I have a 2000 Ford Crown Vic interceptor with 185,000 miles. The car only misfires when the temp is below 50 degrees it stumbles really badly. I have changed the temp sensor, plug boots for the individual coil packs, I have also replaced the PCV and the hose that runs from PCV to throttle body. Once the car warms up it smooths out and runs fine NO MISS once warmed up. The car is in top condition for the mileage other than the miss. Please any solutions would be appreciated.
take a look at the EGR valve it could be either vacum controlled or electronic either way what seems to be the problem is that the valve is stuck in the open position until the engine warms up you can gently tap the egr valve with a small hammer or a screw driver and you can see that it runs smooth, now if the egr valve is vacum controlled replace the valve. if it is electronoc controlled replace the valve and the module for the egr valve.

i bought a 2000 crown victoria police interceptor with a 4.6 v8 and after a day the engine light came on, so i took it to get checked and it said that cylinder 4 had a misfire. the car only has 98k on it and it runs very strong but i do feel some roughness accelerating. any tips or thoughts about what i can do to fix the problem?
first cylinder 4 is the last on the passenger side . first pull the coil out and check if there is water where the plug is. if there is take the water out and dry up the coil. if you find water you got a crack manifold or a bad intake manifold gasket. if there is no water replace the coil. good luck

how to remove rear axel from ford crown victoria tne axel is loose and making noise leaking fluid i think it neds a new seal
do u mean the axle has "play" when u grab the tire and wiggle it up and down?? if it has play, then it propbably needs an AXLE SEAL AND AXLE BEARING.you will have to carefully inspect the axle itself where the bearing rides for any gouging or damage. THIS JOB requires a decent amount of mechanical skill. 1ST you need to remove the rear end COVER and drain out the gear oil into a drain pan.2ND remove the brake caliper and rotor . 3RD spin the" ring and pinion " around until u see a 5/16 bolt that passes thru from the pass. side to the drivers side. u have to remove this bolt. u will need to "hold "the gears from turning in order to break loose this bolt. 4TH remove this bolt and slide out the large metal ""PIN" that 'divides" the rear end in half. NOW CAREFULLY WITHOUT TURNING THE REAR END SPIDER GEARS,PUSH IN THE AXLE TOWARDS THE INSIDE SO U CAN REMOVE THE "C-CLIP" AT INNER END OF AXLE. now u can slide out axle and youll be able to replace seal and if needed axle bearing. let me know if u need more info.

I own a 2000 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. It had been running fine, but now it won't start. It cranks fine. I checked the Fuel Filter and it seems fine. I tried starting it without the fuel filter attached and no gas came out of the line, so I figured it was the fuel pump. I tried starting it a few days later after reading about the fuel pump reset switch, and it started for a second, but wouldn't stay running, and it is now back to not starting at all. Could this be the fuel pump relay, or do I need to change out the fuel pump?
Check the fuel pump reset switch again, if it is popped back out then replace that little switch in the trunk, any ford one will do. it works off a magnet and a bearing to close the circuit for the fuel pump. easy fix.

how can i slim jim the door? (locked my keys inside)
with out the right tools it will be verry hard also you can break your glass or knock a lock rod off.
THE best way to do this is if you have power locks find somthing you can use as a wedge EXAMPLE;screw driver.place the wedge between the dood and the car you may have to pry it open a little. now get a coat hanger and push the power lock button.

how to reset the fuel pump shut off switch
The inertia switch is located in the trunk behind the side panel. It has a button on top of it, if the button is sticking up out of it, it is tripped. You just have to push the button back down to reset it.

I have a VERY stiff steering wheel. Hard to turn much @ all. There is fluid in the steering place... What can be some possible problems? 2000 Ford Crown Victoria...
Hello! The place that you put the fluid into is opaque...You should see the fluid moving around inside...This shows that the pump is, in fact, "pumping" if it is not moving, shut off the engine... push down and up on the belt...It should only move about 3/4"...Any more then that may be a sign that the belt is loose and slipping...Here is a picture of Miss Vicky's belt...How old is the belt?? May need to replace...If you hear a whining noise from the pump when turning the wheel there is air trapped in the lines...Jack up the front...remove the fluid cap and turn the wheels lock to lock several times...Top off with fluid and try it out...No improvement ? buy a new pump...Saailer

low cooling fan stop working
If the sensor was the problem you would have a check engine light on, the fan is operated by the powertrain control module which controls a relay module. You must have the dealer run a scan of the system ans do an active test on the fan operation to determine what is wrong.

when running my crown Victoria I smell antifreeze is my heater core going up
If the smell is coming thru the vents, it could be the heater core.
The carpet on the passenger side may get wet at some point in time.
