PCM? cars are full of them and worse every newer year. yes all that is married.! key security IMMO if there. PCM ,BCM and cluster the PCM (that has tcm inside) must be proprogrammed for lots of things, Odometer, VIN, , security and engine type and what transmission is there, for 2 or 3 types.\ and key options on the car, like Radio. there. of 6 i bet the computer is not bad, PCM inputs to a computer must be good or outputs will be wrong! (rule of GIGO garbage in ,garbage out) all inputs and output actuators must be good!! ALL! cam jumped time is an easy fix if head valves not bent/ never checked all fuses and scan the PCM for errors? so engine died but the starter cranks fast or what? V6 is chain cam the chain wrecked? and is interference engine, got this? DOHC 4 cams. means never let the chain fail. I4 is chain cam. and has hydra,chain tension'er that must not be bad. or chain goes wild. cheap fix that.\ free running engine, no bent valves deals. spark timing is fixed in the PCM. not adjustable ever. find a real ASE shop and end guessing. they do the tests and deep inspections to learn truth,. i get my PCM from CARDONE and it says clear as day flash programing. and did not lie https://www.cardone.com/search.php?search_query=%22XJ9Q8A9~%22&year=2005&make=MERCURY&model=MARINER&Part%20Type=Engine%20Control%20Module&sort=alphaasc 9x out of 10 scans the PCM as you crank any dead engine and it tells you why it did. sure P0-3xx errors for cam/crank, cmp/ckp sensor out of sync when the chain fails but gee the chain warned you in advance (I WILL FAIL HARD SOOn with huge racket of noise top of engine) good luck !!!!!

My 2006 mercury milan says to check the charging system , it just clicks when i attempt to start it. all lights and power to the car are good . what should i check and how

If your car is clicking when you try to start it, it could be an indication of a weak battery or a problem with the alternator or the starter. Here are a few steps you can take to diagnose the issue:
  1. Check the battery connections: Make sure the battery connections are clean and tight. If the connections are loose or corroded, it can cause a weak connection and prevent the car from starting.
  2. Check the battery voltage: Use a multimeter to check the voltage of your car's battery. A fully charged battery should read around 12.6 volts. If the voltage is lower than this, you may need to charge the battery or replace it.
  3. Check the alternator: Start the car and use a voltmeter to check the voltage across the battery terminals. The voltage should be around 14 volts if the alternator is working properly. If the voltage is lower than this, the alternator may need to be replaced.
  4. Check the starter: If the battery and alternator are both working properly, the problem may be with the starter. Try tapping the starter with a hammer or other tool to see if that helps. If tapping the starter works, it may be time to replace it.
If you are not comfortable performing these checks yourself, it is best to take your car to a professional mechanic to diagnose and fix the issue.

1996 mercury tracer trouble code p 1405 wheres the sensor hose located 0n a 1.9 engine any pic.

The P1405 trouble code on a 1996 Mercury Tracer indicates an issue with the differential pressure feedback electronic sensor circuit (DPFE). The DPFE sensor is located on the driver's side of the engine compartment, mounted to the firewall. To locate the sensor hose, follow the black rubber hose that connects to the sensor. The hose will lead to the EGR valve, which is located on the intake manifold. Unfortunately, I am not able to provide pictures, but a quick online search may yield helpful visual aids.

I need to check and

Under the hood there will be a dipstick marked for transmission. You need to check the fluid level while the engine is running. If you need to add fluid, you use a funnel and pour the fluid in through dipstick tube.

I just purchased a 2005 mercury sable from a family member but neither of the charging ports work, how should i go about fixing them

There could be a few potential issues that could be causing the charging ports not to work on your 2005 Mercury Sable. Here are a few steps you can take to try to fix the problem:
  1. Check the fuses: The first thing to check would be the fuses related to the charging ports. Your vehicle's owner's manual should have a diagram of the fuse box and a description of which fuses control which systems. If a fuse is blown, it will need to be replaced.
  2. Check the wiring: If the fuses are in good condition, you should next check the wiring between the charging port and the vehicle's electrical system. Look for any loose or frayed wires, and repair or replace any damaged wiring as needed.
  3. Check the charging port itself: The charging port itself could be the problem. Look for any visible damage or debris blocking the port, and clean it out if necessary. You can also try unplugging and re-plugging any devices that are connected to the port to see if that fixes the issue.
  4. Have a professional inspect the system: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it might be best to have a professional inspect the charging system. A mechanic or an auto electrician should be able to diagnose the problem and repair it for you.
