I had a similar problem. My 95 cougar would stutter when I would put it into gear, especially when I was going up a hill, and it would take me a while to work up some speed. What I did to solve the problem is, instead of buying a new mass air flow sensor, I cleaned the one I had with electrics part cleaner that I bought for $4 at a local auto store. My cougar works perfectly now. I also bought a new air filter. Check out this site if you want to clean your MAF. It helped me: http://www.berrysweb.com/clean_your_maf.htm
Our 2000 mercury cougar does not start up and stay running. We were told the catalytic converters went out on the engine. Could this be true!
in the exhaust pipes just before the catalytic converters
Two precats - one for each bank, then the larger main cat.
A little more information please ( model year , engine size ) ( my friends 1967 Mercury Cougar GT with the 390 cubic inch V8 does not have any catalytic converters ) The animal wouldn't have any either.
There are three catalytic converters on a V6 Mercury cougar. You have two pre-cats, one on each exhaust manifold, and a main Cat just after the Y pipe. Note, if you are removing or gutting the pre-cats, use MIL eliminators to stop the car from throwing a code.
Call your local scrap yard for the current price.
Mercury Cougar was created in 1967.
Apparently it has three. Two Pre-Catalytic converters right after the engine block, and a third after the y-junction and flex pipe. This is so the car meets the European emissions standards.
No.
