Hey all, I have a couple of issues with my Mercury GM, 94 V8 4.8 Liter. At about 75k miles I started to get the engine knocks, I took it into the shop, and they told me it was the EGR valves. They cleaned the EGR valves and replaced a couple of things and returned the car. 2 Days later the knocks came back. Does anyone know any possible issues here that may be re causing the knocking, or did the shop just do a poor job with the repairs? My second question, I was recently rear ended, and was deemed not at fault. The car already has some other damages from a drunk driver who struck the car while parked. Now I'm debating whether it's worth it to replace the bumper. Her insurance cut me a check for the bumper, so it's my choice. The bumper damage is paint damage and one large crack on the right side that makes it somewhat flimsy. Any advice? Thanks everyone. Char

| Only thing I can tell you about the EGR valve is that I had a mustang that the valve knocked on no matter how many I put in. Wouldn't worry if your sure it's not piston knock or lifters. Take the doe. Book value on a 94 merc with previous damage will be in the "beater" catagory. Only offer on my 01 crown after 2 weeks in the paper was $4600.00. So I kept it. | |

Replying to: charthepirate (Sep 20, 2005 9:32 am) As for the engine knocks, it may be that the mass air sensor needs replacing, however, if you are not losing acceleration power try a tankful of Premium gas. If it still knocks on Premium, it isn't the quality of fuel, but something else.

My 94 Grand Marquis with 118,000 miles is only worth about $1,500 tops, and everything works on it, and it runs great. Engine knock on a car that old could be anything, since you don't know the maintenance done in the past. It is 12 years old now. |

Dear Forum Members, I am trying to figure out how the lights work on a 1992 Ford Crown Vic and I appreciate any owner/knowledgeable person to help me. It is my understanding that there is no daytime running light on a 1992 Ford CV for US market. Also, it is possible to turn on the headlamp (low or high beams) with the contact in the on position, however, the park lights will not come on with the contact in the on position. Am I correct? I appreciate any help, Regards, Eric
