What is error code 96 for a Lincoln mark viii?
Error code 96 for a Lincoln Mark VIII typically indicates a problem with the vehicle's air suspension system, specifically related to the air suspension control module or a fault in the air ride system components. This code may arise from issues such as a failed air compressor, leaking air bags, or electrical connections. It's advisable to have the system inspected by a qualified technician to diagnose and resolve the underlying issue. Regular maintenance can help prevent recurrence of this error.
Why will the fuel pump not kick in on your 87 mark Lincoln?
Check the cutoff button in your trunk on the drivers' side on the side of the fender.
How do you replace the cam and crank sensors on a 1993 Lincoln mark viii?
The crank sensor is down by the Air conditioning compressor, remove the electrical connection and remove, can be a real pain. The cam sensor is behind the power steering clear thing so you remove I think 4 bolts and the sensor is behind there. Remove the electrical connection and remove the sensor.
What are the common causes for a 93 Lincoln mark viii to lurch at low rpms?
I just read about this at http://consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/1993-to-1998-lincoln-mark-viii-6.htm
2 issues:
Automatic transmission: Transmission shudder or vibration under light acceleration or when shifting between third and fourth gear above 35 mph can be fixed by replacing the transmission fluid with Mercon 5 fluid. (1992-94) Be sure to drain the torque converter or you leave huge amount of old fluid in the system. The round, black plastic plug in the bell housing, just in front of the tranny oil pan, is the access to the plug. Rotate the engine with a wrench on the crankshaft to get the plug to the bottom.
Also, replace the 1-2 accumulator piston and springs. The original piston suffers from poor design and the springs are likely broken. You can do this easily as it is accessible once you remove the tranny oil pan when changing the oil.
Automatic transmission: The transmission may slip and the engine may flare when the transmission shifts into fourth gear, which can often be traced to a bad TR/MLP sensor. (1993-95)
Does this car have a sun roof if so could it be a drain tube with a hole inside the body?
Sunroof has four drain tubes to control water seeping in thru the seal. Slide the glass back and you will see two holes in the front corners. Rubber tubes run down the front roof pillars and out near the separation between the doors and the fenders and down the rear pillars and out just in front of the rear wheel wells.
How can i read the check suspension codes on my 93 Lincoln mark 8?
I think the check suspension plug is under the hood on the pass. side and you would need a OBD1 scanner to check it. It's usually gray in color and says air suspension on it.
How is it that my engine cranks but will not turn over on my 1997 Lincoln Mark VIII?
If it turns over but just doesn't start, it may be the CRANK POSITION SENSOR located next to the air conditioning compressor. Sometimes you just have to disconnect the electrical connection and re-connect and it may just work then you know that was your problem. It could be the FUEL PUMP also but sometimes they act up some before going out so there is some warning.
Starter keep on turning after the motor is runing?
Sounds like the starter solenoid is stuck. Another possibility is the ignition key switch is not automatically returning from the start to run position. As the switches get older they seem to get stiff. Could be a weak spring in the switch or just gummed up lubricant. The easy test is to try turning the key counter clockwise after starting the engine and see if the starter motor stops running.
Remove a radio from a 1996 Lincoln mark VIII?
YOU'LL NEED TO BUY A RADIO REMOVAL TOO. THAT'S JUST A SKINNY U-SHAPED ROD YOU INSERT INTO THE TWO HOLES ON EACH SIDE OF THE RADIO. IT COST BETWEEN 3 AND 5 DOLLARS AT ANY PARTS STORE. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO PULL THE RADIO RIGHT OUT. IF IT DOESN'T COME LOOSE RIGHT AWAY YOU'LL HAVE TO USE SOME MORE FORCE. THERE'S THIS PLASTIC PART ON THE BACK THE HOLDS THE RADIO IN PLACE AND IT SLIDES ALONG ON A TRACK OVER THE RADIO. SO THAT MIGHT SIT A LITTLE TIGHT. I HAD TO PULL MINE OUT QUIET HARD AND WIGGLE IT A LITTLE TOO. AND WHEN YOU PUT IN A NEW RADIO YOU'LL HAVE TO ATTACH THE PLASTIC PIECE TO THE NEW RADIO WHICH IS NO BIG DEAL. GOOD LUCK THOMAS
make your own tool out of a coat hanger bend 2 in u shape so they fit in eack side of radio holes push in till you feel a bit of resistance and pull with both u shape tools wiggle back and forth the clips will release letting radio come out 1 inch then pull with hands until you can disconnect wiring harness and antennea
Where is the starter located on a 1993 Lincoln mark VIII?
