Mercury Cougar

According to the 2001 Mercury Cougar Owner Guide :

( the fuel tank holds 15.4 US. gallons )

Is that the factory radio?

First thing to check is the bulbs on the backside of the gauge cluster.

I'm replacing all mine tonight :)

It means there is insufficient flow within your EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system.

While it could be a faulty component such as the dfpe sensor, the EGR solenoid or the EGR valve itself it is most often clogged passages. These are between the throttle body and the intake manifold (under the gasket - you won't find them unless you remove the gasket). Carb cleaner will dissolve the carbon build up.

Yes, you should be able to fit 17" rims from 2001-2002 Special Edition Cougars ZN,XR,35th Anniversary. I own the 35th Anniversary Edition, but prefer rims for ZN or XR, which have painted black accents to give dual spoke look. You can then get any of the Special Edition paint matching center caps. XR Center caps came in either Black or Vibrant Red. 35th Caps are available in French Blue(Also available from C2 Cougar), Laser Red, or Black(Also available from ZN cougars). I believe the tallest rim on the C2 was only 16". Depending on you color of cougar, this can really enhance the dull standard rims. Black works well with most other Cars. If you want to keep your rim, I believe the 99-00 Special Edition Cougars in the Zinc Yellow (pre ZN Edition) would work. They have smaller Zinc yellow paint matching cougar logo's, but might be an option for you as well. Hope this answers your question.

A bad O2 on this generation Cougar quickly throws a code and trips the check engine light.

If you don't have a light, get it scanned at autozone or such anyways, as the dash lights do burn out from time to time.

Fuel economy does take a bit of a hit with a bad O2, not by much. The worst parts of a bad O2 is that a) you can't tell if you have another code going off, and b) it will likely result in you not passing emissions testing if your state tests.

Is it an ATX or MTX to start with? Look at the forum newcougar dot org, there's alot of people on there that can help.

there isn't one... I know I was surprised too.

The started has a solenoid right on it and that's it.

Look by the thermostat housing you will see a single wire with a "L" plug.

unplug the wire which is plugged in to the water sensor for the temp gauge.

Ground the wire to the engine block, turn the ignition key to on but do not start engine

look at the temp gauge it should read all the way to the right (in the red).

If you see this then the gauge is working and the sending unit is bad. If the gauge does not respond check the instrument panel fuse, if the fuse is good the gauge is bad..

Just start in the center, and alternately, work your way towards the ends of the head.

..... sense water temperature?

go to autozone .com then go to troubleshooting and ignition you will find it there

Our manual shows f24 as brake light fuse

Depends on what else is going on. Check the basics.... Fuel, Air, Spark. There is probably about 30 or so things that could be wrong. More info, then maybe we can help better.

Relay R1 is located in the power distribution box ( which is " live " )

The power distribution box is located in the engine compartment on the drivers

side in a 1999 Mercury Cougar

in the truck under the carpet you can see the fuel pump hose or line. if you were to follow that you might find if.

Check the owners manual. It will contain all that fuse info.

=================================================================================

According to the 2000 Mercury Cougar Owner Guide :

In the passenger compartment fuse panel :

( # 20 is a 10 amp fuse , black color , for the wipers )

* also , relay # 15 , green color , is for the front wipers

The EGR valve is a round disk like device about 43-4 inches across with a hose coming off of it on top of the engine near back right of center of engine.

I have changed horn modules on a 1994 Cougar, which should be the same from 1993 through 1997. There were two horns (one low-pitch, one high-pitch) located in the engine compartment located near the bottom of the radiator, one on the left and one on the right, about 24 inches apart.

The Ford service manual I located the parts in indicated that for my 1994, the dual-horn configuration was normal.

the vehicle is equipped with daytime running lights a safety feature that most vehicles have not alot can be done unless you want to tear the drivers dash apart to take the sensor out that is located near the vin plate in the dash
