We seem t have an issue with the 3-4 gear shift up and down. It sounds or acts like the torque converter might be applying at the same time as the 4th gear or vice a versa.

He does acknowledge this generation is too old and has some issues. The one from 2000's has only the intake manifold to be replaced. If I'm not mistaken that's what he said
I revived a 1997 that no one wanted: it had exactly these problems; Wouldn’t start-cleaned MAF, steering shaft binding-just wd-40, 30 bucks for new brake line and it’s the best car I’ve ever driven. People look at me a little weird but I smile when I think that total cost is less than their monthly payments.
That's a fine machine you have there sir. I've got the same car with 100k. Boughy ot with just 45k to a retired doctor. Question.. What oil do you run on it? What api specification? Sn? And at how much mileage you purchased it? I guess you bought it cheap?. I bought mine for 2000 k
You left out the problem I had with my '95. Behind the timing chain are four steel freeze plugs. I bought the car, being told it ran well but sometimes got hot. When I got home, discovered coolant in the oil. Started tearing it down, got down to removing the timing chain, and saw a hole in the freeze plug on the rh head! It now has nice brass freeze plugs in the timing chain compartment. With any good luck, this will solve the problem, and coolant and oil will practice good social distancing LOL!
@@1AAuto Why didn't Ford in 1998 raise the horsepower of the Crown Victoria, the town car and the Mermory Grand Marquis to at least 300 horsepower as it did with the Ford Expedition and Ford Mustang?
I am the third generation to own my 93 crown Victoria. Grandmother bought it brand new then gave it to mom when she graduated jobcor. Mom gave it to me when I graduated highscool and moved out. Been a great car but I have done a lot of maintenance to it since I have owned it.
There were four generations of Crown Vics. Gen 1 was 1979 to 1992. Gen 2 was 1993 to 1997. Gen 3 was 1998-2002. Gen 3.1 was 2003-2011; Gen 3.1 used the Gen 3 body style, but got the upgraded heads, aluminum front cross member and a few other little improvement items enough to make it slightly different.
I've worked on these cars for 15 years and never seen a spark plug shoot out of them. I do know the 5.4 liters of the early 2000's had that problem. But not any panther platforms. Kinda curious of where they got this information from.
Ditto. I have owned and maintained 6 of these from various generations, two of which were 93 and 97 respectively, and have never encountered that issue either. I guess I got lucky!
Already subscribed, which I did as soon as I realized what a gold mine you guys have here. And of course anything you do that involves a Crown Vic will get my attention. Just by the way, I have had an '89, an '03, a '96, and currently an '11. The '11 is the only Interceptor so far. And...the '89 was actually a Marquis, but what's the diff? Not much. Anyway, glad you're here, and I am grateful for your work on RUclips.
Please do second gen next. Currently in the process of repairing my 2000 Grand Marquis LS from home to give me something to do during quarantine. Previous owner did not take care of it but it’s a great car with too much potential to let waste.

