The 1990 grand marquis 5.0 has what they call an "AIC" motor. It's located on front left side of throttlebody. It has a PINCLE valve inside that gets dirty. Take it apart and clean with throttle body cleaner and disconnect the battery, wait 10 min, connect battery, start it up and let it idle for 5mins , then take it out for a brisk ride to let the CPU relearn.

This is not something that can be done by an amature. You need a timing light and tools. Take it to a mechanic to get it done right.

Why would a 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis start but then stall right away?

Likely the fuel filter is clogged so you need to change it. If you can keep the engine running by pumping throttle a few times at start up, and then it runs, check the filter; cost about $10.00. On My 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis I had to replace the Idle air control valve because it did stay running until it was warm


How do you replace the idle air motor on a 1997 mercury grand marquis and is it something an amateur can do?

Idle air controllers are held on by two screws on one side of the EGR block. Remove the two screws, discard and replace the gasket and reattach. Should take about 10 minutes.


Why would a 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis have high idle?

Try adjusting the idle using the idle screw on the butterfly valve of the air intake. It might be that the idle is just set too high. If that doesn't work, try adjusting the timing. If that still doesn't work, try replacing the Throttle Position Sensor, located right above the throttle body.
