How do you raise the top on a 1991 Mercury Capri convertible?
Asked by Wiki User
There is a release leaver on the drivers side of car by the back seat of the car. It is just inside the door. You should have two (2) release leavers the top is to fold the front set forward and the other is to open the back lid over the top. If it is a little stiff you may need to Pull up on it while you pull the release leaver(mine is).
AnswerThere's a release lever for the rear deck lid behind the drivers seat near the door opening. The lever is locked and needs a key, or in my case no-key, the lock removed, two Phillips screws. Once the deck lid is un-locked, open the lid and hold it upright and grab the center of the rag top and lift. Note: Both doors must be opened, or the windows get in the way. Two grab catches on the front of the top must be released by pressing in on the red releases. Need more info email me at jlossie@prodigy.net.Where is fuse box in 1991 Mercury Capri?

How do you adjust clutch on a 1992 ford capri?
Asked by Wiki User
Pre 1997/9 models of Ford Vehicles were self-adjusting via the clutch-foot-pedal. The pedal engages a ratchet system called the QUADRANT & PAWL and is part of the pedal. The mechanism is very similar on older Ford models of: Escort, Fiesta, Sierra, Granada, Transit & others. Newer vehicles may have a Hydraulic Clutch from 1997/9 onwards, and these work differently from the cable & pully mechanism. Clutch-fluid can be bled to improve the ability to operate the clutch, however this is not necessarily a method of adjusting the clutch.
If your reading this article because you have a broken clutch-pedal then please read on.
If when pressing the foot-pedal it feels like cable is broken, or pedal is loose, ...This is symptomatic of failure of the QUADRANT & PAWL 'ratchet' mechanism due to wear of teeth on the ratchet.
In some cases the pedal fails to pull the clutch out far enough to change gear, and may make a 'springing noise'. This is due to slippage on some worn ratchet-teeth, but the mechanism has not reached full failure. There are 2 ways to remedy the fault.
1. Change the Quadrant & Pawl, using only genuine Ford parts. #Beware of inferior mouldings that are not up to standard e.g. too soft, and do not trust 'pattern-parts' on eBay etc.
2. SHORTEN THE CABLE.
- Disconnect SPRING ON THE FOOT-PEDAL to release ratchet mechanism.
- Clamp cable slack (engine end).
How much coolant does a ford explorer hold?
Asked by Wiki User
As above Wiki User says: The Ford Explorer coolant can hold 15.1 liters. In order to keep your car in a good condition you need to flush the cooling system.
Alexa says 4 gallons equal 15.1 liter. Make sure the antifreeze than you are buying either 50/50 antifreeze than you do not mix with water or straight antifreeze that must be mix at least 50% antifreeze to 50% water (some people say you can mix it with 60% water.
Just remember the more water you add over 50% allows the possibility of the radiator freezing at 32 degrees and it could snow at 32 degrees.

Asked by Wiki User
It is not going to hurt to ground it with a secondary ground if you suspect it is not grounded. It is not grounded thru the antenna. Just run a ground wire from the radio chassis to any ground location.

What causes a pungent rotten egg smell coming from the tailpipe of a 1977 Ford Capri II 2.8 V-6?
Asked by Wiki User
Emissions system not working properly, or a defective catalytic converter. A bad catilitic converter will cause that rotten egg smell THE Smell is from the Engine running 2 RICH - TO much fuel.U need 2 check 2 C if there are any codes like (O2 Sensor) EVEN a Vacume leak will cause a RICH condition & if the leak is bad enough the engine will idle rough. Plugged or damaged pcv valve; Damaged or faulty oxygen sensor or circuit; Clogged, damaged, defective or faulty catalytic converter. From my past experiences, owners of older cars tend to use higher octane in hopes of a better running engine. Higher octane than what the factory recommends can, also, cause a pungent rotten egg smell.
What is the best car Ford Motor produce is it Ford Capri?
Asked by Kschan
It is the MERCURY Capri, produced by the Ford Motor Co. Capris are very reliable cars, but which is best is a matter of opinion. I have always preferred the Thunderbird, but any Ford vehicle with a 302 will last forever if you keep it tuned up properly.

