O2 sensor problems with Mercury Villager?

If the o2 sensor is bad, replace it. If the sensors are activating the check engine light, then the codes should be checked. The catalytic converter could be blocked or the engine may not be running properly.

Mercury villager makes a clicking sound when trying to start It won't start and its not the starter. I had it checked.?

A clicking sound when you try to start the car is a dead battery. It may be that the alternator is not charging it properly.

I replaced the CV Shaft on the passanger's side of my 99 villager but it seems to make a rubbing or grinding noise. Also CV nut goes about an inch down the shaft from the cotter pin. what's missing?

This is an involved procedure compared to the left shaft, but basically the same. The noise could be that the shaft was not fully seated in the transaxle. Or the washer was not put back in place at the outer stub. Did you use a new nut to attach the outer stub? The only other possibility is faulty new shaft bearings.

Why does the vehicle shut down on acceleration?

A vehicle can shut down on acceleration because of faulty or clogged injectors, a clogged catalytic converter, and a failing fuel pump. Other possibilities are a bad fuel sending unit, and a dirty fuel filter. The alternator is another thing that should be checked.

Your 1994 Mercury Villager keeps stalling when you are not giving it gas or when you coast what could be the problem?

My wife drives a 1994 mercury villager with the same problem stalling while driving,hard to start,and fuel odor The first and easiest thing to do is pull the vacum hose off of the fuel pressure regulator this is the top one usally red from factory runs from top of the reg to the intake manifold if their is fuel in the hose you know that's it. Note No one carries this part in stock, and pretty difficult to get the back screw out. also the bottom return line is difficult to work with. Ford 169.95 Autozone 99.00 Napa 85.00 Advance Auto 65.00 RockAuto.com 55.00 ALL THE ABOVE HAD TO ORDER IT WHERE I LIVE.

What controls blower on 2000 mercury villager Estate?

When a timing belt on a 1999 mercury villager brakes will it hurt the valves?

In spite of what you might have heard, the engine in the Villager is NOT an interference engine, and the valves will not be damaged if the belt breaks.

The above answer is not correct when it comes to the 1999 model. The 3.0 L V6 in the 1993 to 1998 Villager is not an interference engine but, the 3.3 L V6 found in your 1999 Mercury Villager is definately an interference engine. If the belt breaks on the 3.3 L you will have engine damage. Replace the belt every 105,000 miles

I do not believe you are correct. These engines differ only in bore, the stroke is the same. I have it directly from the man who was engineering liaison with Nissan on the Villager platform. Ford specified that this engine could not be interference. My own testing implies that this is not an interference engine.

After some more research I am unsure and you may be right. It seems Ford may have redesigned the 3.3 L Nissan engine in the 1999 Villager so it would not be an interference engine. But Gates website lists it as an interference engine in it's newest application guide. So my recommendation is to not take any chances and just replace it every 105,000 miles.

How do you fix a speedometer on a 2000 Mercury Villager?

You would fix it by replacing the instrument cluster. The speedometer itself may not be faulty, it is more likely to be a problem with the speed sensor.

Where is the oil pump on a 2002 mercury villager?

Basically, it is behind the crankshaft pulley on the outside of the engine. To help visualize its' position, locate the oil filter mount. That is part of the oil pump. The timing belt, crank pulley, oil pan, and power steering pump must all be removed to gain access. Did you say you were thinking of replacing the timing belt anyway? Go for the water pump and belt tensioner too while you're at it.

Do you have to pull the fuel tank to replace the fuel pump on a 2001 alero?

What does a mechanic charge for a catalytic converter for a mercury villager?

The Villager has two converters. The whole front converter/pipe assembly sells for around $300 or so, (NON-California), the rear converter for around $150, also NON-California. Generic converters can be installed as well by welding them into the existing pipes, this should cost no more than $150 each. California models require different converters certified for that state, and may also have additional converters attached to the exhaust manifolds. These can be VERY expensive, up to $1000 each.

Where is vapor canister on 1995 mercury villager?

The EVAP canister is located near the brake master cylinder. It is about 5 inches in diameter and has three hoses attached to it.

How do you know if oil pump is bad on a 2001 mercury villager?

Oil pumps don't normally wear out. If the oil pump is so worn that it cannot supply sufficient oil pressure, it's safe to assume the whole engine is worn out. Low oil pressure is usually the result of wear in the crankshaft, connecting rod, and cam bearings, not a worn oil pump. You wouldn't really notice any symptoms anyway, except low oil pressure and volume.

What is wrong when the front left brake caliper is sticking on a 1997 Mercury Villager?

Possible problem with the caliper, its slides, or collapsed hose. Check for ABS codes. Check that the ABS modulator is not holding pressure to the brake. Check for clogged line or junction. Also there is a check valve on the master cylinder which can hold pressure to both the front left and right rear brake. It is called a "dumping unit" in the diagram, but I have not found a use for it, or a proper explanation for why it is there.
