#944 of 3244 electric windows by sergeis Jun 14, 2001 (6:34 am)
Obviously those garage guys are not familiar with electronics. I am sure anyone familiar with electronic circuit and basic knowledge in electronics could pinpoit your problem easily. Does the same circuit drive all windows? Does it fail at the moment when you actually move one of the windows? Is it always the same window? Is it constant voltage or constant current regulator? Obviously the regulator is OK, and it burns because of something else, it might be abusive load (motor takes too much current, something wrong with it, or there is an occasional shortcircuit in wires, though the circuit must have electronic protection for that), or the power which comes to the circuit is not normal. If it is under computer control (most probable), then the computer program itself may abuse it by continuing powering window while it has reached the limit. Anyway, the circuit is not the problem. It is like keeping replacing flat tire while your garage floor is full of loose nails.

#947 of 3244 Window Regulator by 427435 Jun 14, 2001 (4:41 pm)
Sergeis, you may know electronics but not Ford's terminology for power window components. The device that failed in my power window, that Ford called a "Regulator", wasn't electrical. The part was a drum with a steel cable wrapped around it and the cable was kinked and not tracking on the drum. Yes, it was driven by an electric motor but the motor wasn't the problem. When I told the partsman what I needed, he said, "Oh yes, you need a regulator assembly." He left me with the impression that he had seen this problem before.

I see. It is just that I still had no problems with GM '95, didn't need to learn Ford's terminology. Hope to keep it this way.
#949 of 3244 Crown Vic Blackhawk by bjudd Jun 16, 2001 (12:15 pm)
Does anyone know if there is any truth to the article in Motortrend.com about a souped-up Crown Vic named the Blackhawk? Will it be built or will we have to wait for the Marauder?
#950 of 3244 92 Crown Vic 4.6L stumbling and bucking under light throttle. by neanderbob Jun 17, 2001 (10:48 am)
Hello all! I need some help. I've got a 92 Vic with the 4.6L, 235,000 kilmetres on it. I love it to pieces but lately it's become almost undriveable. It bucks, bangs, lurches, and shudders under light throttle. To get past this point you have to floor it for a downshift. I can't even tell if it's the engine or transmission doing this. Full throttle is great. It seems to be worse when its hot. It acts the same in "3", and overdrive. Recently ALL fluids and filters have been changed but the problem didn't start for a few months afterwards. Also I would like to know what fuel is recommended and if it can tolerate an ethanol blend (having trouble getting an owners manual). Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks for your time.
#951 of 3244 Stumbling Crown Vic by 427435 Jun 17, 2001 (3:11 pm)
Neanderbob: Is check engine light on? If so, take it somewhere where they can do a computor scan.   If it stumbles at idle but not full throttle, some of the possiblities include: --A vacuum leak. --A bad air flow sensor --A bad throttle position sensor   If you haven't changed plugs and wires, it might be worth changing them, but, if they were bad, it shouldn't run well at full throttle either.   Good Luck.

#952 of 3244 Thinking of buying 1997 GM GS by morton Jun 17, 2001 (7:00 pm)
Hello,    I am thinking of buying a 1997 GM GS model from a family friend. It has 30K miles. The interior and exterior are excellent. This will be a family car. I have two questions.   #1 Is $11,500 a good price?   #2 How long is the original warranty in effect. Is the drive train still covered?                          Thank You                               PM
#953 of 3244 Response to 427435 ref: Stumbling Vic by neanderbob Jun 18, 2001 (7:14 am)
Thanks for the ideas. I'll replace the plugs and wires first as the check engine light does not come on. Maybe run some fuel injector cleaner through it. If still no-go it's off to the dealer I guess.