THE STARTER IS ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR, ATTACHED TO THE ENGINE, ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, AHEAD OF THE TRANSMISSION. YOU CAN GET TO IT BY JACKING UP THE FRONT END (THEN SUPPORTING IT WITH JACK STANDS, NOT CINDER BLOCKS) AND CRAWLING UP BEHIND THE PASSENGER FRONT WHEEL. YOU WILL FIND THE TRANSMISSION AND TO THE RIGHT OF IT (OR LOOKING UP, THE LEFT) YOU WILL FIND IT. LOOK AT THE NEW ONE TO HELP IDENTIFY IT. THE STARTER WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE. IF THE RATCHET DOES NOT FIT SNUGLY DO NOT USE IT, YOU WILL STRIP THE BOLT. IT MAY BE A 5/8'S WRENCH AS WAS WITH MY CAR. MAKE SURE YOU SPRAY IT WITH SOME BOLT REMOVER FIRST.
IF THE CAR HAS STARTING PROBLEMS, PERHAPS YOU SHOULD FIRST CONSIDER CHANGING THE SOLENOID. YOU CAN TEST IT FIRST, BUT THE SOLENOID IS ABOUT $12 TO $18 AND IS SIGNIFICANTLY CHEAPER AND EASIER TO CHANGE THAN THE STARTER. I ONLY SAY THIS BECAUSE THE STARTERS ARE USUALLY VERY DEPENDABLE. I HAD A 1988 TOWNCAR WITH 439000 ORIGINAL MILES, THE ONLY THING EVER CHANGED WAS A STARTER SOLENOID TUNE UP PARTS AND AN ALTERNATOR. THIS TEST WILL DETERMINE IF YOUR SOLENOID IS DEFECTIVE INSTEAD OF YOUR EXPENSIVE STARTER:
THE SOLENOID IS LOCATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FENDER CLOSE TO THE BATTERY. YOU NEED TO PLACE THE METAL OVER THE SOLENOID TERMINALS TO PASS IT WHILE SOMEONE IS ATTEMPTING TO CRANK. THERE WILL BE AN ARC SO USE CAUTION. DO NOT USE WITH AN OLD BATTERY NEARBY.
Where are the ignition modules located on a 1997 Lincoln Mark VIII?
Under the hood you will see 2 cables comming from the throttle body. one is the foot pedal the other leads to the cruise control module. That is it! The cruise control unit is located inside the left front fender. You have to remove the wheel and wheel well liner to access it.

Where is the EGR Position sensor located on a 1994 mark VIII?
usually mounted to the intake manifold. It is an aluminum box with 2 hoses going to it. Be very careful not to destroy these hoses as they are extremely expensive!
Where do you find a schematic for replacing a throttle position sensor on 1993 Lincoln mark VIII?

Could be your power packs, either one or both.
Which is the number 2 spark plug on a 1996 Lincoln mark eight?
On modern Ford V8s, the cylinders are numbered 1-4 from front-to-back on the right (passenger) side of the engine, and 5-8 from front-to-back on the left (drivers side). That makes number 2 the second back from the front on the right (passenger) side of the engine.
Will 1998 Thunderbird rear shocks fit on 1998 Mark VIII?
I think so, I have 97's on mine but I took the original mounting brackets and burnt the rubber off them and then just used the hardware that came with the shocks, they are Monroe sensa-tracs #5965, works great.
no... the continental front suspension will not fit. i did some research about this for my 93... the suspension from a cougar or a thunderbird will bolt right in
