    Head gasket change

    My mark with 237,000 miles on it has begun to show possible signs of a blown head gasket. I can smell,and see oil in the coolant,the number 2 plug keeps goin out,and ive replaced it twice in 4 months,and it ran hot on me and cut off on the way home from work the other night. It did crank and run...

    Fuel pump quit!!

    [B]Alrighty,after a week of painstaking blind diagnosis(blind meaning no shop manual). I gathered that the pink wire with the black tracer was the key. So i was told to run a jumper wire from the VCRM to the battery,and the fuel pump ran. So Now i need a VCRM for a 96 Mark. None of the yards...

    Fuel pump quit!!

    Ok...now i thought this was about a FPDM? How did a VCRM come up and does it have anything to do with what im trying to solve? Sapperfire suggested TPS. Will a TPS thats gone bad,stop the signal to prime and run the fuel pump? Keep in mind,the pump does work. I verified this by connecting it to...

    Fuel pump quit!!

    And...has anyone here ever straight wired a fuel pump from the pigtail plug to work in a pinch,and is it going to affect anything else? Is it do-able without damage to anything else?

    Fuel pump quit!!

    I'm looking for a FPDM. Located in the trunk,passenger side,on the side bracing. Do you have one of those,or any other helpful info as to why the fuel pump isn't running,or getting a signal to run. The pump does work...its just not getting a signal to prime,and then run.

    Fuel pump quit!!

    The fuel inertia switch was not tripped. I did see a module on the passenger side mounted on the brace in the trunk near where the deck lid hinges are. This was a two plug module,but i didn't see any of the color coded wires described,coming from the module. So am i looking in the right place or...

    Fuel pump quit!!

    [BOk,i turned the key on. No prime,no noise. I would've heard it...i still have the assembly out of the tank. The old pump does work...i hooked it directly to the battery for a second and it ran. So im thinking that no power is getting to the pump. What relays,and or fuses am i looking for under...

    Fuel pump quit!!

    Ok,i have new developments in the fuel pump saga! First off the new pump autozne part # E2386,isnt the same. The pump is a little smaller round,and it has two separate prongs as opposed to the two prong single plug on the old pump. Now they did list a part # E2326 crossed referenced to the same...

    Fuel pump quit!!

    Ok,i found the post. And from what it was saying Ford part # 3S4Z-9H307-BC,which fits the Focus SVT will work in the mark,and its only $131 bucks. And from what they were saying in the post,it will work on a Gen 1 mark.

    Fuel pump quit!!

    Today the fuel pump on my 96 mark went out. I priced a new one and the quoted me $301. Now,i remember running across a post about the same or another pump,that fit a different model of Ford product that also would work on the mark 8,but it cost less. Can anyone tell me what kind of car,or cars...

    Head gasket?!?! Ugh!!!!

    Thanks guys! You know because i was so freaked when all of this happened,and thought i'd done major damage...i did forget to get the air out of the system. I did find out why i had the misfire...The sparkplug wire was arching off of the head. Funny how i just put those wires on with new plugs...

    Head gasket?!?! Ugh!!!!

    Well,after 228,000 miles i think im having my first major issue with my 96 mark. On the way to work a couple of days ago it ran alittle warm...up near the top of the normal range. Turned out the side tank on the radiator broke open and had a matchbox size hole by the outlet. Well i replaced the...

    A couple of problems!!!!

    The plugs and wires are 6 months old. I was using premium fuel. The misfire is in cylinder 2. Does anyone know off hand what the fuel pressure should be,and I assume that the reading is taken at the fitting on the fuel rail.