I have watched 3 of these for my old beaters - and they are very close. On my focus - I had all of the issues noted by these guys. I think they're pretty straight
Len. 1a keep this guy I can count on my hands the number I went out of my way to make comments on somebody were it was well deserved he was very informative and actually a video that I watched to the end you've got a new subscriber. Len thank you
Love this channel! Bought a 93 vic with a rear seat put back in it without the backrest hooked on do you happen to have an instructional video for that?
92-97, especially 92-95 the valve stem seals go bad and these cars can literally burn 1 quart of engine oil every 500-750 miles, you know the blue puff of smoke you see at stop lights when people take off in these older ones.
Hey any of these things aren’t that bad of a setback except for the transmission especially if you are able to do the work yourself lol. Just keep an eye on the spark plugs and make sure the engine is definitely good to go after some maintenance and then the transmission. After a full inspection you’ll see if you have a car that’ll be beautiful for you if you’re into the panther platform as a passion.
I have a '95 currently and I was wondering if you've ever heard a noise in the front end when braking that sounds like a compressor building pressure but also makes your brakes feel like their binding? I just had brand new lines, calipers, pads, and rotors put in and I'm not sure why I'm experiencing this I've never had it happen before.
hello fali from Brazil, we have a crowvictoria 95 4.6 automatic it is ocilane the slow ax, the pass motor and new. I washed the same with clean contact and cleaned the butterfly tbi etc. I see that the negative cables are very thin on the ground .. he has another defect with the battery charge gone in two days .. I did a battery consumption test .. do you think these problems cannot be caused by grounding?
I got the intake manifold fixed because the intake manifold had a crack in it and filled the coolant tank up and somehow it keeps on getting emptier I don't know if it is still leaking somewhere.
Would you guys make a video on replacing bcms? I’m confused on the process afterwards of replacing the bcm like the programming and what not, it’s an older vehicle 2001 Monte Carlo ss
We've got a 96 Crown Vic with 150,000 miles. Looks amazing. My husband just replaced the fuse for the lighter so he could plug in his phone charger. Now that works but something in the process caused his blinkers/flashers to quit working. Any suggestions?
2 more problems that I’ve seen are the shift linkage tube that attaches to the steering column breaking, and the heater hose that runs under the intake manifold. Having to remove the manifold to change a heater hose is a pain. Also on the newer models the plastic intakes will crack and leak either coolant or air . They also spit out the heater hose fitting, requiring a new manifold.
One thing he said is innacurate. the MAF Mass Air Flow sensor does not meter barametric pressure. That is done by the MAP Mass Air Pressure sensor. On my 97 Grand Marquis, which is essentially the same as a Crown vic, Changing the rear Shocks are very difficult if you are a DIY guy. They are mounted in a very small, tight space above the frame. You need to disconnect the bottom of the shock first, then take a long open end wrench and place it over the nut at top of shock, then grab top half of shock ant twist it counterclockwise.
I hate to be "that guy" but I can't be the only one realizing that 93-97 are not 1st generation Crown Vics. To my knowledge there are at least two generations of Crown Victoria's before the 93-97. But then again I'm no expert...
Very suprised you did not mention the Idle Air Control valve...I have never owned a Crown Vic that did not at some time, multiple times, have these gum up. This is the moaning sound at idle that can also cause rough idle, but goes away the moment you tap on the gas and the throttle body opens.
I have a 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis and the 8th cylinder spark plug blew out going down the highway. I was able to drive it to walmart and put it back in. I took it to Auto zone and put the reader on it, said I have a misfire on cylinders 8 and 7! Changed the spark plugs but the engine still vibrates a good amount.

My 1993crown Vic lx has a lot of problems, it runs and I can't afford to buy another vehicle. My odomiter quit working as well as the speedometer. I had a mechanic about it. He pulled the dash board out and pulled out a wire with a white attachment on the end. He said it would need to be replaced. He said it was a dealer item and had no idea what it would cost for the part. I ask if it would interfere with shifting gears. He said no. I dare anyone to try and steal it. Lol when you put it in reverse you have to take it down to drive 2 then come up 3 knocks. Before it will move. To put into drive all the way down to drive 2 then up 4 knocks lol sounds fun huh ? You never know if you have it in park because the shifter doesn't go to park it goes to reverse. But if you play with it eventually it will stay put. Now the wire with the white device on it, would it cause this problem ,? If so how do I replace it ? At this point I have what most would say is a vaccum leak. Car starts and runs great , I had spark plugs replaced and the guy that did it broke every wire on the spark plugs loom. And he had crossed wires, none was were they were supposed to be. He will never touch my car again. But once everything was in place, now when I try to drive it it barely moves from loss of power. Please help me I live in the country and really need my car.
What are these worth have a 94 police detective car needs a fuel pump but otherwise very nice Hate to see it get derby’d but need to sell Thanks for any advice
Not sure what Gen they are, but the 1990 & 1991 are identical with the exception of the 91’s have the amber colored front parking light lenses. They’re clear on the 1990 CV’s. I actually like this body style over the 1992-1997’s. Good Day to You!

