    Shakey Steering

    OK the Mechanic says I need a 'steering column flex coupler' but there is no listing for this part specific to any Mark VIII let alone a '94. The mechanic could not find a listing so I went to a couple differnt places, NAPPA & Lordco and they could only find listings for just plain Lincoln or...

    Air Ride Switch

    OK, After reading through all those search threads I have come to the conclusion that I must have a vent solenoid problem. "Check Air Ride" comes on when I get above 100kph/60mph. I can stop, turn off the car, then start it again, run system check and it comes up "Air Ride OK" it only comes on...

    The Value of a Classic

    This is from an article printed in today's Vancouver Sun Driving Section (Pacific Northwest). It may not be a Mark VIII but the 1970, 71 or 72 Plymouth Barracuda has turned into one high priced car. Twenty years ago it may have only generated 20-25K but today they command well over 100K.There...

    New rebuild & still broke

    Well, I was told it's time to replace the transmission, the bands were slipping and it kept down shifting between 80-100 kph for no reason. So I get this new rebuilt transmission, supposedly includes shift kit & j-mod although the mechanic told me he did pretty much the equivilent of a j-mod on...

    Phantom Shifter or Gremlins?

    Lately while driving, my '94 M8 changes gears without me doing the shifting. Now I realize this is what automatics do, but should they shift down while cruising 50-60 MPH along the highways, or just meandering along the streets at 30-40MPH. In the past it would shift up to 4th in the first...

    How Many Gears

    This is going to sound dumb to some but here goes anyway. I understand that the Mark VIII is a four speed but my stick shift console reads D,2,1 and that counts for three, of course there is that little button for overdrive but really, does that count? My TrailBlazer has D,3,2,1 and that to me...

    It's foreign jargon to me

    Ok so I am a newbie and don't know, have a good laugh, but I don't even know what LSC stands for let alone MAF, EMC, SCT and others. I figured out LMS for Lincoln motor sports and RWHP fr real world horsepower so some of it is decipherable but unless one is a grease monkey it's a tough call...

    How clean is your engine?

    Well my engine is embarrassingly filthy, and after seeing how clean some of the other engnes are kept I am ashamed of it. So what's the best method for cleaning, can I have it blasted with one of those hot steam pressure washers, or will that dammage something electrical? Any ideas? Thanks in...

    Air intake Silencer

    I'm not really a mechanic of any kind but if the task is simple enough I'll take a shot at it. The task is removing the silencer in a '94. I hear it makes the car sound much better and that many owners do it with relative ease. Can anyone describe how this is done, if it is not to involved I'll...

    Seats

    I keep hearing about heated seats!! So how do I turn on the heat, it was below freezing this morning and I had to use my butt to heat them. I also noticed that the lumbar inflater works on the passenger side but only makes a noise without inflation on the drivers side, is this repairable? 1994...

    Front Grille & body strips

    I just bought this gem a week ago and noticed a few blemishes. The front grille has a couple bubbles formed, likely from moisture under the chrome, also the plastic side body strips have lost some of their chrome. There are also a couple small chips in the paint on the plastic bumbers and a...
