Check sending unit, Ford/Mercury put out a TSB, technical service bulletin : Article No. 95-13-2 07/03/95, on erratic temp sender units.
You troubleshoot as follows :

  1. Turn ignition switch to On or ACC position.
  2. Connect a 10 ohm resistor between gauge lead and ground. The centerline of pointer should fall within the band around the H mark.
  3. Connect a 73 ohm resistor between gauge lead and ground. The centerline of pointer should fall within the band around the C mark.
  4. If gauge tests within calibration, replace sender.
  5. If gauge is out of calibration, replace gauge.

SOURCE: The heater in our car is not blowing hot air. It

Check the heater hoses under the hood first to see if they are hot. if they are, there is a temperature control actuator on the top of the heater box. the motors go bad, and the temp door does not move. The motor is hard to get to but if you open the glove box it is to the left, almost behind the radio.

SOURCE: 2001 mercury Grand Marquis temp gauge reads cold

Replace the temperature sending unit. Don't confuse it with the coolant sensor, it's the sending unit that's bad.
The sending unit usually has a one wire connection, and the sensor has a two wire connection. I don't have my manual at the moment, so I can't tell you exactly where the unit is.

SOURCE: where are the spark plugs located on a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis

There are eight COPs (coil-on-plugs) to remove. Using a 7mm or 9/32" socket, remove each bolt securing each COP to the intake manifold on top of the engine. Remove all eight COPs, and the spark plugs are underneath. When replacing the spark plugs, use only the proper Ford/Motorcraft plugs, even if they cost twice as much as the aftermarket ones. You will avoid further headaches this way. Hope this helps.

Heat not get hot

if the temp gauge is reading hot, and theres poor heat then go under the hood near the firewall and locate the two heater hoses going into the firewall, they will be rubber hoses, not the metal lines. when the car is all warmed up feel each hose, they should both be hot and roughly the same temperature, if one is hot and the other luke warm or cold then the heater core is plugged up, pull the hoses off and blast it out back and forth with a garden hose.
