1992 Ford Crown Victoria LX from North America - Comments

Celluloid went last year, when you turned the key it didn't crank at all - fixed.

Fuel pump was replaced 3 years ago and now it can be very loud (normal on most Crown Victoria's when the fuel pump is replaced)

A/C recharged last year.

At one point in time, the car wouldn't start unless you pushed the gas petal all the way to the floor - fixed.

Blue smoke coming out of the tail-pipe: needed new valve seals.

Electric Driver side door lock does not work at all.

Little light that illuminates behind the radio frequency lights very rarely.

This is got to be the best car that Ford has ever built. It is very comfortable and very very quiet for a 1992. It's had just a few major problems and now it runs like brand new. My Crown Vic is also garage kept so it's in a really good condition. One portion of the left tail light just went and I just replaced it, but for those tail lights to last 11 years is really really good. Acceleration is excellent. But you got to check the oil at least once every two weeks because since the car is old it tends to burn oil sometimes.

This car really moves. The fun part about this car is everyone thinks it's a cop car. It is very reliable and I would definitly by another Crown Victoria. But as of now, the 1992 is running great and I'll probably get another 5 years out of it.

I believe this is a very good review. I also own a 92 Ford Crown Vic, and I have experienced some problems very similar to the ones you have experienced. Yes, I agree it is a very wonderful car and very luxurious! Unfortunatly, I am planning to sell it though. I believe the transmission is starting to fail!

Just curious, why do you think your transmission is having problems? What symptoms are you experiencing? I'm purchasing a '92 for some long highway miles and the dealer is going to fix a rumble noise we heard on the test drive. The car vibrates a bit when downshifting in low gears, or when going into overdrive on the highway. You can also email me at marcnodden@hotmail.com.

Thanks!

I just bought a 92 Crown Vic, and I absolutely love it. It had just under 150,000 miles, but it doesn't have any mechanical problems that I can find. I bought it at a police auction, and they said it smoked a little when first cranked, but I went to my local auto parts store and purchased a can of Restore, 8cyl. for it. The smoking is now gone and the car runs smooth. There were also some vibrations when you got the car up to around 70-75mph, but I checked the rear tires and the passenger side had 14psi!! Fixed that problem too. But the car is great, couldn't ask for more space. Give the Restore a try and see if it helps with the smoking. Just add it to your oil right when you buy it, and then add it at each oil change to keep it from coming back.

I really enjoyed reading comments about similar problems I am having with my vehicle. I bought my Crown Vic at 125k and it ran great. Recently though, my transmission started giving out and now the reverse does not work at all. Luckily there are plenty of these vehicles everywhere so a replacement is very cheap.

I own a 92 crown victoria LX as well and I love the car, recently I encountered a few leaks such as power steering seal, extension housing seal and it was very cheap to repair. The car runs solid and picks up very well with speed, its at 115,000 miles. the egr valve shows signs of being clogged at 100,000 miles. I considered using a k&n air filter it will benefit it better. just keep up with oil changes and and everything else, this car can really make a statement! any questions email me at:

I'm amazed that Restore stuff really works.

I thought it was a con.

Does it last long?