What was the ford capri going to be originally called?
Asked by Wiki User
Everything you need to know about Ford/Mercury Capri
Ford/Mercury Capri 1989 - 1994
Styled by italians, built by Australians with Japanese Mechanicals. The Ford/Mercury Capri came about because Ford Australia (APAO) had an interst in building & marketing an export project vehicle. The initial approv...al and funding was given in 1984, to develop a small front wheel drive, two seat convertible. All Capri's were assembled in Melbourne Australia & maarketed in Australia and the United States.
The Production Capri was based on the successful 1983 Ford of Europe, Fiesta-based Ghia designed 2 seat convertible called the Barchetta (little boat). The Capri exterior was styles by Ford's "Ghia" design studio. The engineering, the interior & folding roof were done by "Ital design" an Italian engineering/design firm. The Mechanicals (engine, transaxle, brakes, suspension & steering) were manufactured & supplied by "Mazda Motors", a Ford Asian Partner.
There were two models, the base version and the turbo charged XR2. Both has DOHC 1.6 Litre engines. The base version was rated at an even 100hp AT 5750 rRPM, and 95ft.lb of torque at 5500 RPM, while the XR2 turbo engine was rated at 132hp at 6000rpm and 136ft/lb of torque at 3000rpm. A five speed manual transmission was standard. A four speed automatic was available only on the base (non turbo) version.
The "Ford Capri" was initially offered to Australia in 1989. In late 1990 it was marketed & sold in the US as a "Mercury Capri". Ford hoped a Sporty convertible woudl encourage younger/female customers into Mercury dealerships, where the customer base was primarily older/males.
The Capri was not an immediate sales sucess. Ford targeted first year sales of 30,000 but only 21,000 were actually sold & production decreased each of the subsequent years. Despite generally favorable reports from the automotive press, the Capri suffered from initial build quality problems, vehicle recalls, poor marketing support & a negative article in the April 1991 issues of Consumer Reports. Production ceased when the Capri failed to meets its marketing goals & Ford believed that future demand for two sear convertibles in general, was on the decline.
Manufacturing congtinued until the 1994 model year, with total world wide production reaching 66,279. The final year of production 1994 Ford of Australia assembled less than 4,000 Capris & of that number only 366 were XR2's.

How do you put the top down on a 1991 Mercury Capri convertible?
Asked by Wiki User
Unhook the latches holding down your top Slightly lift back the top from where it was latched down While it is lifted slightly pull the back part up and out of where it is hooked to the back Fold the back flap with the window up Use your key to unlock the top (located behind the drivers door) Pull up the handle under where you put the key in Lift the hinged lid behind your back seats Lower the back flap with the window While you are pushing the entire top back and down you have to take hold of the number 2 metal bar(located right above your head when you are sitting) and pull it forward so the top will go all the way down and fit properly. Once the top is all the way in close the plastic cover. If the top doesn't fit in all the way than you did not pull the 2nd bar forward. Do not force the plastic top to go down all the way just put the top back in place and try again. It takes a couple of times to get good at it but don't worry the 1st time is the hardest.
How do you lower the roof of a 1990 ford capri?
Asked by Wiki User
Inside the left door (In Australia) are two pull out levers the bottom one opens the door for the roof but it has to be unlocked with the key in the slot above them. Once it has clicked you can unlock the handles at the front. There two little red buttons (one each side) that slide forward so the handle can be pulled down, this releases the front of the roof. now that the front is off lift it up slightly (about 6 inches) and unhook the back of the roof and put it up on top. The roof door can now be lifted up and the roof put into it. Don't force it down and make sure the roof is not pinched between the braces. It should all fall into place then the roof hatch can be closed. If this does not work take it to a dealer and they can help...
