Mercury

They told me 250 lb. when I shipped mine. I can tell you it is heavy!

For a 2 stroke model, a 500 to 650 cca, 12 volt starting battery will be sufficient. The recommended battery for a four stroke model is 1000 cca,

The fuse block should be located to the left of the steering column, under the dash. Depending on which Mercury GS you have (sable, topaz, etc.) it should be a relay located in the fuse block.

on the transmission between the firewall and motor on top of transmission a few inches from where the half shaft goes into the transmission. if it goes bad it could cause bad shifting of trans, i replaced mine and it was a pain to get out but my transmission problems went away instantly

Most vehicles come with the code on a sticker on one of the Trunk Life Rods. Some owners remove this tag, some don't. Some put it inside the glove box and some write it in the Owner's Manual. If it's not in any of these places, you're only choice is to go to a dealer and have them request the master code for you.

According to the 1997 Mercury Mountaineer owners manual :

Your 4R70W automatic transmission capacity is ( 13.9 quarts )

* that of couse would be for the transmission , torque converter , lines , transmission cooler , etcetera *

The check engine light comes on and stays on when a problem is detected by the self diagnosis system of your vehicle.

Generally, a check engine light is lit when there is a problem in the emissions or somthing that is affecting the effectiveness of the emissions.

If the check engine light is flashing a misfire has been detected

easy just take a flat head and pop that sucker off. might be tough at first but you wont break it. the plug for the moon roof is located there as well.

Its located on the passenger side fire wall behind the shock tower next too your diagnostic plugs

yeah the problem is that your RPM gauge doesn't work. This can be causes by a blown sensor either on your motor, or in the relay to your gauge cluster. Take your car to a dealership to be sure. For about $50, they will read the compute error code your car is producing and quote you on the repair and tell you how deep the problem is. I you don't trust them, many other mechanics have code scanners.

The Mercury EFI outboards require a minimum octane rating of 87. Since the engine will operate on the lower octane fuel, it is a matter of personal preference.

There was no EGR Valve befor 1994 on Ford Explorers.

On the 1995 and later models 5.0l V8 models are equipped with pressure feedback exhaust gas recirculation (PFE) system. It is in the front of the engine to the left of the oil feel tube.

guess again.

left hand follow tube up from exhaust manifold.

well, i was able to figure it out... i hope this helps someone else out!

on the front headrests, if you are facing them from the back seat, the right post is the side with the locking pin that has to be removed. I was able to use a small screwdriver to remove the plastic insert cover and then with an awl or a small, long screwdriver I was then able to press the clip in order for the headrest to be removed completely.
If I have time or if someone would like more information, I think I will be taking photos of the steps. Thanks!

The 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine in a 1996 Mercury Mystique IS NOT an interference

The low beam portion has likely burned out

I found one of the more comprehensive one stop shopping places for Merkur specific parts is online at a website called www.MERKURMIDWEST.com They have a nice selection of good used, new and restored items all in one location. They had my parts in stock, which was great cause there wasnt a long wait to actually get the items I ordered, which I have experienced with some other vendors. Great prices and quick shipping. A + in my book.

Our 2000 mercury cougar does not start up and stay running. We were told the catalytic converters went out on the engine. Could this be true!

If it is a small leak, stopgap products like StopLeak can be used, but the radiator will eventually need to be replaced

Most people report you need 6 quarts to fill these engines, that's how much I put in mine. Consult your owner's manual if in doubt. Do not overfill the engine.

Yes

75 to 80 pounds
