    there is a fault code 542 it onnly comes on when out on the highway.the spark plug wires have been replaced but there were used only beacuse the old wires were bad.as for the EGR i dont know you telling me it will get hot at start up? or will it slowly get hot? in this cols canadain weather.no test done on the intake manifold if it were to leak where would i look? what signs would i have?after the 10 min warm up i drive it everthing is perfect runs like new.only once in awhile i get a rough idol at a stop light.

IF IT IS HOT AT IDLE IT IS LEAKING, JUST THE ENGINE AND LET IT IDLE, WET YOUR FINGERS AND TOUCH THE CAST IRON PART OF THE VALVE NEAR THE BASE.

Replaced fuel pump in my 99 ford crown Vic but still won't start

can you hear the fuel pump working if not check the wiring and power and ground by the tank. check fuel pressure, as if its low it won`t start, you can get bad new parts. do you have spark at the plugs. check for codes. just some places to start.

1992 crown vic with 78K miles. Started skipping

Replace you Maf sensor and have a nice day. lol does the hesitation go away when you let off the gas. does it buck hesitate and misfire under load? most common problem is the maf sesnor.
easy to change. don't buy a used part it may develop the same problem after a little while. you can try cleaning the wire inside with brake cleaner (not intake cleaner). it may or may not help.
