I pulled in, because when I went out...

Need a handle for the passenger side of my 96 Mark. None of the yards around here will let me have it without the door. If anyone has or can get one let me know.

Like the title says. Anyone have one? Mine just doesn't look the same since some delinquent took a bat to it....

The tranny pan on my mark started leaking recently. I'm taking this as a perfect opportunity to j-mod. My question is, when I bought the car the previous owner told me it was taken in for transmission service as per a recall. What do they change in this recall? I'm assuming it may have the...

Although I might leave it on top of my sister's Xterra, the whole rocket ship look kinda works for it. Hopefully I can get it hooked on the mark soon, got it from Seanklsc yesterday. Those are the lms mufflers and there is an x pipe farther down the piping. I'll take a pic of the whole...

Just bought an exhaust off of him and would definitely do business again. Great to work with.
