Repair Questions and Answers
Question:
1986 Mercury Lynx mileage: 157,000. I have a
problem that I have been trying to diagnose now for
about two years. My Lynx will go for about 3-4 months
and run just fine, then out of the blue I will be
driving along and it will sputter and stop running.
I will let it sit for a few hours and it will start back
up, run for a while, and quit again. This will go
on for up to a month then it will return to running
normal. I have had it in for diagnostic, tune-ups,
carburetor rebuilt, thorough electrical inspection, all
to no avail, I am at a loss. Right now, I am
battling the on/off running syndrome. Any help
would be appreciated.
Answer:
If possible, when your car dies, and will not restart,
check for spark at the spark plugs. If there is no
spark, the problem may be the ignition module or they
pick-up coil in the distributor.
Question:
1987 Mercury Lynx
mileage:
139,000 I am trying to find the location
of the fuel pump relay on an '87 Mercury Lynx Hatchback
(1.9 l with central fuel injection [CFI] and passive
restrain system). I have called 4 local Mercury
dealerships service departments and have received
comments that the relay is: back near the inertial
cut-out switch; behind the glove box; in the engine
compartment on the left wheel well under the master
brake cylinder; in the engine compartment near the
ignition module. I have not been able to find it in any
of these locations. Could you guide me to this relay??
Please?? Thank you.
Answer: It is located under
the left side of the dash above the brake pedal. It is
the green colored relay
