2002 Mercury Marquis Repair Question
Mercury Grand Marque 2002 V8 - 160,000 miles
Answer
Would you call it a shudder? Is it more consistent at the same speed or gear shifting point?
Well you might call it a shudder. Feels more like I ride over a wash board. It does not have anything to do with shifting, it is not at a shift point. it happens at different speeds. However Higher speeds are more agressive wash board feel. Today I noticed more coughing of the bad coils and feel that might have something to do with it. But again its like driving over a bunch of ripples in the road. Like the ripples to warn you you are going off the road.
I think the starting point on this is to retreive the codes from the computer to start narrowing it down.
Well took it to the dealer today and no codes listed but after driving it I had two problems. One number 6 coil bad and transmission converter going bad.
That was why I asked about the shudder, there is a tsb on the converter for that. Glad to hear your success.
