I’m wondering if someone here can help with an ongoing issue I’ve been having with my 94 Mark8. Back ground – 104K and I had the car converted to coil springs about a year ago and had the upper arms, bushing, rear shocks, etc done about 4 months later. Prior to the conversion I had done the...

My trunk release button has been flaky for a few years. For a while it always clicked and just wouldn't always open the trunk. It appears to be not fully releasing or was stuck. In about the last 6 months it doesn't work at all. No click or anything? Also, the button on my keyless entry...

So I converted my air ride to coil springs last April. I initially felt improvement and while it wasn't perfect I thought it would soften up more. Well, I'm really unhappy with the ride. When I hit a patch of bumps it really can be harsh, clunking etc. The suspension doesn't feel like it's...

I love my 94 Mark8 but the rubber around the rear window is really showing it's age. It's not sitting smooth and flush anymore. It's hard to describe but it looks like it's simply dried out and has bubbled up. Also the rubber around the windshield is torn in one spot and partially hanging...

I am contemplating installing the coil spring conversion kit on my 1994 Mark. I have a question regarding the stock air struts and when it's time to replace. Do most people replace when they simply leak or generate the "check air ride?" In the last few years I've had several suspension parts...

For quite some time now my battery light flickers on and off. It's very random with no real pattern. I initially had someone look at when I was having some other repair work done and he said it was a loose cable and tried to fix it by tightening the cable (somehow??). That didn't fix it. I...

I have a 94 Mark8 with 96K. Front end has been clunking a lot lately - mostly on the left side. I brought to my mechanic and I’m pretty sure we’re at least gonna do the left upper control arm and stabilizers. I did the right upper arm a couple of years ago. We also talked about struts and it...

I will be replacing my O2 sensors soon. I've ben lookin online and ther's so many different varieties in models and price. Some are simply replacement w/o connectors versus OEM with. The ones w/o connectors can be as cheap as $40 and with are up top $100. I'm wondering if I buy the heaper...

Hello, I recently posted the message below and realized it should have gone here in the exhuast forum. I've got 95K and getting check engine codes related to O2 sensors. Just looking for a quick run down on how to replace them, where they are located etc. My tech manual says "threaded into...

I recently purchased an innova tester to read the check engione codes onmy 1994 Mark 8. I posted about it a while back and finally have them retrieved and want to get advice. A little background first. I get the check engine code only on the highway or if I really wind the car out and get the...

I have 1994 Mark 8 and get the check engine light only on the highway. Usually happens when I get on the car. Sometimes the light stays for a few minutes and sometimes for a long time. I had it checked back in May and it threw 3 codes. I don't have them at the moment but the mechanic I had...

I have a 1994 Mark VIII. I noticed a busted part yesterday and it needs replacing. It's where you install the air filter. It's the plastic part that attaches to the front of the car, above where the air enters. I has the mass air flow sensor (i think) attached to it and the air filter sits...

My A/C has been out for a while and with summer about here I charged the system yesterday. I also added some dye hopping to find where the leak was. It didn't take long to locate and I didn't even need the dye because the leak as so loud. There is a piece of tubing that is heavily rusted and...

I have a 94 Mark8. I recently noticed that my battery light flickers from time to time. It comes and goes with nt real pattern. To me it seems like something is loose b/c it goes on and off when I drive. Just wondering if anyone has seen this or has any ideas? Battery, terminals? Thanks-

Hello, My left rear shock is blown and I need to replace it. I am having trouble locating the shock mount kit/part numbers. I've looked on www.fordpartsnetwork.com but it seems to be down or has changed to http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?siteid=213787 The page navigation...
