All O2 sensors are mounted in the exhaust system. There will ususally be one before the catalytic converter and one or two after the catalytic converter.

You can go to www.autozone.com Click on 'repair info'(middle, far-left of webpage) --> click on 'troubleshooting'(under 'repair info'), --> click on one of the 'feels', 'looks', etc. pics (in your case, probably the 'sounds' one) --> then go from there. The probable causes are listed in priority from 1 to how ever many probable causes are listed. You can find out what price it would cost for a particular part by 'choosing a vehicle'(top-left corner), then continuing with the answers pertaining to your vehicle. If you want this info saved (so you won't have to keep inputting the info into the website everytime you return to it, then you can register for free and save your info for future use. Also, you can add other vehicles you might own.) You may want to start with the lowest cost item and go upwards from there, especially if the item is in the top 5 or so of the priority listed. Hope this helps!

IT 'S ON THE RADIATOR SUPPORT BEHIND THE HEADLIGHT. THERE IS A HORN ON EACH SIDE.

there is a clip on the inside that holds the handle on/ very simple to remove, position the handle with the handle grip up so you can see the other side of the handle. pull outward on the handle some and you should see the clip. take a skinny long screw driver and pop the clip and the handle will come right off.

According to one of Ford's websites :

For the 1.9 liter four cylinder engine in a 1994 Mercury Tracer :

( the spark plug gap is .054 inch )

A fuel cut-out in a Mercury Tracer 93 is a sensor which will check the fuel level or can prevent the flow of fuel and thus a car cannot move. When this happens, the fuel cut out light will come on.Ê

According to the ( 1996 ) Mercury Tracer Owner Guide :

With engine oil filter change :

Both the 1.9 and 1.8 take :

( 4.0 U.S. quarts , 5W-30 is the PREFERRED oil )

PULL THE DIPSTICK!! the dip stick is located between the engine and the battery on the driver's side under the hood!

no.

ignition control module is located under the distributor cap

The dome light cover is somewhat flexible plastic. By pressing the front of the lens toward the back, and some judicious prying, it will pop out. I just tried that on my car, and I recommend doing this with a warm car :) ss

To adjust the presets on the radio hold down the preset buttons when the selected radio station is on. This will select the chosen radio station as a preset option.

Check the brake fluid level in your brake master cylinder in the engine compartment ( the brake light also comes on if the parking / emergency brake is applied )

Check the engine.

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

There is a problem with something that effects the emissions of the engine

You need to have the vehicle scanned for any trouble codes to help diagnose

and then repair the problem

To remove the radio, you will need a special tool to go into the two holes on the left and right side of the radio panel. The tool could probably be made from a metal coat hanger, by cutting about a 6 inch piece and bending into a U shape. When you insert this tool it just releases the panel and allows you to pull it out. Unfortunately you cannot change out the radio if you have the standard AM/FM radio that came with my 98 Tracer. I had to order a kit from somewhere like crutchfield.com. This entire process is a pain in the butt because the A/C controls are on this same panel. So be prepared to remove LOTS of wires. The kit you buy will come with instructions on what you need to disconnect, and it will have a hole in it so you can replace the radio with any standard in-dash radio you can find anywhere (Best Buy, Circuit City, Crutchfield, etc.). It took me a while to get mine done and I would NEVER attempt to do it again, but it was totally worth getting a CD player in my car. Good luck!

R-12 was outlawed in 1992. Why don't you use R-134A. Put in into the low-pressure port.

For a 1999 Mercury Tracer :

In the passenger compartment fuse panel

The panel is labelled " CIGAR " and will be a 20 amp fuse

its located under air cleaner bolted to fender wall there are two one for hi and one for low

You'll need a coil spring compressor. Jack up the rear end. Remove rear tire. Open the rear trunk - remove rubber cover / locate the "three" mounting bolts to the assemby. Remove lower mounting bolt on strut. Remove strut assembly -caution ... it's under a lot of pressure from the coil spring. Remove the OLD strut from the assembly. To replace the new strut, you'll need to compress the coil spring as much as possible. Re-assemble the strut to the mounting hardware. Push the "three bolt" assembly through the trunk mount and tighten. Re-attach the lower mounting bolt to the strut.

Be advised "under a lot of pressure from the coil spring." Is a serious understatement. You need a special tool to compress this strut and attempting to disassemble strut without the tool locking it in could result in SERIOUS injury or even death.
