Listing all the possibilities would be close to impossible.
Check your gas cap to see if it's nice and tight.
Otherwise hook up an OBD II code reader.
It's ~$80-100 CAN for the dealer to hook it up and tell you what's wrong.
It's ~$150-200 CAN to buy a code reader.
If you feel confident that you can properly interpret the codes, a code reader will pay for itself after 2 issues with any car you own.
The reader can only tell you what the car is sensing, not exactly what's wrong with it. For example: a cylinder misfire code could mean anything from a bad plug to a vacuum leak. Sometimes multiple codes occurring at the same time can help narrow down the possibilities.
Have the code read, that will tell you.
Disconnect battery for 15 - 20 mintues
To change the check engine light bulb on a 1996 Crown Victoria you need to remove the molding from around the instrument panel. Next, remove the headlight knob and shafts. Locate the light bulb and turn counterclockwise to remove. Reverse directions to replace with a new bulb.
When the check engine light is flashing , it means that an ignition misfire has been detected
The only way of knowing that is to use a code reader and look up the code that you get.
Not positive which one but it sounds like a computer or sensor problem
On our crown Victoria we had an intermittent check engine light with the error codes "bank 1 and 2 too lean". I tried replacing the fuel filter with no luck. A short while later I had a intake manifold crack and had to get it replaced. My mechanic cleaned the MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR and this seemed to fix the check engine light.
A wrench light on any car means the engine needs attention.
Check fuse for brake switch, check switch, or light control module,
Check at the battery with a volt meter, Should have over 14 volts when engine is running. If not, possibly have to replace the alt. or check all the wires.
Yes, they are identical
Check the bulbs, the fuse then the brake light switch.
