Several things need to be checked if a 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis is hesitating when accelerating. Does the hesitation only last a few seconds until the car is slightly warm? Do you hear a poping noice from the engine compartment? Is the check engine light on ? I have had similar problems and this type of problem is typically caused by air or fuel problems. 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis are fuel injected and any vaccume leaks can cause these type of problems. I would check all hoses to make sure they are secure. I would check the PVC valvs, I will check to make sure none of the hoses are blocked, I would check the idle air control valve and its passage, I would check the EGR valve and its passage, I would check the throttle body and bypass valve as all of these items can be gunked with carbon deposits. This should be a good beginning point but the answers to my questions will really help to narrow down the issue.
Sounds like it could be a dirty fuel filter, try taking it off and cleaning it.
"What causes cars to hesitate?
system glitch or a short
Have you checked the coil's ?
There are unbalanced forces on Mercury due to its orbit around the Sun, leading to variations in its speed and direction. These forces cause Mercury to experience gravitational interactions that affect its trajectory.
Accelerate, motion is generated by applying force to mass.
Have you had your spark plugs or wires changed? The hesitiation when you step on the gas could be related to a firing issue. If you accelerate on the gas to go right away does it seem rough?
Probably a bad front wheel bearing/hub assembly with the abs sensor in it
Isc motor is stuck or sticking causing a "blowing over bottle" effect in the intake tract.
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.
You got a short somewhere. Might be in the wiring, might be in the element itself. Either that, or you're overloading it.
It's a safety feature that comes with the car. There's a way to turn it off, but you'd need the owners manual to do it.
