When I first got the car I noticed there were cracks in the heads and the water pump was bad. The gaskets were also leaking. The motor had to be replaced at a cost of $2000.
A few months later the water pump went again and so did the power steering pump, That cost me $300.
The check engine light is on.
The intake manifold may be bad.
The tire pressure light stays on, and I replaced the tires but every now and then I hear clicking noises coming from the tires.
The biggest problem of all is that the car will run fine, and then just stall out while your driving. Does anybody know why this is? If anyone does know please just write it in the comments why that does happen. I have checked the entire car and I can't find the problem!!!
I really do like this car, just that it costs so much money to keep it going, and being that I have put so much money I just want to enjoy the car.
Could be the IAC, its common on the Grand Marquis/Crown Victoria/Town Car to have this problem. With your foot off the gas the motor will quit running, and you may have to put your foot on the accelerator while starting it to keep the engine running.
If you have already replaced the spark plugs and the spark plug wire, change out all four O2 sensors. The mix is probably off.
I've got 4.6 XR-7, and it ran like crap when I first got it. It stalled at stop signs. Changing those three things will make a difference if not cure the problem. I got more gas mileage, power, less shaking and o'ya, it doesn't stall (;
