I need to flush the radiator, have details on how just don't know where the cap is
The drain plug is actually just a screw that requires a large phillips head to remove. It is located on the passenger side at the bottom of the radiator. The best way to locate it is to find the tube that runs from the coolant reservoir to the radiator and look underneath where it hits the radiator. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ty, picking up car tomorrow, died on me. had to take to an unknown repair shop $440, he say I need to flush radiator and it needs flush asap and recommended a shop. after looking online can't understand how he couldn't have the equipment to do himself! the shop he recommended will be appx $130. broker than broke now. so thought me and daughter would try
That is nonsense A complete new radiator is only $150.00 Why did you ask where a radiator cap is if the vehicle is in a repair shop
I still need to have the radiator flushed, his "part" is complete. READ what I typed.
a new radiator runs between 150-300, not including labor
But flushing is only running a garden hose and water thru it That won't fix anything inside the radiator You were told you have sludge in your radiator That could actually be sealer from someone trying to fix a leak in the past The radiator has to be replaced You need a radiator shops opinion if you only want to have it cleaned Only a raditator shop can do that & todays aluminium radiators are seldom tanked out they are replaced r

Any time you don't see a cap on the actual radiator
you follow the top hose to what is called a engine fill
cap
It won't look like a raditator cap,it will be plastic & near
the thermostat on most vehicles & near the top of the
motor or cooling system,just have to look for it
If your have problems, running water thru the rad won't help, I doubt
A new radiator & thermostat may, if you don't have major gasket
issues & overheating
Flushing the radiator won't fix overheating or no cabin heat
I keep mentioning those because no one coming to this
site ever tells use the real issues or why they ask
Testimonial: "looks like my posts, didn't post"
Should be next to battery look on top radiator should see radiator cap next to battery on driver side.if you dont see radiator cap your radiator overflow jug has the radiator cap in which where you add coolant to radiator when coolant low just pour coolant until coolant stay at full cold mark.

I do Believe that they are 225/65/15's Do you have the Original Tires now???? If so They have the Size right on the Tire. The Letters and Writing are in Black But, If you take a Piece of Chalk and Highlight the Writing you can read it better. The writting is right on the Side of the Tire.
SOURCE: tire sizes
Open the front drivers door... or the passenger side front door... there should be a sticker there indicating correct tire sizes as well as pressures.

SOURCE: o2 sensors on a 99 mercury cougar v6
I just got done replacing the O2 sensors in my 99 Cougar due to throwing a P0135 malfunction code. There's 3. Facing the engine there's one in the front coming off of the front header, which is easy to get to. Another more tricky one if between the engine and the fire wall on the rear header pipe. The third is under the vehicle behind the transmission pan on top of the exhaust. In order to replace the O2 sensor near the fire wall you will need to remove the 4 retaining bolts for the ECM module and move it out of the way. Additionally you will need to remove the 2 retaining nuts for a wiring harness that is seated below the ECM module. Pay close attention to the connectors because the front and under vehicle O2 sensors have round connectors the one near the firewall has a squared connector. I was able to replace all 3 by myself in approximately 35 minutes. If your throwing a O2 heater malfunction code it is most likely going to be the sensor near the firewall. make sure that you know someone with a code reader so the code can be cleared. If you're do for an emmissions inspection be sure to put at least 40 miles on the new O2 sensor with different types of driving (e.g. highway, coasting, decellerated turns and rapid acceleration). Gotta love project cars for your kids!!
