Year and engine size ?

Do the cooling fans work ?

Hey, I do! I had a problem with the cam position sensor on my 97 T-bird two years ago. The symptoms were weird, like a bad transmission acting up, but it wasn't the trans. Anyway, the CPS is located behind the power steering fluid reservoir on the right side (when standing in front of the car with the hood open.) The CPS sticks into the top of the head. It was relatively easy to replace: one bolt holds it in place. Take that out, reattach the electrode, and you're back in business. Good luck!

ITS ON THE TOP FRONT COVER OF THE ENGINE

This may be your problem.


FORD: 1994-96 THUNDERBIRD LINCOLN-MERCURY: 1994-96 COUGAR ISSUE: Steering efforts at low speeds may intermittently increase to the heavier for highway setting on some vehicles. This is due to electrical "noise" from the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) being picked up by the Electronic Variable Orifice (EVO) module. The EVO module then interprets this as an increase in vehicle speed and reduces the steering assistance to the heavier for highway level.
ACTION: Replace the EVO module with a new module that has improved filtering for electrical noise. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE Replace EVO module (F6SZ-3F712-BB). Locations are as follows:

• On 1994-95 vehicles, the EVO module is located under the package tray in the trunk.
• On 1996 vehicles, the EVO is located under the heater blower case on the passenger side.

Refer to Section 11-02 of the appropriate year Thunderbird/Cougar Service Manual for additional diagnosis and repair information.
