You should have a small module on the firewall, little silver coloured box with wires plugged in to it. When this box heats up it will shut the engine off, then it will restart moments later. That's of course if the problem is electronic. Need a little more information. If its not electronic, then check for fuel problems. Start with the pump, its in the tank.
A belt diagram for a 1985 Mercury Topaz can be found in the maintenance manual of the car. Sometimes, there is a sticker on the car with the diagram, and an auto shop might print a copy of the diagram for the person.
open the drivers door the answer is there on a sticker. every car has this.
More or less, YES
Idle could possibly be too low.
Look under the front of the car. Its on the bottom of the engine.
My 1992 Mercury Topaz right rear line has broken and I see the leak coming out a metal casing. How do I get to line by inside the car because I do not see any lines like in other cars which are located out side the car plase help.
BIG JOB Get a manual on your car from the parts store and it wil have pictures .
Only the 2.3L HSC Inline 4 will fit in the 1986 Mercury Topaz. If everything in the engine bay were gutted, perhaps something larger such as a 3.0L V6 from a 1992-1994 model MIGHT fit but it would require a complete running 92-94 Ford Tempo or Mercury Topaz with the V6 engine as a donor car (and, if you could find such a car, it would be more worth your time/money to invest in it v.s. a 1986 model). The automatic transmission from a Taurus WILL NOT WORK in a Tempo/Topaz.
Just look under the front of the car, just behind the rad. And there it is, if it is a 4cyl of course?
If you are paying $ 300 for the car, then you just might have to put a thousand or more in for repairs. Check it out.
Not quite sure what you are asking, but if you are changing the solenoid, then disconnect the battery first.
