It's a big deal, 'cause it's INSIDE the gas tank. Haffta drop the whole gas tank to get at it.

On a modern engine, there really isn't a physical part that acts as a governor, it is simply limits programmed into the ECM (computer). You may be able to change or remove these by taking it to someone with the appropriate device to reprogram it.

Found the problem....I changed the Idle Air Control Valve. Thnaks to all that answered my question.

Two things I can think of:

Carbon build-up on the injectors; solution: speed on the highway (65+ MPH).

Idle is set too low; solution: find the idling screw and turn it up.

You probably have a 4.6 motor? If so you may have egr passageways plugging up. Although they usually are a problem whem warm if this is true. Next guess is a sensor such as a coolant temp sensor. It monitors the coolant temperature and tells the computer to adjust the fuel/air ratio. It feeds it more fuel when cold to warm it quicker. If the sensor is telling the computer bad info it may be starving or dumping too much fuel in. The computer controls the idle (no adjustment).

I had similar problem on a 96. I changed the air mass flow sensor and it ran like a champ. Took about 15 minutes. Very simple. Part costs about $85 remanufactured. Dealer tried to charge me about $300 to replace!!!

You can't, the serpentine belt (or fan belt) on a grand marquis is equiped with a self tensioner, if your belt is making noise it either needs to be replaced or one of the pulleys on the cars may be loose and would need to be replaced.

On a 1996 Grand Marquis there are 4 oxygen sensors. 2 (1 on each bank) are mounted before the front catalysts near the manifold-->cat-pipe flange. These are the HEGOS or Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen Sensor. These are the primary o2s and are what help the PCM determine the correct A/F ratio. There are another 2 directly after the fisrt set (1 on each bank) of catalysts moutned on the exhaust piping between the two catalysts on each bank. The primary goal of these is to monitor the catalysts' effieceincy. In summary: 4 o2 sensors in all 2 are the upstream/HEGOS o2s 2 the downstream o2s 4 cat-convertors in all

Depends on the oil leak. If it is on the exhaust manifolds, that's Valve covers. Pull them off, clean the head contact point and the covers themselves and replace the gaskets. If it on the Rear of your motor, there are two possibilites. If its on the top of the motor and no where else, that's probably a lower intake rear gasket. In order to replace that, you have to remove the upper intake AKA plenum, unbolt the heater hoses, any hoses attached to your intakes(vaccum mostly) remove the lower intake, and scrape clean any contact points. Place new gaskets to the lower intake, place the lower intake Squarely on the motor or else it will leak. then re-attach any vacum lines, re-attach the upper intake, the heater lines and drive. If the motor is leaking oil from the rear and its all over your transmission, and the tip of your starter motor, then its a Rear Main Seal. Since this involves removal of the Flexplate and Transmission, I would recommend a shop for this one. If its leaking from the front of the motor, it could be a front mainseal, whick involves removing all of the accesories, the water pump and any other associated attachments. Also recommend a shop for this seal. If the motor is leaking from the bottom only, this is most likely an Oil Pan Gasket. In order to change this gasket, raise the motor by removing the motor mounting bolts, and jacking the motor up with a hydraulic jack. place blocks of wood under the space you have gained with the motor mounts. then un-bolt the oil pan, and lower it onto the frame. disconntect the oil pump and pick-up tubes and remove them from the pan. then carefully remove the old gasket and scrape the residue from the block and pan. slide in the new gasket, replace the pan back to the block and tighten the bolts. Raise the motor again, remove the wood blocks, lower it onto the mounts and attach the mounts. Finally, there may also be a oil leak from the base of the distributor. To replace this, unplug the distributor and slide it out. Be sure to mark #1 spark plug wire and #1 position on the distributor. after the distributor is out, pull the old O-ring fron the motor where the dist slides in. place the new o-ring and replace the distributor.

You need a code reader, OBD1 they changed to OBD2 in 1996 and newer. you can order one on line, i did for my 93. it hooks up to a plug on the drivers side fender well. It will come with a book of instructions and codes

To remove dash, pull off decorative trim on bottom. left of steering wheel is about a 7 inch piece, right of SW is about 22 inches, behind these are Bristol screws to remove the bottom of the dash cover, top of dash cover has Bristol screws whcih you can see. Must remove AC/Heater/headlight switch knobs.

