1997 Mercury Villager LX review from North America
"A super buy!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had the water pump replaced at 75,000.
The air conditioning compressor was replaced at 200,000.
The engine would misfire when warmed up. My mechanic tried many different parts of the ignition system. The change out of the distributor repaired the problem. It seems that the photo sensor, in the distributor had caused the problem. The amount of change out was $250.00.