I had a 1997 Crown vic and the manifold cracked at the crossover under the alternator. Had to tear nearly the damn top of the engine apart to repair huge PITA. Dupont made these manifolds, and their name keeps coming up a lot when theirs a path of chaos in the wake.
Regarding the steering shaft problems, NEVER, EVER replace the steering shaft with a Dorman part! I know the genuine parts are hella expensive, but TRUST ME! The updated Ford parts are LEGIT and won't fail again! The Dorman ones will fail again in
The aluminum automatic gear shift breaks off on top of the columns ! AKA sloppy shift... black box under the dash that illuminates your cluster panel and bypass tube on the back of your intake coming from your heater core...
First gens never shot spark plugs that was a 99 only issue. My dad owned first gens a total of 21 years a 92 for 7 years a 93 for 7 years and a 94 for 7 years the real main issues are ac condenser drain plugging all years, 92 only aod trans tv cable failures causing trans damage, all years trans crossmember rotting, frame rot at AC condenser drain spout all years, corrosion at fuel pump connector all years, brake line rot above driver rear wheel frame arch, ambient air temperature readings all years, valve guide seals all years, EGR valve all years, and last but not least lower ball joints almost every year I got so good at doing them I could do both sides in under an hour
Was this car the first to have a modular engine before the mustang? Is the engine of this car a SOHC or a OVH? And also is overhead cam the same as SOHC? 😅
4.6L was modular and its SOHC. I believe the 4.6 came out in 91. Overhead cam is the same as OHC. The S stands for single, so theres one single overhead cam per cylinder head. Some engines have two overhead cams per head and those are DOHC engines. D meaning dual.
wanna hear somethign funny? the town car of this gen in the 90-91 years had 302 HOs in them XD. it surprised me when i lifted the hood of one at pull a part and saw it had an ohv engine where the 92 crown vic had the 4.6 modular motor
Thot u said that stuff was the 2nd gens problems...I beleive their is some mechanics that think theyre mechanics, you on the other hand know what ur doing ive watched you quite a few times...good vids keep it up....
Okay this is bothering me because technically this is the 3rd generation crown vic they had a fairlane crown vic in the 50s Then in 1980 they released the ltd crown victoria so I'm a bit confused on how this is the first generation donut media goes over the history I understand if we don't count the Fairlane crown vic but the ltd crown victoria is still before the squinty boy
Umm hate to tell you this but I need to correct you! 92 is the first gen on panther platform, second 93- 97 is second and so on after that is all the way to the end of the line. Now the 92 has certain parts that are only on this car of 92. As in according to the Ford dealership in AZ it's a Romeo motor but it's junk of the obd1 series where as the next gen of obd1 had the ugly takin out with more power. I'm a crown Vic owner and my 92 I know a lot about. Thanks to Ford Racing
F150 of the same year have the same transmission. Yet, was the most sold pick up in those years, I've been seeing daily more than 10, 1990-1997 f150s on companies such as electricity, plumbing, construction etc. Also, a lot of this cars on the road, including taxis and police cars. I guess they weren't all that bad
Look first off 92-97 is the first gen aero body panthers. Also spark plugs back then had less threads on them and that was the reason for them getting pushed out that’s why ford released new spark plugs with more threads.... if a spark plugs blows out from a updated one then it’s the owners error lmao like torque them down and they won’t “blow out” .Also they only had the AOD-E trans after 95 they then put the 4r70w trans in the panther bodies, also the ONE MAJOR problem any aero body panther (93-95) had was the valve stem seals liked to pre maturely fail, but yet you said absolutely nothing about that, you literally know nothing about these cars obviously.......

