#33 of 75 Re: 1995 and1997 Villager Distributor replacement [efitzgerald] by graham66 Oct 09, 2007 (10:10 am)
Replying to: efitzgerald (Oct 09, 2007 9:51 am) Your comments here make me feel pretty good that the replacement distributor is going to fix the problem, The van is going to end up being my kids vehicle.. it does have over 100,000 miles on it but form other owners I see that these engines will run until the body rusts out. I should be getting the new distributor next week. If this does solve the problem, I will post a very detailed description of all of the steps I took to determine and fix this problem. Hopefully our comments here can save the next person a lot of trouble. I did read another forum that warned me of going to a FORD dealership... Nissan dealership was strongly suggested. If I get away with these repairs only costing me $150 I will be real happy since I see what this could have cost me. If this does not fix the problem, you will see may 95 Mercury Villager parts for sale....Including a new distributor and ignition module. If this solves my problem all I have left is to replace the 2 rear brake lines... and the kid has a real cool 7 passenger family van to call his own. I will let you know as soon as I get the new parts installed. Thanks for sharing the infomation Replies to this message: graham66 (Oct 23, 2007 7:53 am)

Replying to: graham66 (Oct 09, 2007 10:10 am) E, I finally got the new "Rebuilt" distributor, and that solved all of my problems. I found a company on EBAY that sells this rebuild for $105.... with no core charge. I will write up a detailed description of what I did and how I verified the bad distributor, by cooling it with water. I also want to point out that there may be a mistake in the Haynes Manual around the resistance measurement of the ignition module. I will get all of my facts straight and post it in a new thread. Thanks for participating in this forum.... all of this information led me to a much cheaper fix.
#35 of 75 Mysterious P1148 "closed loop" error code for 99 Quest by genejock24 Oct 23, 2007 (9:14 am)
My CEL has been on for the past 6 months. Immediately after having the timing belt/water pump replaced the CEL came on. The codes returned were for the knock sensor and O2 sensor. I had the knock sensor and both front and rear O2 sensors replaced; the light came back on. Now the code that comes up is P1148 and an online search tells me this a "Closed Loop", but I can't find any more information than that.   Any explanation of what this means (and what it is going to set me back) would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks Replies to this message: efitzgerald (Nov 08, 2007 9:53 am) efitzgerald (Nov 09, 2007 7:46 am)

Replying to: genejock24 (Oct 23, 2007 9:14 am) I have read something from AUTO TAP about this "closed loop". It says that it is a sensor problem. A coolant temp sensor is used when the vehicle first starts up until it gets warm then the 02 sensor (Oxygen) takes over adjusting the fuel/air mixture, this is called a closed loop . Perhaps it may be the coolant temp sensor? hope this helps.

Replying to: nicsun (Jun 05, 2007 5:11 am) I realize this is an old message, but was it dirt debri on your photo eyes on the distributor? I had this very same problem.

Replying to: needs123 (Dec 11, 2007 3:12 pm) Before I would change out the alternator, Get the van running and check the charge voltage out of the alternator. If it is 13-14 volts, the alternator is good. Double check all of the connections at the battery and starter make sure they are clean and tight. Don't rule out a faulty new battery, I just helped a friend with a similar problem, he was going to change out the starter.... ended up his new battery, about a week old had a bad cell and would not keep a charge. If you have access to a different battery its worth a try to swap it out. If this is going dead over night, check to make sure there are no lights staying on, I had a glove box light that would draw a battery dead in 1 day.....   If you do have to get to the alternator, I think My 95 was located behind a plastic cover behind the passenger front tire. from underneath. You will have to jack it up, put it on Jack stands, maybe remove the passenger tire then take the plastic cover off, From what I remember its not to bad to get to once you get under there.