Your intake plenum(big gray thing) has 6 bolts. 2 in the front 2 under the plenum cover(thing that says 5.0) and 2 in the back. locate the 2 in the font and on the exact opposite side in the back you will see the other two bolts. Just behind it you will see it. there will be a bunch of hoses follow the biggest hose and just pull it. it should come right off from PVC valve. to replace it I suggest removing the hood and using a pair of pliers to pull it from the grommet. if you can hear it rattle its good. you may also want to replace the crankcase filter if its clogged. use pliers and a long screw to remove it.

yes ---- Check the rim width and the offset. I have stock 15's on my '92, and I can crank it far enough to rub the swaybar.

Also, you might want to upgrade your springs and shocks to help keep the fender wells off of your rubber.

I have a 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis and my mother has a 2003 and they both are the same, so yours probably is also. After you pull the trunk lining away so that you can see the metal, there are 3 large black plastic wing nuts that you unscrew. Once you remove those, the tail light section will come out from the front and then you can get to the bulbs to replace them.

The cooling system on this vehicle does not use a radiator cap on the radiator but on a remote tank. It may have a different (larger) cap on it than what you are used to seeing on the radiator.

The 1992 grand marquis has rear drum brakes.

92 grand marqs also has optional discs. To remove the calipers, simply loosen the two large bolts holding the calipers. then compress the piston back with a C-clamp using the old pad as a base. place the caliper on the mount, replace the bolts and hit the brakes once to check for contact. Also, it is a good idea to grease the sliding bolts.

I would direct you to a very similar question concerning 1994 Marqs:

How do you access the rear drum brakes on a 1994 Grand Marquis

and the answer I provided therein.

"I know that 1992+ are discs, but the rears have drums built into them for the emergency brake. [edit] However, to access the rear emergency brake pads is a different process than is typical for a rear drum setup.

It involves removing the axle shafts, so I would recommend taking it to a shop."

Concerning the above statement, emergency brake pad/hardware replacement on a rear-disc equiped Mercury Marquis involves no such thing! The e-brake is simply a mini-drum brake type assembly within the disc itself. As with most drum brake-equiped vehicles, there's an access slot on the backing plate to back the adjustment off, allowing disc removal in cases where the e-brake shoes have worn into the rotor drum (for lack of a better term). Occasionally this slot doesn't quite line up with the adjuster, but it is there! To those researching such a relatively simple procedure, don't let morons like the individual who posted above confuse you with their misinformation.

I WOULD BY A REFERENCE BOOK COVERING YOUR CAR IN AN PARTS STORE SHOULD BE VERY HELPFUL AND REMOVING THE PANEL SHOULD NOT BE DIFFICULT

Tonight I took off my door panel to get to the non-functioning window regulator and I thought it was a bit crazy what I had to do to get the thing off myself. First of all, there should be three (3) visible screws that need to be removed. One is in the top left corner of the panel, the other is down on the left corner of the panel inside the door pocket, and the other is down on the right corner of the panel. Next, you need to use a flat-head screw driver and remove the casing around the door handle. Then you need to pop up the casing around the power switches and with a Phillips screw-driver remove the 4 screws from the underside of the switches. Next, pop out the clear light covering on the bottom right corner of the door. You'll also need to twist out the bulb unit from the door. Then there are two hidden screws underneath either end of the door handle. Using a flat-head screw-driver, pop up the soft ends of the handle and you'll find your 2 screws. Lastly, carefully lift up on the panel to clear the hooks that are holding it in place and pop out the edges of the door so that it'll come right off. Good Luck!

The two screws are actually underneath the door pull handle, not the actual open latch where you would remove the rectangular like casing.

Just assuming it has between 50,000 and 80,000 miles it is almost certainly the O2 sensor. Very popular after 50,000 miles and hardly ever causes any noticeable problems except maybe a slight drop in fuel economy because it will be running a little rich.

I have a 1998 Mercury that this happens to when the gas level gets below 1/4 of a tank. My brother is a mechanic and said that it's just the O2 level and it doesn't cause any harm. To reset it, just unplug the battery for about 2 minutes, then plug it back in.

I purchases a used 2000 Grand Marquis in January and my check light came on without apparent cause. I had it checked and it was a intake manifold leak. Ford has a recall on these manifolds that ends some time this month and will replace the bad manifold for free. You need to have it placed on a computer at a dealership. Ford lost a law suit about the bad intake manifold recently. .
