#1814 of 3244 93 GM motor ticking only after it warms up by creativecomput Mar 04, 2003 (7:48 pm)
I have a '93 Grand Marquie that runs great, the only problem I have with it is that after it warms up the motor will start ticking if the car is under a heavy load. When the car is still cold you can put it under the same load and it runs fine. Has anyone had this problem, or can give me any advice. Thanks

Creativecomput,   Is this "ticking" accompanied by any sort of bucking sensation. My 94 GM started some mild bucking on hard acceleration when warm at around 60,000 miles. If I remember right, there was a ticking sound, too. Problem was found to be ignition wires. Replacing them solved the problem. At 110,000 miles, I had a similar problem, although it was more prevalent when cold. It was found to be the ignition wires again. Hope this helps.
#1816 of 3244 dinu- 2003 GM Ultimate Edition by cfocfo Mar 04, 2003 (9:05 pm)
I bought a GM-LS Ultimate 2 months ago after taking a similar route to yours. I was interested in the GM-LSE, but never found one. Also checked out the Lincoln Town Car Executive, but I was looking at used 2001 models with low miles for the same $$ as a New GM-Ultimate. For what ever reason, I never shopped the CV-LX, so I can't offer comparisons of the 2.   I believe all 3 are reliable, safe, and a great value now as they are all being discounted because they're not cool and not AWD. But since I'm looking at the interior of the car 95% of the time, I was sold on the Ultimate as I like the interior a lot ! Especially the instramentation panel, steering wheel, and roomy leather seats.   Let me know what you thought of the CV after you drive it. Also, what are the rebates on the 2 ?
#1817 of 3244 Load Pinging "Ticking" by R92688 Mar 09, 2003 (9:18 am)
Creativecomput, Your ticking under load is just pinging from pre-ignition of the fuel in the cylinders. I had the exact same problem in my 95 CV with the engine check lamp ultimately coming on after many months of pinging. Well, it turned out that a Mass Air Sensor located on the air filter housing needed changing. After changing it, the car runs quiet and smooth with all fuel types. I hope this helps.
#1818 of 3244 Pinging by ronslakie Mar 10, 2003 (5:35 am)
Creativecomput - As noted above the likely candidate is the Mass Airflow Sensor. I have read on other forums that there is a simple method to fix this without replacing the sensor. This sensor can be sprayed with electric contact cleaner and will work like new.   Ron

Head rests on 2003 GM too tall block view when backing up. Anyone hear of this?

18 Wheelers use a primitive form of sonar when they back up. They keep coming back til they hear something crunch
#1822 of 3244 Grand Marquis vs Continental by randal5 Mar 11, 2003 (11:31 pm)
I totalled my Seville and I am shopping to replace it with either a GM or a Continental. 98 model year is in my price range. What are some key advantages of the GM over the Continental? I'm leaning toward the Continental but I'd like a reason to spend less money.
#1823 of 3244 Best Reason for the GM = Rear wheel drive by kinley Mar 12, 2003 (10:22 am)
It will keep you out of the ditch. Rather than a discontinued Conti, check out the 2000 Lincoln LS.
