Replying to: mrlauderdale (Aug 30, 2007 5:56 am) You can save yourself some money next time by just spraying the MAF sensor with either Mass Air Flow sensor cleanor by CRC or if you can't get that any electric contact cleaner will work. I do mine every 30K miles and it works like a charm.   Ron Replies to this message: mrlauderdale (Aug 31, 2007 4:26 am) euphonium (Aug 31, 2007 10:08 am)

Replying to: ronslakie1 (Aug 31, 2007 4:13 am) Hi Ron! when I heard about the MAF Sensors-problems, I googled a lot and found a couple of infos.. including "cleaning" the sensor with electric contact cleaner. I tried that, but my MAF sensor unfortunately seemed really damaged and cleaning unfortunately didn´t help! But thanks for your reply! My next project is the brakes! Any experience with aftermarket-Brake-rotors? Frank Replies to this message: euphonium (Aug 31, 2007 10:08 am)

Replying to: marsha7 (Aug 31, 2007 12:26 pm) Hi Counselor, It is next to your air filter, between the air filter and the intake manifold. Unless you have a lot of miles on the car, it should be OK.   If you attempt to clean it y our self, be extra careful while doing so. If you plan on keeping your CV for many more miles, get a replacement.   Happy Weekend.

75,000 miles, and your description sounds like the little cheap piece of foam that was called, I believe, the "breather element", which was changed every time the air filter was changed...it only cost a dollar at the time, but it sure was filthy/greasy if not changed for a few years...is that it, only now called something hi-tech, to sound more important???...is a new one a dollar???...

Replying to: marsha7 (Sep 04, 2007 12:08 pm) You are getting close, but as Monica said, "No Cigar?"   It's between the air filter container (box) and the intake manifold.   Parts and labor = approximately $100.00 depending on the shop.   The "breather element" that was filthy/greasy may be what I call the Air filter and that should be changed every 30,000. Try a new AF and that may cure your problem. If not, a MAF may be in your future. Good Luck, Euphonium
#3151 of 3244 Torque Converter going out? by idntnvu Sep 07, 2007 (7:38 pm)
I have a '00 Crown Vic Interceptor with 112k miles. I've had the car since January when it had 109k miles on it. As you can tell, I don't drive it a whole lot, but since about May, I've had a miss or jerking in it when accelerating. It has come and gone, but recently it has gotten worse. I've had it to the garage twice and have replaced the plug boots, and only once has the check engine light came on, which was the gas cap. Since, no light, but the car is still missing. My guess is it could be the torque converter going out. Under heavy acceleration it lags and jerks lightly. Under light acceleration it jerks hard, especially when going up a hill. Any other ideas?

Replying to: idntnvu (Sep 07, 2007 7:38 pm) I had similar problems with my 01 Grand Marquis at 94K miles and changed the sparkplugs, which solved the problem. You can get the Bosch double platinum plugs at Walmart for $8.44 for 2 plugs and they are relatively easy to change.   Ron
