#3186 of 3244 Re: Ordering from factory [nvbanker] by euphonium Mar 31, 2008 (8:59 pm)
Replying to: nvbanker (Mar 31, 2008 2:57 pm) Good question. Today I wonder where in the assembly process will they place the Town Car while producing them at St. Thomas, Ontario. After having seen the Continental share the line with Town Cars, it would not be a surprise to see a mix of CV, GM, & TC all on the same line. Perhaps a mix of 20 CV, 10 GM, & 5 TC not necessaryily in that order either due to their computer sequential production system they had in Wixom.   Having taken factory drive away a couple of times since 1950, I'd like to do it one more time, but in Coventry/Birmingham, U.K. Replies to this message: nvbanker (Apr 06, 2008 8:40 am)

TATA may soon move that process to New Dehli. Also, it's a LONG drive home from there.....

Replying to: helmetcam (Apr 20, 2008 12:03 pm) Yes, you should. 2 good reasons.   #1 - the A4OD transmission in that Ford is built like Fort Knox - it's made for livery and police use, and even with neglect, will go 100,000 before needing any work. Properly lubricated, nobody knows how long it will run before breaking down. So there's no reason NOT to use it.   #2 - Your mileage will improve a lot if you use it.

Replying to: lostwrench (Oct 01, 2007 5:39 pm) Yes, the timing belt. When you are a single female who does not know very much about cars, life is very different. So, for the most part, just like Blanche DuBois, I am dependent on the kindness of strangers.   Now, if you want to talk engineering or architecture... that's a different story.
#3191 of 3244 Timing chains replaced on 98 P71 CV... by pigtoria Jul 01, 2008 (10:24 am)
...and everything is hooked back up (all connectors, fuel lines, vacuum lines, etc) and triple checked. Followed Ford shop manual procedure for the work, but now the car won't start. It cranks but won't fire. Vented fuel rails and they are full. The fuel pump is working. I am lost. Is there some kind of "reset" sequence that I don't know about? Could it be the crank sensor? It worked when I took it out and cleaned it, I even checked to make sure it was a good complete circuit before I re-installed it. please advise...
#3193 of 3244 figured it out... by pigtoria Jul 03, 2008 (7:45 am)
Finally ended up chasing all the wires and found the pins for the crank position sensor were pushed out of the big connector at the brake booster. hope this might help someone Replies to this message: euphonium (Jul 03, 2008 9:42 am)

#3195 of 3244 FED UP by knilgnissim Jul 03, 2008 (11:54 am)
I have a white 94 Grand Marquis, the car ran perfect until it started with a light tremble between 35-45 mph.I changed the oil, oil filter, gas filter put new spark plugs nothing helped then i put new spark plug cables, and everything was alot better, but still a light tremble, it goes away when I step on the gas, but its coming back, it almost seems like its burning the cables too quickly, or I dont know maybe something with the transmission, I honestly dont recall when was the last time they changed the trans oil, i know its not as often as it is for the motor oil. dont know, but would like to;cause im FED UP with these mechanics that charged my mom $500 for changing I dont know what the heck. If anybody has any idea or tips Id really appreciate it. thanks   -VIC Replies to this message: ionosphere1 (Jul 03, 2008 12:28 pm) der_wahnsinn (Jul 03, 2008 7:38 pm) euphonium (Jul 04, 2008 9:30 am)
