#1532 of 3244 Performance & Handling Pkg by jbrown31 Aug 26, 2002 (8:03 am)
I'm strongly considering purchasing a 2001 Crown Vic or Grand Maquis in the next few days. I've been researching the 02's and 03's CV and noticed that when the Handling & Performance pkg was added, it included dual exhaust. I can't find any similar info on the 01's however. Is there any way that I can tell for sure if the CV has the handling package? Also, does the GM even come with that option?   Thanks for any help. I look forward to owning what looks like it's going to be a great car.

Both CV and GM come with handling package. The surest method to ensure the car has it is to count the exhaust pipes. Two means the car does. One means it doesn't.

Just be sure and get down under the car and count the actual exhaust pipes, and not just the tips sticking out the rear end. My T-Bird has dual exhaust tips, but only one exhaust pipe that splits in two just before it gets to the back of the car.

the alloy wheels are different - the "lace" pattern similar to an early 90's BMW.   Exhaust and wheels are the easiest giveaways.
#1537 of 3244 locked in park by gmarquis Aug 27, 2002 (8:20 am)
I have a problem that started this weekend. I was in a store parking lot getting ready to go home and my 2000 Marquis wouldn't shift out of park. I went through everything a couple of times but it just stayed locked in park. I was finally able to get it going by putting the ignition switch to off (but not in the steering wheel lock position), shifting into neutral, starting the car, and them putting it into drive/reverse. When I got home I noticed that the brake position sensor fuse was blown. I thought a new fuse might fix it, but two fuses both blew as soon as I put them in. I noticed a smell from the fuse blowing and remembered smelling the same odor when I was driving earlier, but I can't remember if it was before or after the problem occured, so I don't know if it was the original cause, or the aftermath from driving with whatever relay involved in the park lockout circuit activated. Anybody else ever have this problem? My wife is driving the car right now using the workaround, but I need to get it into the dealer if it isn't something I can do myself.

The lacy spoke wheels are no longer a guarantee the car has the handling package. Ford made them available as an option without the handling package a year or so ago.
#1540 of 3244 GM Dual Exhaust? by beem Aug 28, 2002 (7:03 am)
Just purchased a 2001 Grand Marquis LS, but now notice that it does not have dual exhaust. I was under the impression that dual exhaust was standard on the LS. Is this correct? Thanks
