Replying to: knilgnissim (Jul 03, 2008 11:54 am) I Second the suggestion to change the tranny fluid, filter, & remember to drain the torque converter. Mercon V is the most expensive, but it lasts longer.
#3199 of 3244 1998 Grand Marquis Rough Idle by jcro Sep 02, 2008 (5:04 pm)
My wife and I recently inherited this car from her parents. It ran great until a couple weeks ago when it had a rough idle. It only lasted for one trip in town and ran fine the next day. A couple days ago it began to idle rough again. The check engine light came on and it soon had a strong sulfur type smell. I'm not at all familiar with this car and I'm wondering if there is something fairly obvious I should be looking for. Any ideas? Thanks for any information.

#3202 of 3244 Groaning noise from brakes by joe3716 Oct 01, 2008 (1:10 pm)
99 GM-LS with 94K. Own since new. Every time the brakes are applied, a groaning or "swooshing" noise comes from the brake pedal under the dash. Groan is louder when brakes are warm. Pedal also has a pulsating feel (with the groaning) with harder braking. At red lights stops, car would start to creep and require to push brake pedal harder to stop the creeping.   What is causing the groaning or swooshing noise, the slow creeping, and the pulsating feel of the brake pedal? Air in system? Booster push rod too short? Booster leak? Replies to this message: nvbanker (Oct 02, 2008 9:23 am)

Replying to: joe3716 (Oct 01, 2008 1:10 pm) the noise sounds like the boot is rubbing on something. The rest of the symptoms sound like your master cylinder may be going soft.
#3204 of 3244 2001 MGM Engine Elec. Problem 4.6 Engine by rod73 Oct 03, 2008 (7:16 am)
Engine stops while driving - No warning, no check engine light. Will crank, but not start immediately, but will after about 30 seconds, and runs "normally". Garage found fuel pump with high amp draw. Replaced pump and filter. No fault codes present. Engine quit while driving in traffic (moving 70 MPH) and saw eng. temp light flash - no other cluster lights seen. Had driven about 400 miles continuously prior to event. Today, engine stopped as I started to accelerate to merge into traffic. As I let up on gas the engine came back and ran normally for rest of 12 mile trip. Anybody else had same problem?. I am soon to leave on a 1000 mile trip and need to solve this safety problem before I go . Any ideas on problem cause?

Replying to: rod73 (Oct 03, 2008 7:16 am) i had similar stalling problems with my 99 GM LS. had a new fuel pump at a dealer and stalling continued on and off till i had the car towed in and had the "Idle Air Control Valve"replaced.   Check this out and hope the control valve is the problem. Good luck. Replies to this message: rod73 (Oct 03, 2008 5:46 pm) nvbanker (Oct 13, 2008 5:39 pm)

Replying to: joe3716 (Oct 03, 2008 3:04 pm) Joe - Thanks will do. My concern is that 1; no fault codes come up; 2 It usually happens at highway speeds, and 3, It will not restart for about 30 seconds, then starts and runs normally. I was half expecting some comments relating to the computer.   Rod 73 Replies to this message: nvbanker (Oct 13, 2008 5:39 pm)

Replying to: rod73 (Oct 03, 2008 5:46 pm) A bad fuel pump will usually not turn on a check engine light or throw a code. And they're famous for failing intermittantly.
