    Gen 1 EGR Tube

    OK, thanks for the part number. Yeah, I've got two to buy - that's why I was hoping that F3VY-9D477-A for the 4.6L Town Car would match up. It's significantly cheaper and looks very similar.

    Gen 1 EGR Tube

    Probably been asked before - but I can't seem to find an EGR Tube for the 93's. I've got a DPFE, have a new EGR, and I'm wondering if the 9D tube from the Continentals of similar year will fit? They look very very similar. Any leads on a good replacement if not? I'm fairly certain that...

    No Vent Gen1 (93)

    Thanks, Driller. I somehow knew you'd be the first to respond (like every time). I'll check it out as soon as the freezing fog moves on! We're talking about a vac hose that goes in through the firewall somewhere near the EGR? Should I check my carb can too?

    No Vent Gen1 (93)

    I'm not getting any air out of the vents. I've swapped EATC units even though both show 8888 when I do diag. If it were a Gen2, I'd know where to look next, but winter is coming and I'd rather be able to warm the entire car instead of just defrost. Defrost works. Some heat will come out of the...

    1st Gen Electrical

    Combination bad EEC (ECU? The big silver thing up under the steering)and ground. Found a couple spots around the MF switch that had been cut through with an exacto that's going to make my life hell, but with some spare modules I had kicking around from the old MKVIII, she's running enough to get...

    1st Gen Electrical

    Changed out the EEC with a spare, plugged everything back in, and now the ACC position works normally (although it's saying Check Air Ride, even though I clipped the one wire for the conversion). When I turn the key to the RUN position with a fresh battery, the usual whirring starts, stutters...

    1st Gen Electrical

    First thing I did, and changed to a different battery to be sure. Tried a ground cable as well, to see if it was the battery ground. Grounded to the front cross member forward of the radiator, where the pigtail of the existing ground cable goes. No change. "Deader 'n a fart in a mitt" as the...

    1st Gen Electrical

    Have a 93 that had intermittent issues that finally led to it dying yesterday. Before yesterday, the car would light up all lights (including Traction Control off) and not start, turn the key back, give it a few minutes and it would act normally. Now, it won't start at all, with a fresh battery...

    Is Premium Unleaded Necessary?

    Hello. I tried to use lower grade fuel in my '93. The engine threw the mother of all hissy fits about that. It took 3 tanks, from full to dry until it behaved normally again. I am far from an expert, but this was my experience. Chris

    power locks

    Evenin all. My current worry is about the power locks on my '93 mark VIII. When i push the button on the keyring remote, or the button in the car, the drivers side only makes a buzzing sound.But the passenger side will open. I am thinking i may just re-key the whole car as well. any suggestions?

    High Idle and Shifting Problems

    Tried the seafoam. All seemed to be going well, but as I burned off some of it during the idle after pouring in, the rpm's climbed back up to 1k+. I tried using some UV dye around all the vacuum joints but didn't notice any dye getting sucked into the engine, might have to try the brake cleaner...

    High Idle and Shifting Problems

    Try seafoam first then? IAC's a pain to do too.

    High Idle and Shifting Problems

    Just to kill everyone's first response, I replaced the TPS. Twice (I dropped the first one, bought a second just in case that was it). The car starts fine, and idles up high for a few seconds then drops down to about 1100 RPM. When I step on the gas, it takes almost a complete minute to come...
