Ahoy hoy! One of my Marks(97) cranks over but won't turn on. Engine light came on which the scan tool revealed, U1201 - SCP(J1850) Missing or Invalid Data for Air Conditioning Clutch. Looking up code U1201 & J1850 led to this helpful post about the A/C Clutch, I wasn't aware low refrigerant...

Use the Keyless Doorcode Entry. The door code can be found on the trunk hinge/arm, passenger side. Completing the door code once will open the driver side door. To open both doors, complete the code twice and put in the first 3 digits for a 3rd time, both doors will open. There's also a code...

Welcome aboard! Great looking 1st Gen! There's another member here with a real nice Willow Green as well. https://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/forum/threads/wheels-that-fit-mark-viiis.88714/#post-2037282302 Since parts are scarce, the one from Ebay with the peeling chrome might have to suffice...

Other than looking at your local junkyards like Pick n Pull or U-Pull It, your best bet would be to look online like ebay or car-part.com for the steering column. I remember there being talk that the column was interchangable with another one of Ford's vehicles, maybe Continental, but can't say...

I have the Arnott kit on one of my Marks. I ordered mine through RockAuto for $400 in 2019 and it still rides well today. My biggest fear with converting was that it would have the never ending bounce I see some cars with, but the springs are beefy which makes the ride stable and feels just...

I've attached some PDFs from the CD manual I have. Hopefully it has the information you're looking for as it is quite dated.

I can't say for certain what caused both to fail at the same time but the usual consensus is that over tightening the bushings can cause the rubber to flare and lose its effectiveness. That's on top of the fact that the aftermarket bushing sleeves are made differently than the OE design and are...

The ball joints alone could be done but you'd have to buy or rent a Ball Joint Press Set to get them out. One of the local auto parts stores like Autozone should have one available. Be sure to have jackstands available so you can use your jack under the LCA as needed for the sway bar link and...

Westar used to be the main company replacing the OE air springs, but they only have the rear springs and dryer/compressor units available everywhere I looked. Suncore Industries seems be the only company offering front/rear air springs and valve solenoids...

I had a couple air suspension problems myself on several Marks that I never got to the bottom of and ultimately converted them. Looking back, I think the problem had to do with the air relay that's behind the passenger headlight and mounted on the air compressor mounting bracket. My latest...

Check the connector ends to the blower motor and blower speed control, they're just behind the glove compartment. Every Mark that I've owned(5 so far) ends up with this same issue where the connectors to the blower speed control are partially melted, not so much on the blower end. How to...

I take it you mean positive displacement superchargers because B heads will work with any centrifugal supercharger or turbo kit. This supercharger you linked to can be used with the B heads, it's advertised for the 96-98 Cobra which uses the same heads as the Mark. However, it isn't ideal...

Mr. Not that hard, it also is not that hard to look at the dates of these topics you've been responding to as they're mostly over 10 years old with some exceeding 15 years. That might not be helpful because you're pushing current topics that people could use today's information from in favor of...

You move the sensor down so that the system can think the sensors are stretched beyond "normal" and it'll deflate to "go back to normal". If you move the sensor up the system will think the car is slammed and jack up the Mark by inflating the bags. Terrible ride quality like this! Oof! The...
