Remove the #7 spark plug if it does not look fouled start the vehicle with the plug still connected and look at the ground electrode for any spark it should be a white arc which indicates a high intensity spark if its orange/red it is a weak spark. If you get a poor spark try removing any other spark plug and test it on the #7 coil wire If you still get a poor spark then your plug wire or ignition coil is to blame and would need to be replaced. You can swap your plus wire to test it in the same way as well. hope this helps

Where is the oil pressure sensor located on the 1997 Mercury mountaineer with a 302?

Its on the front driverside of the timing cover side, sets back in there and is pain to get to, if you use a flashlight and look between the fenderwell liner and frame on the front driverside you look below the powersteering pump and above the oil filter you can see it on the side of the timing cover.
