#101 of 120 95 LTC intermittent no start by ashtabulaoh Sep 02, 2009 (3:54 pm)
Just posting this in case someone else has the same problem. Recently had intermittent no start when hot. (Also occasionally stall at a light) If the car had been running for a while then shut off, and tried to restart after 10-30 minutes or so, it would crank and crank but no start. After five minutes or so of waiting, it would start. (just about enough time to find someone to come get me and call the wrecker) I spent all summer with this problem until I got under the hood when it wouldn't go. I tapped on the box on left side inner fender, and it immediately started. Replaced the "EEC Control Relay" (price: $11.00 ) and it has started for the last month with not a hiccup. It is a simple to replace plug. Took about 30 seconds to do. Just open the plastic box, pull the plug out and replace it. That simple. Just like a fuse. This problem seriously drove me nuts for literally three months! And I was told by at least 2 mechanics that I should have started by replacing the fuel pump! Glad I didn't listen, cuz now my silver bullet is running like it looks. Damn good. Hope I can save someone a lot of headache. Replies to this message: euphonium (Sep 02, 2009 7:35 pm)

Replying to: hde (Sep 11, 2009 4:38 am) The regulator uses a cable and pulley system, and they are notorious for popping off the drum. Once they do, they have to be replaced. The regulators cost about $30, but are a PITA to replace. Our 95 Grand Marquis has had 3 replaced so far, I just haven't brought myself up to tearing the fourth door apart yet since it is still working. I replaced them all myself, you have to remove the panel and all the trim around the glass, punch out the rivet pins, drill out the rivets, pull the glass out, remove the motor, and then the regulator. Replacement is using 1/4-20 x 3/4" bolts. If you have ever thought about tinting the glass, this would also be the best time to do them. Replies to this message: hde (Sep 13, 2009 4:37 pm)
#105 of 120 95'Towncar fast idle issues by unclewip Sep 11, 2009 (7:49 am)
For the past year I've been" braking and gasing" until my vehicle warms up, and then it runs fine. I have replaced the temperature sensor, throttle positioning sensor, and just yesterday I replaced the Idle Air Control, that the dealer recommended. Is there something else that controls the fast idle/choke, that I haven't tried to get into ?....Sounds simple, however it is frustrating, and embarrasing to sit at a light next to a new Mustang, tacking up the cold Towncar, to challenge a run...Any ideas out there???

#107 of 120 Parking Assist Module Part Numbers? by tempest2 Oct 01, 2009 (11:54 pm)
#108 of 120 Parking Assist Module Part Numbers? by tempest2 Oct 02, 2009 (12:07 am)
Hi Everyone,   I'm having a debate with my Ford Lincoln dealer on a Parking Assist Module which I order to correct a problem stated in Ford TSB 06-25-13. The part which I order was 3W1Z-15K886-AC that is stated in the TSB. When I received the part the Ford shipping box label stated 3W1Z-15K886-AC ..BUT.. the white part number sticker on the part itself stated 3W1T-15T850-AL. My original module in the car the Ford part number sticker states 3W1T-15T850-AJ. Is the part I received the same as the my original or is it the upgrade to correct the problem? I have not installed it as of yet.   Any help would be most appreciated.   Thank you. Replies to this message: acdii (Oct 02, 2009 5:48 am) tempest2 (Oct 02, 2009 10:47 am)

Replying to: tempest2 (Oct 02, 2009 12:07 am) Well L does come after J, and since this is the same part with fixes, it would make sense that the part numbers closely match. My guess is the part number on the box is used for the TSB so the installer knows that he has the correct part, and the part number on the actual part is so the factory doesn't need a complete overhaul of the numbering system for that one part. It is much easier to change one letter of a part for the inventory and line, than to replace it with a completely different part number. Replies to this message: tempest2 (Oct 02, 2009 10:47 am)

Replying to: acdii (Oct 02, 2009 5:48 am) Thank you acdii for the explanation. Very much appreciate the info and it does match up to what the dealer stated.   I always though that the box number would be the same as the part number in the box. I had the thought that the part was a NOS part in a updated box.   Once the rain stops here I will install it.   Thanks again acdii
