Re: I have a 1995 mercury villager that i just purchased...
Check the coolant level in the radiator,not the overflow tank do this with the engine cold, then start engine and refill, this is the most likely cause. Hope this helps Thanks Ray Please rate my fix
if the level is low have someone pressure test the cooling system,and find the leak. get back to me if you need more help Thanks Rayif the level is low have someone pressure test the cooling system,and find the leak. get back to me if you need more help Thanks Ray

I think in those vehicles the temperature controls use engine vacuum to work. If so the small rubber hose which comes off the inlet manifold and goes to heater controls more than likely has a split in it. So when your engine is idling there is not enough vacuum to operate the valve that controls the water flow through your heater/ac. Pretty cheap fix unless the split is up under the dash Let me know how you get on
you have air trapped in your cooling system. you need to burp the air or go to a shop that has evacuate & fill equipment to **** all the air out. It is hard to do.
Should cost about $60 to have someone flush & fill. Call around ask about evac & fill equipment.
You have air trapped in the system. If you have cold air, warm air, cold air from your heater, then it's air entrapment. Very common these days. Go to a shop that uses vacuum method to refill cooling system & that will purge air. Otherwise, you can try. Park uphill. cold engine - fill radiator to top with 50/50 mix of antifreeze. leave cap on but loose. fill reservior to 3/4 full. Turn heater to hot to allow coolant to flow through heater core. start engine, run at 1500 rpms until thermostat opens and upper hose is hot. tighten cap and let it cool down. after cool check level of reservoir. fill to top line on reservoir. it should **** coolant back into radiator as it cools down. repeat if still an issue.

you may have a broken crankshaft snout.This was a common problem on 93-95 Villagers if customer replaced a/c belt and overtightened the belt tensioner.
Did you ecently have the belt changed?
Also, remove distributor cap and rotor ( 1 screw) and slotted plate/ Look for brown dust on optical sensors. If yes clean them and see if van starts. If it starts you will need a new distributor (ebay $200) as the bearing is going.
you have air trapped in the system. very hard to "BURP AIR"
park uphill on ramps if possible. With cold engine, leave radiator cap loose and fill radiator and reservoir. run engine until thermostat opens. squeeze upper radiator hose with hand. SHould be hot. Have heater on hot and blower on too. Repeat as necessary. May take several attempts.
you have air trapped in the system.
Park facing uphill (on car ramps if you have them).
with cold engine, remove radaitor cap and fill radiator.
Fill reservoir.
leave cap on loose.
Turn on heater.
start engine and run until upper radiator hose gets hot (meaning thermostat has opened).
Check coolant level and top off. Repeat until temp gauage reads normal and heat is coming from heater ducts.
Start with engine cool. Remove rad cap, top up coolant, start engine, & turn on heater (not defrost). let it run until up to normal operating temperature & radiator fan comes on, then shuts off. Let it do this about 3 times before you put rad cap back on & top up return bottle to proper level. Every once in a while, rev engine slightly for a few seconds while your doing it, to speed up bleed by increasing flow. Keep an eye on temperature gauge for too hot, and fan not coming on, if so, shut it off.
Be sure to ALWAYS have more than 1/4 of gasoline in your tank, this may be caused when having it below that. Also having less than 1/4 could damage your fuel pump wich is an expensive part, so it's good on taking care of it.
