The timing on all 96 and newer vehicles is computer controlled so its very rare for one to jump time.One thing bothers me you said you can see spark coming from one of the top of the plug,thats a problem.Check the plug wires because you must have one bad if you can see it.If they are all in bad shape replace them then see how it runs,it might just fix all the problems.

SOURCE: Adjusting headlights on 2002 Crown vic

I noticed this is 6 months old so I don't know if you have figured it out yet but heres an answer for you. On the back of the headlights there are 3 plastic heads, they turn but spray some wd40 or something on them first. You might have to take the headlights assembly out to get a good bite on them.

SOURCE: Wiper motor replacement for a 99 crown vic

I replaced the same part on a 1994 Crown Vic. There are a few bolts which go through rubber mounts on the firewall and that is how the wiper motor fits against the firewall. There is a clip on the wiper drive that must be pressed and slid off the wiper shaft. The hardest part was getting clearence between the engine and wiper motor. If I remember there was a way to turn the wiper case to clear the engine. I have asked myself why this was engineered like this? There is nothing important in the way that 3/4" of clearance could have been given for removal.

SOURCE: I have replaced the ignition module 4 times already.

Sounds like you may have a bad ignition coil also,causing the module to burn up.

01 crown vic p71 do i need a new oil pump .. Gauge jumps up and down. Motor has vibration

Tough to say. The lifter making the noise could be allowing oil pressure to escape. Or it may be dry for oil because oil is not getting to it.
You may have to take the lifters out to see if it is a lifter problem or lack of oil.

1999 Crown turned ignition switch to start - heard pop - no electrical power

If nothing works including the lights, something happened between the battery and the fuse box.
There are some fuseable links between the battery and the starter solenoid or between the solenoid and the fuse box.
I'd start with the battery cables and look for those fuseable link wires.

Timeing jumped on crown vic 2002

You should pull that plug out and check it's condition carefully. Also that spark plug wire may be broken internally. Try a new or different spark plug and spark plug wire first and see if that helps.

My 2002 crown vic started backfireing then would not start seems to not be getting any gas could this be my coil pack?

It sounds more like a timing belt has failed.
check for spark at the spark plugs
If there is no spark you can have the coils tested
But i till think timing belt due to the back fire and then the no run
If this was helpful please rate this question

2002 ford crown vic. driver side wiper not working? passenger side works

the linkage between the wiper motor and the wiper arms needs to be replaced. the stud on the one side is stripped and that is why it doesn't work as it should. this happens usually when the wipers are left on in the winter with the blades freezing to the windsheild. turn on the car with frozen blades tends to strip out the teeth holding the wiper arms onto the linkage
