Why won't a 1995 Ford Thunderbird shift out of park?

I can't imagine the two are related. Try turning your steering wheel left and right when taking it out of Park. Sometimes just releasing the pressure on the shift mechanism lock will allow you to get it out of Park. For the brake lights, check the fuses. Good luck.

What would cause a 1996 Ford Thunderbird to start 'missing' as if not getting any gas or something going up an incline while attempting to accelerate?

Hey Susan==Change the fuel filter and see if that cures it. If not have the fuel pump preasure checked. GoodluckJoe My '96 T-Bird with 4.6 L OHC engine starts to miss sometimes due to spark jumping across the ceramic of the plugs from the top to the base. Cleaning out the plug hole in the head and replacing the plug with a new one corrects the problem. Usually only one or two at at time start to do this. On my car, the cylinder at the front passenger side is the most frequent, but others have done it too. You can see a black trace down the ceramic on the plug where an electrical path has formed. It's amazing that the spark will jump so far (about 3/4" or more) down the ceramic on the outside of the plug, rather than going inside the plug where it's supposed to go and jump about a 0.050 inch gap. Thanks guys for the reply & suggestions. We did solve the problem. It was the spark plugs. They were gapped too wide. After that was fixed, everything worked fine. Susan

How do you repair a 1997 Ford Thunderbird that suddenly has a high idle and will cruise without cruise control like the throttle is sticking?

t-bird flys it's selfCould be: kink in throttle cable. Remember there's two. One for you, and one for the cruise. Make sure there's no abrupt bends or curves.

Could be: corroded throttle cable, (sticking). Replace.

Could be: defective throttle cable. Replace.

Or, could be: broken, loose and/or defective throttle return spring. Make sure the anchor point of spring is in place. The sping is located on the throttle body itself (coiled type) and must not spin around, but be held in place at one end.

Maybe it's a problem with the throttle plate sticking in the bore of the throttle body. Tricky fix. Probably best to remove and renew the componet, otherwise the problem, that is if this is the problem, might come back. Remove the air-intake snorkle and visually inspect that the throttle plate opens and closes with no indication of binding whatsoever. Ah, do this with the engine off. Open the plate all the way and rub your finger on the bore of the throat. It must be smooth, with no ridge nor pits, scratches and what not.

Could be: idle air control motor needs cleaning or replacemnet. Possibly sticking open, but I doubt it.

If the engine is suffering from a vacuum leak, this could be the reason for a fast idle. From your description of the complant I would say that said leak would have to be of considerable size. Check brake booster line. PCV hose.

Could be: linkage under dash to gas pedal. Binding? Bent? How's the throttle cable look going through the firewall?

During normal operation, with no problems, the car's computer will increase the engine idle speed during cold starts to allow for faster warm-ups. I'm not sure, but I think this is a timed event, programed to last less than 60 seconds by the engine management computer. Or by Coolant Temp. Sensor (CTS) readings. Service Engine light on? Check for trouble codes. If the CTS is defective the engine will remain in Open Loop and possibly not stabalize to a normal idle rpm. When you do start it up cold, does it idle fast then drop? If the above mentioned possible reasons have been exhausted, explore engine management systems, i.e. defective computer. Probably not though.

Cold be: defect in the mechanical aspects of the cruise control. Linkage, cable, chains. Vacuum motor binding. May not be allowing the throttle to close properly.

c ya: grade a da mopar man!

MAYBE IT'S THE TROTTLE POSITION SENSOR.
