Mercury Topaz

the timing is usually set by adjusting the distributor and using a timing light on the number one cylinder and pointing the light at the harmonic balancer on the bottom of the engine crankshaft pulley,the timing mark on thr balancer should be marked on the correct degree for example 10 degrees before top dead center. as the distributor is turned the timing on the light will adjust to the balancer . to get the correct timing look under your hood for a sticker that has timing and sparkplug gap specs.

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.

Have the module in the dist checked out. I had the exact same problem for 2 years. And every one had a different reason. Its a bad fuel pump, i promise. Replace the fuel pump and throw on a new fuel filter and it will run great. just make sure you dont buy the cheapest one. I did that and it broke a year later. ive had a new one in for about 4 years now and no more problem. replacing the pump means emptying your gas tank enough to drop the gas tank and remove the top of the tank the pump is right there its a pain in the butt but relatively cheap if you do it yourself. around $60.00 dollars.Good luck

I have a 93 Topaz that had the same issue, and it was an easy fix - the solenoid needed to be replaced. If the problem is the solenoid, the problem may get worse so that the car won't even start when it's cooled down.

To replace the clutch on the AC compressor in a 1993 Mercury Topaz with a 2.3 4-cylinder engine, you will need to first disconnect the negative battery terminal, remove the serpentine belt, then remove the compressor from the engine. Once the compressor is out, you can remove the old clutch and install the new one, ensuring everything is properly aligned and torqued to specification before reassembling the components. Consider consulting a repair manual for detailed instructions and diagrams specific to your vehicle.

Loosen the alternator and take off the tension pulley. It will be a little tough to get the pully on but it is an easier then trying to fight the belt. The tension pully is spring loaded so it is a little more adjustable.

Hope that helps

In the V6, you will have a tensioner indicated in the diagram under the hood. Route the belt as indicated (if you have no sticker, go to Autozone and ask them to print a diagram for you). Then insert either a 1/2" breaker bar or a 1/2" drive socket into the tensioner's arm (square hole) to move the tensioner pulley into a position where you can slip the belt under it. (it's gonna be tight!) I found that I had to use a socket to rotate the crankshaft in order to get the belt all the way on due to the metallic knuckle that sits close to the crank pulley. The ribs make it nearly impossible to slide the belt all the way under that piece.

The rear belt is pretty much the same with fewer pulleys to deal with, but the diagram should clue you in to that.

Common heater problems in Mercury Topaz vehicles include issues with the heater control valve, the heater core, the blower motor, and the thermostat. These problems can result in insufficient heat in the cabin, coolant leaks, or a malfunctioning heating system. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs can help prevent or resolve these issues.

Without more specific information about the noise, it is difficult to determine the exact cause. However, some common culprits for noise in a 1987 Mercury Topaz could include issues with the exhaust system, such as a leaking or damaged muffler, or problems with the suspension components, such as worn-out shock absorbers or struts. It is recommended to have a professional mechanic diagnose and repair the issue.

Replacing a rear quarter panel on a 1992 Mercury Topaz typically involves welding or bonding the new panel onto the car's structure. Bolting alone is not sufficient as it may not provide the necessary strength and stability for the panel. It is recommended to consult with a professional body shop for this repair to ensure proper installation.

I believe there is a button in the trunk. I will check my manual

The fuse box is located behind the plastic panel or councole, on the left lower side of the steering column. Remove the two screws at the lower end of the dash and pull the lower steering panel cover off. Again The fuse panel will be behind this at the lower left. The panel you are removing is the same color as your dash board or counsole. It had taken me awhile to find it also. The local Ford garage could not even tell me on the phone where it was. They just said under the dash. Well you have to remove the panel. very easy just a pain.

I believe it was an option, so some models may have it while others don't. Hope that helps.

all you have to do to get out the old one is there is a hole on bolth sides of the stero and if you get a hanger it will normally work and you just have to pull it out i thought i was going to break some thing but it was all good

Look in the trunk on the left side and close to the back of the trunk (farthest away from the back bumper). There should be a metal brace on the side of the trunk, with a finger access hole. The switch is inside and underneath, with the red reset button on top. Press down on the red reset button.

start by taking the wheel off then take off the caliper. After take the rotor off. Then there is a nut with a pin through it, take the pin out and undo the nut. Now the hub will come off and one bearing will come out. With a hamer and a punch drive out the other bearing and the grease seal. You should change the races as well(the serface the bearings ride on inside the hub. You will meed it buy wheel bearing grease and pack the new bearings with grease. You can never use enough grease the more the better. Repeat the process in reverse to reinstall. If you have any more Questions E-mail me at reese_koch@hotmail.com

Trouble code P0135 means:O2 sensor heater circuit malfunction

(Bank 1 Sensor 1)

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.

On the valve cover

topaz is valuable like monkeys

what is the engine?

Check for loose or corroded battery cables Check trigger wire on starter (small wire) for corrosion (common problem) Bad starter solenoid

If the pool of mercury is big enough, you can see your own face. The surface of mercury is shiny like a mirror.

Go to www.autozone.com where they have a great repair section that is pretty much the Haynes auto repair book online and best of all it's free. They should be able to tell you how to do any repair.

In a 1991 Mercury Topaz, the passive restraint fuse is typically located in the fuse box under the dashboard, near the driver's side. You can identify the fuse by checking the diagram on the fuse box cover, which indicates the specific fuse for the passive restraint system. If you're having difficulty locating it, consult the owner's manual for detailed information.

Yes you can. Mercury is normally visible in the mornings or evenings.
