Is the compressor for a Lincoln Town Car air suspension supposed to pump out a lot of air or just a little I can barely fill the air when the compressor is running. I think the compressor is bad.?

The piston on that compressorcylinder has a bore of 0.9835" and a stroke of 1.646". As you can tell by those dimensions it is not going to push a lot of air on each stroke. It will build a lot of pressure. Your vehicle has about 90 psi when operating under normal load conditions. The main cause for a compressor failure is because the bags dry rot and start to leak. When you see the vehicle lower in the morning than the night before. That is your first indicator that there is a leak. Remember just because the pump comes on does not mean that it can generate 160 psi at 12 volts 5 amps.
If you are trying to diagnose your problem with the air system, look all over it!! There are so many things that could go wrong with it. I do say that what my car went down I called Strutmasters.com and talked with a very nice guy who helped me out and got me the correct kit for my car. It was only a few days and the UPS delivered it. I was very glad that I chose the non air conversion kit. I love it! I saved a bunch of money and time with the conversion kit.

Why 1999 Lincoln Town Car air suspension compressor keeps running?
Likely your system has a leak and the compressor can't keep up with the volume of the leak. <><><> Agree. The air bags in the suspension of ours had developed small holes, and the compressor could not keep up. Get that fixed before the compressor burns out.

Sounds like you might be running into the same problem I had with my 93 town car suspension. You might want to save some time and money and do what I did...check out the air suspension conversion kits at Strutmasters.com Those guys really helped me out. http://www.strutmasters.com/lincoln-town-car-suspension-s/37.htm Justin
Why does your air ride compressor stay running on your 1998 Lincoln Navigator it is new?
The compressor will stay running only because there is a leak in the air system somewhere and the compressor is trying to play catch up.It will burn out if left to run continuously ...

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.
How do you determine if the suspension compressor is bad on a 1998 ford expedition fuses and switch are ok?
GM of Ford, makes no difference , see if the compressor is running when you turn the key on , can you hear it run ? If it is running , there may be a leak in a hose , not letting the suspension raise , or a leaking seal on the actual shock. Rear suspension compressors do tend to fail on older cars , some are under the rear of the car , some are under the hood , usually on top of the inner fender .
Your fuse for your air suspension blows on your 1992 Lincoln town car?
Check the air compressor for short There are only a few wire's running to your air compressor and if none of those are causing the problem you are going to have to try and get under the rear of the car where the two wiring harness's are at each air bag and start from there working towards the front to try and find a loose wire or a bad spot. other than that your bags may have leaked causing your compressor to work over time and just blown the fuse and also wore out the compressor.

The rear of my 85 Seville is almost on the ground. How can i tell if its the shocks or the air suspension?
its the air suspension, check the compressor, make sure it is running (no fuse blown). Check your suspension limit switch, make sure its getting power. If all fail,, then your air bags may be leaking and need to be replaced........................................
