Remove the gas cap. If you do not hear the pressure release, then press the shrader valve located on the fuel rail.

Where is the fuel filter on an 1986 cougar?

fuel filter is on the right frame rail near the fuel tank.if vehicle is fuel injected you should relieve the fuel system pressure before removing filter.this can be done by unpluging the enertia switch in trunk then run engine till it stops.also loosen gas tank cap this will relieve some pressure as well.once filter is changed reconnect enertia switch and push reset button.start car check for leaks.you might want to wear some eye protection for this job theres always some pressure left in lines not to mention the dirt that may have accumulated on rail and filter.regards lee

How do you remove the fuel lines from the gas tank on a 1999 mercury cougar?

Ford uses special spring-loaded disconnects on the fuel lines from the tank to the engine, because the fuel pump is in the tank, and the lines are pressurized to a fair amount of pressure. There are special disconnect tools available from any auto parts store, but before you go yanking those lines loose, you need to relieve any trapped pressure from the lines. If you don't already know how to properly and safely do this, I strongly recommend you take the car to a professional.


Why does your oil pressure gauge read low when there is nothing wrong on your 95 cougar with 46?

I have a 1994 Mercury Cougar that runs good but burns alot of fuel and after the engine starts the and gets some heat, oil pressure gauge indicates low when there is nothing wrong. I have the same problem with a 1991 Mercury Cougar 3.8, doesn't burn fuel that much but a mechanician told me that it might be a miscontact on the gauge indicator, some dirt in oil pan blocking oil pump or the oil pump is going off. First thing to do is changing oil and filter replacing it by syntec oil in it so it will stay in engine more time when heating. If after that nothing changed check oil pressure at a local garage.
