change fuel pump on 1989 topaz. You have two options. Hopefully your tank is on empty or close to empty, with car on jacks, take off the filler hose, support the tank, undo the bolts holding the tank straps, lower the tank, and reach over and unlock the ring holding the pump and gauge. If you have trouble, unplug the wire harness, take off small hoses, then remove the whole tank. Have to turn it a little to clear the exhaust. Now you can see what you are doing. Screwdriver and hammer, unlock the ring, blow the debris away before you take out unit. Replace. Or......remove the back bench seat, cut a hole in the floor where the tank is,(measure from underneath,) large enough for you to work on, and there you go. No trouble this way. Just unlock the ring, clean area, remove old pump and gauge, replace, make sure pick-up filter stays on. Replace o ring seal, put a little lube on the o ring, lock ring, and with a piece of sheet metal, cut to the hole and just pop rivet or small screws and some sealer, and that's it. Don't have to disturb the clamps and lines this way.

Is a 92 Mercury Topaz and a 1991 ford tempo the same car?

Yes, the 1992 Mercury Topaz and the 1991 Ford Tempo are essentially the same car. Both models were part of the same platform developed by Ford and shared many of the same components and characteristics.


What engines will fit in a 1986 mercury topaz?

Only the 2.3L HSC Inline 4 will fit in the 1986 Mercury Topaz. If everything in the engine bay were gutted, perhaps something larger such as a 3.0L V6 from a 1992-1994 model MIGHT fit but it would require a complete running 92-94 Ford Tempo or Mercury Topaz with the V6 engine as a donor car (and, if you could find such a car, it would be more worth your time/money to invest in it v.s. a 1986 model). The automatic transmission from a Taurus WILL NOT WORK in a Tempo/Topaz.


Ignition module on a 1984 Mercury Topaz?

Really going back in time. If it is the same as the '87, the module is on the firewall. Small box with a wire plug in. Sort of silver in color. Most times when this module is defective, the engine will cut out, and after a few minutes will restart. Ford should still have the part in stock. Just make sure the points are gapped properly and the rotor is in good shape.


How do you wire a solenoid switch on a Mercury Ford Topaz?

The wiring of the solenoid will depend on what purpose the solenoid serves and the brand. In basic terms, when power is turned onto the solenoid, the inner coil pulls the plunger. The unit needs power and a ground, with a switch or relay to trigger it.


Are Mercury autos still being made?

No, the last Mercury vehicle was produced in January 2011. Ford, the parent company of Mercury, decided to discontinue the brand due to a decline in sales and a shift in consumer preferences towards SUVs and crossovers.
