1988 Ford Crown Victoria LX review from North America
"I love this car, Really wonderful car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My next door left the car sitting on the lot for months. I asked next door people what wrong with the car? They say need new motor which it won't crank. They say I can have it for $50.00. I went ahead brought it.
I had the car battery jumped and I notice that the air pump was frozen I thought it could make the engine won't turn. I cut the belt for the air conditioning and the air pump. I try to start the motor finally turn, but won't fire up. I check the fuse for the fuel pump and replaced it.
Got the motor started and running smooth.
Went for a nice drive and find brake rotor warped.
Replaced brakes and rotors.
Recharged air conditioning with 134A blow cold wonderful.
General comments?
Everything in car works fine.
My wife want CD player in. Put Sony cd player with 1000 watts amp and Sony 12 inches sub woof.
I installed K&N filter cone.
Bosch 4 point spark plugs.
This car drive quick and burn rubber lot.
I really love this car.
I am looking for other car same as this car.
Fuel run around 26 miles per gallon on highway with k&n filter.
