I am a newbie to this site, have a couple of questions. My son has a 2000 Cat, he has been getting the following trouble codes, 0420 and 0430. We cannot find a service manual for this year model car. Are these the codes for the 02 sensors, banks 1 and 2? Where can I get a Haynes or Chiltons manual for this car. Thanx, Lmoreno3 |

| installed new coil new command module and new computer box. car isn't getting spark or fuel to injector. fuel pump is working. Also new battery. Car has been sitting for about 6 months. only has 78,000 actual miles also checked all fuses one 5 amp fuse has now power at all. All the rest are fine. Car would start and ran rough then shut down. Let it set for a few min. and restarted. would die out on acceleration Now won't start at all | |

Replying to: lmoreno3 (May 27, 2008 5:06 am) On my 1999 Cougar, the error referring to lean banks (from PCM) are P0171 (bank 1), P0174 (bank 2). Also, P1131 indicates that the ECM detected lean limit on bank 1

1999 Mercury Cougar, V6, Auto: We found a disconnected rubber hose (ca. 1/3 in = 8 mm diameter). It has a 90 degree plastic elbow and plastic mounting slot on the loose end. The fixed end ends up in the transmission housing on the top, right under the battery bracket. When blowing into the hose, trans fluid comes out of the trans dip stick. We already spent hours trying to find where that hose connects. Can someone help? I have a few pics (will try to upload if possible) of the hose. Need urgent answer (intake, battery, carb, etc are currently all off - can't use the car). Thanks.
