#1938 of 1947 Re: Help with 93 Cougar [angelkist2003] by mary50 Aug 19, 2008 (7:39 pm)
Replying to: angelkist2003 (Jul 08, 2006 6:06 pm) I have a '97 Cougar that "ran like shit". I did have the problem with hitting the gas and no power. I like PepBoys for my car repairs. Replace the air filter (mine was full of water), replace the fuel filter, replace the spark plugs and spark plug wires. The gas is not getting through the fuel line.

Replying to: mary50 (Aug 19, 2008 7:39 pm) I am a little confused! your title says 93 cougar ,but your text says 97 which is it? Now how did water get in the air filter? did you drive through a puddle of water? A deep puddle??????? if so get your oil and oil filter changed quick! did the parts you changed fix your problem? if not you need to check you Positive crankcase ventilation valve (PCV) and do a Fuel pressure check, your fuel pump maybe defective. can you hear the fuel pump when you turn you key to the ON position (not start) if not your pump is dead. or maybe someone has put something in your gas tank to clog it up. In any case you will have to have the gas tank pulled. ....... Write back I would like to know more....... good luck.

Replying to: tracys68 (Feb 21, 2008 5:20 pm) I had this problem. It was caused by deterioration of front lower control arm bushings on both sides. The fix was to replace the two lower control arms.

#1943 of 1947 coolant!?!?big deal? by dscdad77 Jul 09, 2009 (9:06 pm)
I am having an apparent coolant problem with my wife's 2000 cougar and as I read the drivers handbook it really seems to emphacize that it needs some special coolant and to NOT mix the green anti freeze with it. is there anything but green anti freeze? Guess I am a little out of date?
#1944 of 1947 Engine sound by pshort Aug 02, 2009 (12:15 pm)
My 2001 Cougar makes a whoo whoo whoo sound and will try and stall when I put in park. It's been doing this for quite some time. Just a strange noise. When I get up to about 65+, I don't usually hear the sound. I've had the injectors cleaned out, etc. Just wondering if anyone has the same problem. Tks
#1945 of 1947 Looking for advice. by lawlor_brawler Aug 05, 2009 (12:00 pm)
Hello all,    I am looking to buy a '99 Mercury Cougar V6 with about 80,000 kms on it. As Cougar owners, i expect you will best know the problems associated with the car. I just want to know what i should look out for when i go to test drive the car. For example i have been doing a lot of reading on other forums and i know the stereos are problematic, as are the sunroofs... Are there other things i should look for that will cause future problems?   Thanks.
#1946 of 1947 trunk lid won't close by aussieecho Aug 20, 2009 (5:08 am)
2000 cougar started making grinding noises when utilizing the remote trunk opener. Now the lid will close but keeps popping open. the small lever in the lock mechanism that seems to block the closer hook. Tried pulling the trunk release, clicking the remote, changing the remote battery, using the key. None will allow the lid to close completely . Any new approaches ?">
