Hearing a leak in the rear air suspension of a 93 MarkVIII Could a bad air compressor do this or could it be a leaky airbag or a faulty solenoid also Can they be manually filled to hold air?

You don't mention the mileage but if you're in the 80,000 range, more than likely it's the bag and they can't be manually filled. If left like that the compressor will probably be the next to die because it will be always trying to fill the bags and they are in the price range of $160.00 plus the labor. Could possibly be a solenoid but first put some soapy water all over the bags and see if you have a bubble thing going on then you will know.

If the air ride suspension doesn't work compressor does what could be the problem?
Bad solenoid, leaking bags
How do you pump up the air suspension manually on a 93 mark viii when the compressor does not?
You can use a shop air compressor to do this. It requires some jury rigging, but I did this. You must power the solenoid valve that controls the spring, which means making a connector (a pain) or getting one from the junk yard. Then insert the pastic tubing into a suitably sized rubber hose and attach it to a hand valve and your compressor hose. Power the solenoid and open the air valve. I found 80 PSI will raise the car.
How do you replace the check valve for the air suspension on a mark 8?
The Mark 8 does not have a check-valve in the air suspension system. Each air spring has a solenoid valve, which controls fill and vent of the spring. There is a fifth in the suspension compressor itself, which controls venting the system. I discovered that the seat for vent valve was corroded in my compressor, which would then leak when the system was trying to fill. This resulted in the compressor running, but the car lowering. I was able to clean the seat up for a temporary repair, but ultimately replaced the compressor.
1995 lumina put new starter and solenoid when turning key trying to crank no clicking can be heard from solenoid switch you can short solenoid manually and it will crank it has no set pattern what is?
Did you put the small solenoid wire on the correct small terminal?
Where is the fuse for the idle stop solenoid on 1974 corvette I don't have power to this wire to the solenoid?
I believe that kicks on when the AC is turned on to raise the idle to compensate for the AC compressor load.
Where is the dump valve for air suspension located on a 1995 Lincoln mark viii?
No such thing. Air goes in and out to the bags thru the same tube, exits at the compressor. Each bag has its own solenoid valve so the system tubing is unpressurized when the compressor is off. If you want to drop the entire car, you'll need a diagnostic scanner with the suspension functions. If you need to deflate an individual bag, disconnect the electrical connector to its solenoid valve, disconnect the air tubing by pulling on the round collar where it enters the valve, remove the silver retaining clip, twist a quarter of a turn to first stop and pull down. Valve can then be removed by twisting another quarter of a turn and pulling out.
Is there two relays for air suspension on a 1998 ford Expedition.?
There is one solenoid for each air boot. they are located at the top of the air boot, an electrical connector goes to each solenoid.
Where is the Canister Vent Solenoid located in a 2001 Chevy Cavalier?
On the 2.4 z24 it is on the AC compressor mounting bolt.
Why will a 91 Lincoln Town Car start with a screwdriver touching the solenoid but not with the key manually?
Not to bash on the last answer, but, the starter solenoid probably isn't at fault here. If it will start with the screwdriver then the starter solenoid is functioning. It either does or it doesnt. The answer lies in circuitry back from the solenoid to the ignition switch. You could have a bad ignition switch or neutral/safety switch.AnswerDefective starter solenoid.
How do you open V40 fuel cap cover manually?
Remove inner boot trim,locate solenoid pin,and pull back.
Is there a manual air release valve for the air suspension on a 2000 Lincoln navigator?
The only way to manually deflate that system. Leave the car running. Raise the end that you want to lower to where the vehicle is just above level. This will make the height sensor tell the control module that the end of the vehicle you raised is too high. The control module will open the solenoids in the struts, and open the solenoid at the compressor. Once the air is successfully purged. About 2 minutes. You can then shut the vehicle off. Turn the air ride switch off. Lower the vehicle.
Why does my 4.7 Magnum wont start or idle without giving the throttle manually?
vacuum leak, check hoses, purge solenoid valve, evap.
