The sensor is mounted under the hood behind the grille. it is usually a thin cylindrical device about 3" long and has two small bolts holding it in place. Very easy to replace on most models. Let us know if you run into a problem with it and I will guide you thru the process in more detail if needed. Glad to help, Rich

hi,
take off the passenger side front tire. this may give you a way to SEE the bolt. a wobbly and 3 extensions got it for me on my LTD. but it was much older. just an idea. you can try autozone.com they have an extensive repair library, you have to sign up , but its completely free.

IT LEAKS HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT LOOKING FOR A LEAK?

p0176 and p0177 are the same, fuel composition sensor CKT range/ performance.

My advice is go to auto supply house buy a repair manual (I would ask the clerk which repair manual they recommend) and check for other issues i.e. distributor (there is a shaft directly driven from the distributor to the oil pump that is notorious for breaking and causing issues with the oil pump on this motor) and other things that can cause problems with the oil pump on the crown vic before you get into removing and replacing oil pump conduct a through investigation with the assistance of the repair manual that you choose, they range from 30.00 to about 50.00. I really hope that my advice helps you and if you feel at all uncomfortable preforming the mechanics yourself after research please find a mechanic.

First thing I would do is change the tranny filter and fluid. These trannys are know for failure if you don't change the fluid and filter every 75000 miles.
Another thing that wouldn't be bad to do is test all your solenoids or have a diagnostic computer hooked up to your pcm and check for any codes.
If a fluid and filer doesn't help, you can try a tranny flush or check that the bands are properly adjusted.

may need new piston rings or the valve seats

Follow the TOP radiator hose to the front of the engine block. The housing that the hose connects to will have 2 bolts mounting it in place.
The thermostat is located inside it.

Try turning the wheel in both directions with some force while turning the ignition. Sometimes the steering wheel is in a bind when the vehicle is parked and it makes the ignition lock cylinder "stick". WHen you relieve the pressure on the steering column you should be able to turn the key.

this year has problems with the headlight switch and the connector to it overheating and burning the contacts, this causes the circuit to have very high resistance, this causes the blinking, replace the head light switch and the connector, both are avail from Ford at a reasonable price/

THE REVERESE APPLY CLUTCH BAND IS WORN OUT, THIS MEANS THE TRASNMISSION MUST BE TORN DOWN AND REBUILT.

Why would a dealer not find the problem? I know the answer,just see thousands of those senerios.
So the dealer doesn't want to repair your vehicle!
If the fuel pump is 18 years old or less, it is the most likely problem.
No one can really know, without the car and some testing,but I hope that gives you a possible cause.

It is either mechanical or electrical. There could be a spinning cable inside a jacket which goes from the transmission to the cluster or an electronic sender which sends a signal to the cluster. Call a dealer and they can tell you. If it is electronic, replace the sender first as it will be cheap and easy. If that does not fix it now you are looking at how much you want to spend on a cluster for a car this old. If it is mechanical, then either the cable is broken or again the cluster issue. If you determine it is the cluster, these can be found cheap at junkyards or ebay, but the labor to install it will not be cheap and disassembling the dashboard can be a pain.

check the ground wires and connections to the frame and engine

Have you tried to spray starting fluid in the air cleaner? A lot of times when you have the problem of it stalling and then running again it is usually the fuel pump not pumping enough pressure. If you spray starting fluid in the air cleaner and it starts, which I am sure that it will. I would say it has to be a fuel pressure problem or something along those lines. More than likely the fuel pump. When they get that old they just aren't as strong as they use to be.

Good Luck! I hope this helps you! If so please rate!!! Thanks!

its usually the fuse its called courtesy fuse at fuse panel
