Might be you alternator. Happened on my 1997 grand marq a couple of weeks ago
Because whoever told you that a low battery would cause hard steering is an idiot.
No, a car battery does not have mercury in it. It would be very dangerous to have mercury in a car battery.
Dead battery? Battery cables in need of cleaning or replacement?
Needs a new battery.
how to changing engine coolant on a 1993 mercury grand marquis gs.
what is the part called where the water pump is connected to on a 1996 mercury grand marquis -------------------------- That would be the engine
I would first have the battery checked. It sounds like a weak battery. It could also be the computer. In fact, there are a number of possibilities but the first thing I would check would be the battery.
That would depend entirely on how out of tune it is before.
Make sure the air filter is clean. Fuel can't burn without air. Also try replacing the spark plugs.
That's something you would have to look at yourself, we can't give you an answer unless you tell us in more... er.. detail.
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
I was looking at a ( 1998 ) Mercury Grand Marquis Owner Guide and it shows the body as being ( 78.2 inches wide ) I'm not sure how much the outside mirrors would add to that
