When a tank is empty there is no fuel for the pump and the system runs low on fuel pressure Going up hill the fuel runs away from the pick up line and the pump sucks air
After filling it takes a while to empty the air out of the system to allow full pressure again. It is an extremely costly practice to run so low on fuel as it may lead to a pump replacement

SOURCE: Tachometer not working on 1999 mercury villager

his problem is caused by the failure of the circuit board that operates the tach needle, you will have to remove the instrument panel then the tach from the panel and send it out for repair to an authorized Nissan electronics repair center, contact your local dealer for the name and number.

SOURCE: 93 mercury villager ran out of gas. filled with gas will not star

When you ran it out of gas you may have ruined the fuel pump. They are very touchy. you can check it by having someone listen under the car by the fuel tank and you turn the key to the on position, be sure not to try and start it. When you turn the key to the on position you should hear the pump prime its self. If you dont the pump is bad if you do then you might look into the fuel filter it may have gotten clogged when it ran out of gas.

SOURCE: 1999 mercury villager engine just quit

there will most surely be more damage if you try to turn it over. do not until it is properly replaced and timed. the valves will become bent and this would require a top end overhaul. hope this helps!

SOURCE: Engine bogs down when going

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

Two things can cause this problem. I do suspect that you have fuel flooding. When you're uphill you tend to press the accelerator and while you floor it there's a lot of fuel coming in but can't be burned enough. The solution is to replace the spark plugs for it can be worn. Once the plugs are replaced you'll have a better fuel burning.

The other common cause is a faulty torque converter. The torque converter controls the shifting of the car. If the torque converter fails to shift you tend to press the accelerator and you'll surely have fuel flooding. Have the torque converter replaced too and you'll be good.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa!

WHAT CAUSE A MERCURY VILLAGER TO BOG GOING UP A HILL

when the tank gets low on fuel(under 1/4) or less.. the pump, which uses the gas to keep cool, will get hot and start to cavitate(run at slower speeds and cause a severe fuel pressure surge)..the engine will respond accordingly..most will do this as the system gets older..to avoid it and possible premature pump failure, keep the tank at least 1/4 fll..

I have a 1999 mercury villager and when i press the gas pedal it starts knocking real loud

That maybe a spark knock try filling your fuel tank with 92 octane gas and see if the knock quits.

Has a gas smell

I'm going to assume you do not see gas on the ground.
In hot weather, you may smell gas when the tank is venting.
On Villagers especially in cold weather, the clamp can become loose on the rubber fuel line at the injector rail.

My Mercury Villiger's been over heating, it just started im going to replace the thermostat, but when going up hill the van jerks as if it wants to die down on me. When i say jerks i mean shakes really bad...

The jerking could be the EGR valve--as you have a
high vacuum signal under a load,meaning going up hill
and on the gas

The overheating issue could be effecting the ignition
and again cause misfires going up hill

When ever I have any problems I immediately stop
using the vehicle until ALL Problems are resolved

Remember your not working on a ford if I
recall, it is actually a nissan powertrain

I have a 2000 mercury villager runs fine when first started in the morning but after several miles stats bucking and knocking worse when you try to excelorate bogs down real bad, could this be the knock...

do not change the knock sensor.

sounds like cam sensor in distributor is going. works cold fine, then as engine warms upo it starts going. is tach needle jumping too?

Buy reman rich porter on ebay for $200. sensor inside is not serviceable. common issue on 99-00.