My dad owned first gens a total of 21 years a 92 for 7 years a 93 for 7 years and a 94 for 7 years the real main issues are ac condenser drain plugging all years, 92 only aod trans tv cable failures causing trans damage, all years trans crossmember rotting, frame rot at AC condenser drain spout all years, corrosion at fuel pump connector all years, brake line rot above driver rear wheel frame arch, ambient air temperature readings all years, valve guide seals all years, EGR valve all years, and last but not least lower ball joints almost every year I got so good at doing them I could do both sides in under an hour

Was this car the first to have a modular engine before the mustang? Is the engine of this car a SOHC or a OVH? And also is overhead cam the same as SOHC? 😅
+mariano sotas Great question! Search our video library for more on this vehicle: 1aau.to/m/video-library-c
4.6L was modular and its SOHC. I believe the 4.6 came out in 91. Overhead cam is the same as OHC. The S stands for single, so theres one single overhead cam per cylinder head. Some engines have two overhead cams per head and those are DOHC engines. D meaning dual.
wanna hear somethign funny? the town car of this gen in the 90-91 years had 302 HOs in them XD. it surprised me when i lifted the hood of one at pull a part and saw it had an ohv engine where the 92 crown vic had the 4.6 modular motor
Thot u said that stuff was the 2nd gens problems...I beleive their is some mechanics that think theyre mechanics, you on the other hand know what ur doing ive watched you quite a few times...good vids keep it up....
I bought because Scotty said so
Okay this is bothering me because technically this is the 3rd generation crown vic they had a fairlane crown vic in the 50s
Then in 1980 they released the ltd crown victoria so I'm a bit confused on how this is the first generation donut media goes over the history I understand if we don't count the Fairlane crown vic but the ltd crown victoria is still before the squinty boy
Great video. But I can’t get over the fact that you say “vericle” 😔
1992-'97 is NOT first generation. That is actually second generation. The original cars are the 1979-1991 models.
+LITTLE Thanks for the feedback!
Plz grand marquis 2001
Sadque 74 Thanks for watching, stay tune the 2nd Gen video will come soon 🔧

+howtobebasic 2 Thanks for the feedback!
“Verichle”
👍🤩💘
First gen?????
Maybe Now I Dont Wanna Buy One For My First Car
This is actually a 2nd gen.
The 1st gen was the very old classic
Mine keeps burning mf oil
Umm hate to tell you this but I need to correct you! 92 is the first gen on panther platform, second 93- 97 is second and so on after that is all the way to the end of the line. Now the 92 has certain parts that are only on this car of 92. As in according to the Ford dealership in AZ it's a Romeo motor but it's junk of the obd1 series where as the next gen of obd1 had the ugly takin out with more power. I'm a crown Vic owner and my 92 I know a lot about. Thanks to Ford Racing
Panther platform has been around since at least the 80s
+TerryByrdJr Thanks for checking us out!
Lol veericle
Old car. 1993 Ford Crown Victoria can only last till 2007.
The word is VEHICLE , He keeps saying VEERHICLE , anyone notice that. God that's annoying
I've looked it up the 95 Vic's have the 4R70W transmission. So Stay away in my opinion.
Too bad
F150 of the same year have the same transmission. Yet, was the most sold pick up in those years, I've been seeing daily more than 10, 1990-1997 f150s on companies such as electricity, plumbing, construction etc. Also, a lot of this cars on the road, including taxis and police cars. I guess they weren't all that bad
Look first off 92-97 is the first gen aero body panthers. Also spark plugs back then had less threads on them and that was the reason for them getting pushed out that’s why ford released new spark plugs with more threads.... if a spark plugs blows out from a updated one then it’s the owners error lmao like torque them down and they won’t “blow out” .Also they only had the AOD-E trans after 95 they then put the 4r70w trans in the panther bodies, also the ONE MAJOR problem any aero body panther (93-95) had was the valve stem seals liked to pre maturely fail, but yet you said absolutely nothing about that, you literally know nothing about these cars obviously.......
+Full Throttle Garage Thanks for the feedback!
Aod was actually a 92 only transmission. Aode came into play in 1993
Dang I got a 92 grand Marquis that has a misfire. Changed plugs and coils and wires. No idea what it could be!
