    Let Nick decide the color. The Crown Vic is like driving a couch on wheels. Very comfortable

  • @southernfarmtech
    @southernfarmtech Před 2 lety +20

    I have had about 8 Crown Vics and Grand Marquis over the years, and when they get some miles on them, I always either clean or change the MAF, change the idle air control valve, clean or change the EGR valve. These three things typically tend to be the biggest contributors to sputtering, rough running, etc. Of course plugs and wires or coils, depending on what it has. I think maybe 99 or 2000 they changed to coils. Excellent vehicle, a breeze to work on! Great score for the money. You will sell it in no time if you decide to not keep it.

    • @philipthomas6808
      @philipthomas6808 Před 2 lety +1

      No, they went to coil on plugs in 98... 92-97 had the coil packs with ignition wires.

    Police Package aero Vic with working AC for $1100 bucks…wow that’s a deal. You should clean it up, sort it out mechanically and keep it all stock/original…those are hard to find. Check your fuel pressure and change the fuel filter…nice score Randy.

    Nice car. One thing I do want to mention: The blowby test you did was inaccurate. Unless you plug off all other PCV hoses, the blowby gases are going to get sucked into the intake via vacuum. You'll see a big difference if you plug off the PCV hoses and do the test again. Even healthy engines will have some very light steam pushing out, but should be no pulsing pressure behind it.
