I have a 1996 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. I had to replace the alternator day after purchase. Yesterday when I stepped down on gas pedal the car made a loud popping noise and hesitated (liked the car coughed) it ran a little rough after that point. This morning the check engine light came on. Any ideas on cost for repair as well?
Go to online store reliable they have repair manuals I am sure you will get the solution.

I would change the thermostat in the vehicle first and go from there. Hope this helps......Dan

Headlight module under the dash. It is the size of a box of crackers, not a small part.
SOURCE: 1996 crown victoria has no heat
i think it is the heater control valve i think it is mounted on the firewall by the top close to the hood it will have two black 5/8 hoses attached to it check and make sure it still has the cable attached to it before you replace
good luck here is the (how to) for your car
The heater control valve (sometimes called the water flow valve)controls the flow of coolant into the heater core from the engine.
Heater control valves are operated in three basic ways: by cable,thermostat, or vacuum. Cable-operated valves are controlled directlyfrom the heater control lever on the dashboard.
Cable-operated heater valve used to control the flow of water or coolant through the heater core.Thermostatically controlled valves feature a liquid-filled capillarytube located in the discharge air stream off the heater core thatsenses air temperature and modulates the flow of water to maintain aconstant temperature regardless of engine speed or temperature. Mostheater valves utilized on today's car are vacuum operated. These valvesare normally located in the heater hose line or mounted directly in theengine block.
To replace a heater control valve:
CAUTION
Identify the heater control valve carefully. It is easily confused with other parts.
SOURCE: intake manifold installing..... difficult?
i replace the intake manifold on my 98 crown vic . its was easy just take your time take pictures. the hardest part for me was two bolts in back of the heads facing the firewall once you get those it quite easy after that. plus you save your self a least 500.00 dollars. good luck
SOURCE: cylinder 4 misfire on a 2000 crown victoria interceptor
first cylinder 4 is the last on the passenger side . first pull the coil out and check if there is water where the plug is. if there is take the water out and dry up the coil. if you find water you got a crack manifold or a bad intake manifold gasket. if there is no water replace the coil. good luck

what are obd codes? I just no that when I stepped down on the gas pedal the car didn't speed up it sounded like a backfire (pop) and hesitated then ran rough for alittle bit. Maybe spark plug issues?
go to an autozone and ask for a OBD2 code forward me that code and i will tell you . i work for jim click ford in tucson, az
You must hook a OBD scanner up to the OBD port on your car. this readt the fault codes your CEL is telling you are present.
Any autoparts store will do it for free... PepBoys, Murrays, AutoZone etc.
post obd codes so we can narrow down the problem.
Well my first thought is timing. Some component is off. Chain or belt has jumped. Distributor has moved. ECM or one of its sensors are faulty. That is just for starters. OBD code would be a first step. Do you have a scan tool? Get the car to a auto parts store that will do it for you if not.
