best damn fix it yourself video hands down...im not a mechanic but this video helped me do it myself..I have a 97 cougar only 72k miles on it and i started having the symptoms of a bad fuel filter, I thought it was the catalytic converter, i did some research and asked around found it be the filter thanks...i saved money and gained knowledge
Antonio Little No Problem. Im Glad i can be of service. Stay tune for more to come.
by the way i bet the auto shops are hating me right now because im taking potential customers away from them and giving those customers knowledge so they can save a hell lot of money in their pockets instead of being ripped off lol
What's the symptoms ?
I wish all tutorials were like this. I'll be dishing out middle fingers a plenty to those that fall short from now on. What about my '93 cougar? I'm sure I can figure it out based on this.
You did a great job....I'm a woman and i learned alot from you🤗
Im glad to be of service 😊
Man, I don't know if you're still on here, but I just found this video. My daughter has a 2002 XR7, and this needs done. Your video made me laugh and you hit all the points! Thanks man!!
Thanks for the help and advice my friend. I recently just purchased my 2000 cougar. I'll be following your instructions.
I was trying to sell my 97 xr7 today. I gave a man my keys and told him to try it out. It quit just before my house. If I floor it will hit and die. I will try you procedure for filter change. Great video!
I have a 1996 is the fuel filter in the back like the one in the video?
Was it your filter?
Awesome videos man. I just got a cougar myself and I do my own work. Thanks for uploading.

@@mordicaizerkhan-cougarrepa7849 thank you so much!!
Excellent video..easy to understand....gotta find the Medical Marijuana gloves.....
lol smart man , thanks for watching.
I just had a mechanic lie to me about where my fuel filter was located!!!! He said replacing the filter would cost $300-$400 because the filter is located inside of the tank and replacing it would require removing the tank and emptying it. Why do mechanics keep trying to take advantage of women like that??????
You’re doing God’s work out here and I appreciate it so much. Thank you thank you thank you! I don’t think I will replace it myself, but I will never go back to that shop again.
Wow that is very sad but I'm very glad you looked up this video and gain knowledge from it. A friend once told me (works in a shop) that his boss said "It is easier to make more money off from women entering the shop because they have no knowledge about cars and using the "scare tactic to them solidifies them spending lots of money. Its pathetic.
The fuel filter isn't in the tank, but the fuel PUMP is, at least on most modern cars. It requires both dropping the gas tank and removing the back seat (and in most cases messing with the exhaust pipes because they're in the way). Honestly, I don't know why all the car companies went to having the pump in the tank, my old 82 Mustang had the fuel pump mounted to the side of the engine and it was a 5 minute fix.
Yes...easy peasy...easy to understand. Thank you..
+paul mackenzie No problem. Glad to be of service 👍
Awesome job! I have a Ford Contour SE V6 2.5L so a lot of information 'transfers'. Subscribed!
Gerald's Videos Welcome to the Family, I agree, Cougars crossovers are Contours and Mystiques
Just in case of some Final Destination shit.
😂🤣😂
Lol you already know.
Medical marijuana gloves....😂😂😂😂😂
You already know.... lol
love these videos
Thank you Ariel, I'm glad you enjoyed them
Great video, and I did give you a like. You could install a new hose clamp around the fuel filter support hosing. But you can't deny zip ties can do it all.
+Peter Scott Thank you for your positive feed back, and well said, i agree
great video and awesome humor. gonna give it a try next weekend. it has had some slow acceleration this winter. so I have been needing to warm up the car for a good 5 or 8 minutes before driving it. not sure if it is the pump or filter, but definitely have not changed the filter in a while. have a 2000 cougar, exact same color as yours. :)
+Joe Mroszczak I'am glad you enjoyed the video. Yes a good idea to change the fuel filter right away, also it sounds like you may need a tune up , spark plugs and spark plugs wire for your acceleration problem, But before you head that direction first check your transmission fluid on idle see if its on the mark for full. If its low then refill it. If its not red but brownish have a drain and fill right away (no transmission flush). If your level is fine then clean your mas air flow sensor with mas air flow sensor cleaner then go to the throttle body and clean out the throttle body black carbon build up thats around it with throttle body cleaner. Make sure your air filter is clean. Do you have a check engine light on?
great tips boss! gonna give it a try when I get some time next weekend. no check engine light at all. just the super slow acceleration and RPM jumps in the lower gears when cold. almost like a late shift in the automatic transmission. 2 years ago it started to buck when shifting between gears, tried a few things and finally changed the throttle position sensor. that fixed it. but I think this is fuel system related. just have to try things one by one. It is an old car, but still holding up well.
