I lost all the power locks in my van.... Switched the driver's door switch for one from a wrecker.... Never had the issue again. Gm ties everything together so that when you lose one thing, you lose it all... May not be the solution to your problem, but I thought I'd mention it.... Maybe it'll help :) I have a few other ideas where you may want to look as well, if this doesn't help.... Best of luck figuring it all out man.

matts6887 commented on 01 Jul 2010

Well that's ok bah; at least ya tried buddy; yea unfortunately sometimes gm, etc; "tie" other things in with something else to try and make it more simplified; but in the end sometimes that just compounds the problem(s) even further as far as the fuses and relays go, etc....good video man :)

gutmaster27 commented on 30 Jun 2010

hey thanks man, i checked the fuses under the hood and there was no fuse there at all but there was one in the spare beside it so i swtiched it so my horn is working now but my door locks and trunk realse still dosent but thanks for the vidoeo

That's a good demonstration of the TV bushing...I just got a '91 Grand Marquis which has the plastic bushing but the TV cable is still attached...I've ordered several of the brass bushings to do this car plus my Lincoln and other Grand Marquis.

that starter sounds pretty normal to me. My friend's 1993 F-150 sounds exactly like that. But even with over half a million kilometres on it, it's still reliable as ever. All your Grand Marquis's will definately make it to a million miles with the maintanence you do on them... and the fact that cars don't rust away very quickly down south lol [my friend isn't sure exactly how many kilometres his truck has on it, when it gets to 400,000km, it keeps resetting back to 300,000 for some reason]

wduane2807 commented on 02 Aug 2010

@retrochad Yeah I will start with the fuel filter. I have a 90 F-150 with a 4.9 EFI and I had problems with the EGR. It had plenty of power but it idled real rough and sometimes stalled while idling like at intersections when I am stopped. I took the whole EGR off from my '88, the truck I am getting ready to scrap in my video, and put it on there and the stalling stopped but there's still a rough idle when the engine is warm especially when the A/C is on. I am thinking oxygen sensors.

WhoSaidTyler commented on 25 Jul 2010

@retrochad It looks like sometime during MY 1990 was the changeover, so some '90s may have them, certain lines in 91 had them and all Fords had them '92 and up. Your truck is supposed to have the small starter, but it and the old one interchange even though the wiring is slightly different. Plus, the smaller version is about $40 more expensive. Side by side there's no mistaking them. Older starter is huge and heavy, newer is much smaller and lighter.

wduane2807 commented on 28 Jul 2010

Hey Chad I have a 1992 Ford F-150 with a 4.9 6 cyl fuel injected and it takes some extra cranking to get it started sometimes too and then driving down the road the engine seems like it's cutting in and out but it will accelerate just fine and idles good. If you find out why that car is hard to start let me know because my truck could have the same problem. As soon as I get a new camera I will make a video of that truck.

retrochad commented on 02 Aug 2010

@wduane2807 I wonder if it may be the fuel filter...on my 92 Ford pickup it sometimes hesitates while accelerating. There is also a potential problem with the EGR valves on these engines which can make the fuel mixture too lean and cause a similar problem...search google for ford 4.9 liter egr restrictor plate. I did the test on mine and I don't think the EGR is the problem but so will start with the fuel filter.

WhoSaidTyler commented on 25 Jul 2010

no no..there's nothing wrong with the starter or the engine. That's the later gear-reduction starter that Ford began using halfway through 1991. It's better starter in every respect compared to the old direct-drive starter your other vehicles have. Lighter, smaller, faster, lol. It's called a PMGR starter-Permanent Magnet Gear Reduction. If you are curious take a look underneath at it one day.

THEtechknight commented on 25 Jul 2010

if it takes a long time, and it sounds like its weak on compression, it might be weak on compression which could be your starting issue as well. might want to run a compression test to be sure, never know... its probably fine though. those old fords lasted and lasted. if taken care of.... I have a 98 taurus with 145k on it, tranny still hummin along awsome.

retrochad commented on 25 Jul 2010

@WhoSaidTyler Thanks a lot for the info Tyler, that's good to know! However on the 1992 Ford pickup with 300-inline 6, the starter still sounds more like the old Ford starters. The pickup now has a replacement starter on it but even the original still had the "old" sound. My old 1991 Grand Marquis must have had the old-type starter too.

fngonuts commented on 24 Jan 2012

@panthermike if you read the directions on the bottle..it says to use only so much in your engine.. not the whole bottle..like i did once..haa..4cyl nova/toyota corrolla.. it was way to thick..couldnt start the car in the winter..hardley !. its good stuff if its used correctly. i use the synthetic now.. i like it.

marchingwildcatsnake commented on 26 Jul 2010

yea put some lucas in it iv used it on a eagle talon that had a rod knocking we put the lucas in there and it made the knock go away and the engine lasted another 6 months before it threw the rod and we ran the crap out if it after that and it still lasted it will make that noise go away tho

simplicityford commented on 25 Jul 2010

That starter sounds exactlylike mine on my 1990 Crown Victoria. I don't think it's a problem either due to the fact that I bought it off a 91 year old lady who only put 53k miles on it, so I don't think its anything to worry about

VICNASTY1989 commented on 30 Jul 2010

I also just bought one these, I have no overdrive over 45 miles per hour (it wont shift into 3rd in OD), you might want to shift into regular drive if you are having problems shifting- it might be the overdrive

retrochad commented on 26 Jul 2010

@bimjales That's a very good idea...pretty much everything I have is covered in the dust which gets kicked up by the wind here. I actually don't have a pressure washer but will try to get one.

retrochad commented on 25 Jul 2010

@simplicityford Thanks for the information...I wonder if maybe your Crown Vic had a new replacement starter that was the new type...on my 1990 Grand Marquis it still has the "old" sound to it.

The Carter Hour commented on 17 Oct 2010

Starter is Normal, My 1991 MGM sounded the same way. I would suggest Mobil 1 with Lucas Synthetic Oil Stabilizer. Also Clean your Throttle Body. Check out my Video Response.

panthermike commented on 13 Nov 2010

retrochad, I don't know about that Lucas "Synthetic Stabilizer", but don't use the regular Lucas stuff! It's just snake oil and it's thicker than 140 weight gear oil.

J S commented on 07 Jan 2011

Hey Retrochad, about the starter sound. I have a 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis Colony Park, and the starter sounds exactly like yours. Thats how they sound.

Hot Rod Lincoln???
