For Sale is My 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis.  I have done most of the work on the vehicle myself.  I'm pretty handy, especially with a Haynes Manual (which I will include) and YouTube. I have replaces the: Intake Manifold, all four shock absorbers, plugs and wires 6mo ago, thermostat, main upper radiator hose, Serpentine belt, alternator, and all the normal maintenance parts due to wear and tear.  This has been my daily driver since I purchased it used in 2007 or so.  I have taken decent mechanical care of it as shown by the 23 MPG's avg. I am currently enjoying. It is now parked waiting for it's next owner.  I have a new job 90 miles round trip from my home and I need better gas mileage.  So this car must go.  Take a look at the pictures and see it is in pretty good shape for an 18 year old car.  The defects are as follows:  broken front left marker light, small puncture in left rear bumper and left rear tail light. anti-lock brakes need work but brakes work fine, needs front ball joint boot, one rooter needs to be replaced (slightly warped, can't tell until hard breaking), A/C needs modulator, leather seats have tears, headliner tears. needs two window motors (front and rear drivers side).  All minor repairs for someone with a little know how.  The A/C modulator is a $70 item but the labor for a mechanic is $600.  The dash has to be partially removed.  I don't want to do this for a car I'm going to sell.  It would take me a day to do it (this included breaks to eat take tv breaks and play with my daughter and dog).  Good luck and feel free to message me with any questions...

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

Thu, 24 Feb 2011

Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.

NHTSA investigating Ford's solution to May 2014 power steering recall

Tue, Apr 7 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating a complaint that Ford's response to a May 2014 recall of the 2008 to 2011 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner doesn't quite go far enough to solve a troubling power-steering problem. Roughly a year ago, Ford recalled nearly a million vehicles after it was found that a problem with the torque sensor's communication with the power steering control module could cut steering assistance for drivers. While manual steering would still be available, the problem was enough to ask drivers to report in to have the PSCM inspected, and if necessary, replaced (along with the torque sensor, or in dramatic cases, the entire steering column). That would only happen, though, if trouble codes were being thrown. If there weren't any problems, dealers were told to simply update the PSCM's software so that any issues between it and the torque sensor would simply throw a visual and audio warning – power steering would still be maintained. The petitioner claimed that following the recall work, he still experienced a problem with the torque sensor. According to NHTSA, a claim was made that Ford didn't go far enough in its solution to the problem, and that "the software update itself may in fact cause further issues with the affected vehicle's power steering, causing it to fail, and ultimately requiring replacement of the torque sensor or entire steering column." The petition was filed in early February and is now officially being looked into by NHTSA.