Bro, thank you so much
The best man ohhh yeah thank you boss
Straight to the point 😂🤣
Ohhh yeahhhh 💪😏
I just bought 99 cougar v6 has been sitting fir about year. It runs rough what would you suggest all that might need to be replaced after sitting long. Thank you enjoy video you are good at explaing I'm learning
How long did this take? And would the filter cause the car not to start??
This job duration will take you from anywhere between 30 minutes to 45 minutes. An extremely bad filter will cause blockage thus makes it harder for the fuel pump to push gasoline pass the filter threw the fuel lines, those are extremely rare cases. For a car to not start can be many other things that went wrong. For example; Fuel pump, starter, ignition Coil pack, bad sensors, etc.
Those filter look like the oem, where did you picked them up at? please share!
Would this be a reason why my car is burning gas fast?
changed mine last year and was a original Motorcraft one so I'm sure it was the original bc that shit was black lol. probably should do it again in the spring
+Brady Kinnaird smart man, thats a wise choice. You probably notice the difference in performance after as well.
I have a 2001 Mercury Cougar 2.5 liter V6 that would not turn over. it's at for 4 months and I finally had work to on it. checked fuses, battery was charged, push the safety fuel shut off button, made sure fuel pump was humming through gas tank, replace a sensor behind the passenger tire may I was very difficult. acts like it wants to start but no fuel. what should I do? realized there was no oil but added some would that have anything to do with it? please help me fix my car. thank you
+Anthony Tackett you did alot of "process of elimination" so that part narrows it down. You said it dont turn over. My question to you is do the car crank (trying to start) but dont turn over or does it not crank as well?
Mordicai Zerkhan - Cougar Repairs yes it cranks just fine. and sounds like it wants to turn over but no fuel or maybe spark?
+Anthony Tackett it can be a couple of things but do this first if you haven't. Try starting the car in park. it when it cranks start pressing (pumping) the gas petal and keep forcefully press it until it turns on. If that dont work. It could be bad fuel rail, bad fuel injectors, bad spark plugs, bas ignition coil pack. But first i need to ask more questions about it.
When was the last time you did a tune up? How long and why your engine ran out of engine oil? Does it have a check engine light on?
Mordicai Zerkhan - Cougar Repairs yes the check engine light was on but something else I forgot to mention the car made a wooh wooh wooh sound and the rpm guage would shoot up then went wayyyy down and died sometimes.
Mordicai Zerkhan - Cougar Repairs the guy we bought the car off of in Claremore has his own shop there and said he did a tune-up before he sold it to us. and the reason for no oil what is it just was not checked and we use synthetic oil
What year is the vehicle you did this video on? I have a 2002 Mercury Cougar; will mine have the same setup?
+Joe Starr I did this on a 1999.
Yes, the 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002 are the eighth generation (last generation). Those years have the same set up.
Had a buddy check the fuel filter, fuel pump & all relays and fuses; all came back good except for the voltage for the pump. It came back only getting 8v instead or 12 or 12.5v. We even tried checking the fuel cut-off switch and that came back ok. There wasn't any broken wires around the pump either; could the pump still be bad (even with no broken wire being present) or is there a broken wire somewhere in the car we still haven't found?
have you check the retention clips? common reasons for a connector to go bad is the retention clips. If a connector does not have good retention and a tight connection, it can lead to heat problems and voltage drops, also check for corrosion as well.
If your buddy check those already and everything is good then its most likely your fuel pump. which is common for most (not all) of the eighth generation cougars 99-02 to have a bad pump and people get it replaced. I believe if im not mistaken, Ford did a recall on them years back.
i just changed my filter and it was alittle blacker than yours....smh, but thanks for the lesson bruh.
+Mista_Mista _AkA_Dream_ON no problem, im gald to be of service, good thing you changed it. Your engine and fuel line/ pressure will thank you for it.
That's a lot cheaper than a fuel pump
