1998 crown victoria transmisson( over drive)

The light seems to be working fine. If you want to fix the problem that caused the light to come, simply go to any AUTOZONE and they will read the computer codes(s) for you. I feel safe to say however, if this is as much as you know about the issue, knowing the codes and what they mean probably won't help you fix the car. You will need a friend who knows what he is doing or a mechanic to show you what to do.

check/replace your spark plugs and leads and also check your fuel pressure.

Ford Crown Victoria 1998 2012 Workshop Service repair manual Download

Notorious for intake leaks, the composite plastic intakes crack and leak coolant-as to the lack of power, you mght have overheated it and done some damage to the engine. There was a recall (information below) for the 4.6 for the intake-the overheating and lack of power means you should at least have compression checked and go from there-you may have bad head gaskets or worse. Do a compression test before you do anything else.

Ford Motor Company will extend the recall (01M02) on 4.6L V8 equipped vehicles with plastic intake manifolds. Some of the composite intake manifolds used on 4.6L SOHC engines may develop fatigue cracks at the coolant crossover duct. This condition could result in engine coolant leakage which, if not serviced, may cause engine overheating. Complete loss of coolant may result in engine damage or engine failure.
The updated recall now includes:
• Certain 1996 through 2001 Model Year Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
• Certain 1998 through 2001 Model Year Crown Victoria with Taxi
• Certain 1998 through 2001 Lincoln Town Car Limousine and Livery Prep Package
• Certain 1996-2001 Crown Victoria Taxis, Police cars and Lincoln Town Car Limousine and Livery cars.
• Certain 1996 through 1997 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Vehicles with 4.6L SOHC engines built at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant from the beginning of production for the 1996 Model Year through January 28, 1997.

sounds like its not getting enuf gas or bad gas line

check the trany fluid if its full then i would say you need a trany rebuild.

What you have is brake debris in the sensor area. The hesitation is just the Traction control working. The Traction control is suppose to limit one wheel from spinning faster than the other. It does this by interrupting the engine and applying the rear brakes to the faster spinning side.

Most likely you have brake debris from the emergency brakes blinding the sensors. The rear E brakes are hidden from view and are actually small drum brakes inside the rear rotors.

it is probably the rear main seal. it is where the crank shaft comes out of the back of the engine. 

Check your throtle position sensor. You need to check the code when the light is on.

i have a 1999 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. you have a short in your wiring harness leading to your battery. this happens every time with these cars, good battery-good starter-good alternator but car still wont turn over because the power from the battery isnt able go directly to the motor. check your relay circuits and harness.
