Tell more about the car. Miles on it. How it is driven = city or highway, Brand of gas. What components have been replaced in the ignition and exhaust system.
 
Without knowing more about your car, my wild guess would be to replace the CATS.

#3213 of 3292 2004 seat belt retractor by marsha7

My 2004 CV seat belt has almost stopped retracting, as the springs (or whatever draws it back into the body) are worn out after 100K miles...before I call Ford, does anybody have an idea of what replacement cost is???
 
(BTW, the same thing happened to my Prelude at about 125K, and when I showed the dealer they told me that seatbelts at Honda have a LIFETIME warranty and it was exchanged at no charge...it would be nice if Ford had the same warranty)...

#3215 of 3292 Knocking by merc24

My 01 Grand Marquis Engine is knocking (the oil was really low). Some say its a rod and someone eles suggested that it maybe the oil pump. Does anyone know a way I can tell becuase i'd really hate to go and pay for another motor.

It is probably both. If he oil got that low, it probably damaged all the rod and main journals bearings. To check the oil pump, have a garage put a direct reading gauge on the engine and check the oil pump output pressure. You must have a significant oil leak to lose that much oil. With a rod "knocking", you are looking at least at turning the crankshaft, new bearings and gaskets. Will probably mean removing the engine to do the repairs. Just a guess, but would estimate o/a $2000.00. to repair your engine.

I have a 1993 Mercury Marquis, over 100K and the engine started knocking a few weeks ago. What can it be? What can I do? I need my car. How much to fix?
