How do you replace the water pump on a 1991 mercury topaz 2.3l engine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I just had a water pump installed in my Capri and while they're doing that, make sure they put a new timing belt in, because if you have a 91 Turbo w/ ac, it's a 4.5 hour job because the water pump is under the engine.

How do you change the fuel pump on a 1994 Mercury Topaz?

I believe the pump is in the fuel tank on your car and just pull the tank and replace the pump. The less gas you have in it the easier it is to handle. On some cars you have to drop the exhaust system some.

How do you change the starter on a 93 Topaz?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The starter motor is located under the car. There is three bolts holding it to the side of the transmission. There is also a bracet being held on by the bolt which is connected to the E.G.R. tubes. Just undo the the three nuts and pull the E.G.R. bracet off then undo the power line to the starter and you should have the starter in your hands. Before you do anything though disconnect the + batterie terrminal.

Where do you put the trans fluid in on a 93' Mercury Topaz?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If this is a 4cyl, auto, the dip stick for the tranny is between the rad and engine on the drivers side. Use the special long funnel for this purpose, and be careful not to overfill. Just add a little at a time, and check. If this is a standard, then the oil check plug is underneath on the side. When you open the plug, oil should just come out slightly, the car should be level. If you need oil, then you need a special pump to add. It uses reg. auto trans fluid. Good luck.

How do you fix overheating engine 1993 mercury topaz?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends on why its overheating. IF the Radiator fan is not kicking on, then there are several things you can check.

One is that the AC system is working properly. Unfortunately, Ford tied in the AC system to the cars cooling system (overheating). And without the AC System working properly you might have to wire a toggle switch directly to the fan, with a fuse link on one side, to be able to manually turn on the fan when the car reaches temperature.

IF the AC unit is working properly there are 2 sensors. One is on top of the thermostat housing, and actually is in the housing. The other is in the engine block right next to the thermostat housing. IF either of these is not working properly, then the fan unit will not come on.

If that is not the problem, you may have a blockage somewhere, and need a serious cleaning of the radiator and/or engine block.

Check the trunk, driver's side close to the hinge. You should see a label that says Fuel Pump Reset Switch right next to a finger hole in the lining along the top of the side. The fuel switch is in there.

How do you check trouble codes on a 1992 Mercury Topaz?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First you need the proper equipment to do this job. There should be a plug in under the hood, on passenger side where you plug in your tester. Then you need the book on the codes. Sometimes it is less expensive to just go to a service station and have this done. It will save you time and money.

How do you replace the water pump on a 1993 Mercury Topaz?

Asked by Wiki User

all that you have to do is to locate the fan you take the bolts out of the fan take the fan out. then you will be able to unbolt the water pump it should have 8 to 10 bolts in it . when you get the bolts out you may have to pry the pump loose because it is being held to the block with a sealer. take a screwdriver and gently pry it loose be very very careful not to gouge the block. then you put a sealer like permatex on the pump be sure to form a complete gasket. then put the bolts back in be sure to tighten them up firmly. replace the fan and you are ready to go.

AnswerIt is located near the firewall at the back, bottom of the engine, put it up on blocks and get at it from below. Make sure you flush the coolant and checkk the timing belt while you are in there. Any cracks and you should redo it. Actually anything over 100,000 kms and you should do it any way. Allow about 3 hours, very tricky but easy. Water Pumps AnswerWhat was left out of that answer is that you need to disconnect the battery and THEN drain the coolant. Then you remove the serpentine belt from the pump's pulley and then remove the hoses from the pump. Remove the bolts holding the pump in place and then remove the gasket and any remaining residue from the gasket from around the block...be THORTOUG here, as any pieces of the gasket getting into the engine block can cause you problems later that you don't want to deal with. Re-install the pump in the exact opposite manner as removal, using a new o-ring in the pressure fitting on the hose, and tighten all bolts accordingly. You should be good for another 100,000 miles now!

Well, how about we know the engine first.. say 4cyl, 2.3L car has to be on jack stands, 2 bolts from the bottom, plus the tensioner, 1 bolt from the top, have to have small hands, long extension socket, check your manual or fix it book. Good luck

Why would a 1994 Mercury Topaz have no spark even after the coil has been replaced?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Take out your Ignition Control Module (ICM for short). Take it to a parts store to have it tested. If it's good, check your cam and crank position sensors. Also, check the lead wire from the cap to the coil Also you can take out the distribuator and look at the gear on the bottom the gear is know to wear out after 100,000 miles on the vulcan engine 3.0. You can take out or disconect the SPOUT and see if the car starts. If it does change the computer. GL_ Good Luck.
