My 1993 crown vic has trouble idleing properly when first started in the morning, either in the winter or the summer. Also if i try to take off real quick after the first start it laggs and runs really rough. What could the problem be?

You may want to check the Vacuum lines if there are leaks. Check also Fast Idle Thermo Valve, which controls the idling at cold starts. If you have a carb, check the idle up valve.

It's running lean. Could be the cold enrichment circuit. Maybe the enigine coolant temperature sensor is bad. dealer can run engine computer test for fault codes. Should be 1/2 hour to 1 hour charge to get codes. call around.

Stalling crown vic

Dependent on what year you have. If it has an idle speed motor that could be cleaned as well as the throttle body. Idle speed motor may need to be replaced sometimes a good cleaning hooks them right up.

2004 Crown Vic w/ auto climate control blows only out defrost and floor vents reguardless of setting, how can I get a schematic for the blower doors and such, to trouble shoot?

those control units in the crown vics **** out all of the time. they're not cheap from the dealer, try auto parts stores for aftermarket or junk yards.
one trick we did with cabs was to pull the unit out and splice the black and blue vacuum lines together. that's great for summer, but you have only vent then.
