A flashing CEL (check engine light) means the computer is recognizing a "catastrophic failure" in your emissions system, warning you of the possibility of severe damage to your catalytic converter(s). The power loss could be a number of things, but the knocking, combined with the flashing light, means there is a severe problem with one (or more) cylinders. Get your vehicle towed to a shop for full diagnostics.
2002 mercury cougar v6 is idling way to high
On some engines the icv is inside the intake manifold and is suppose to move open and closed to vent in extra air for idle. Sometimes they get carbon in the port and the valve sticks. WD40 will dissolve the carbon.
The Code can also mean the coil inside the icv is fried. A simple power off ohmmeter test can test the icv. Check for you tube repair videos
2002 mercury cougar- electrical problem when i hit the breaks
Sounds like a wiring short somewhere. With the car not running, how do the brake lights look when you press the pedal? Check if things are different with headlights on or off... don't guess. Could be a bad ground connection also. Also, make sure your battery is charged and the alternator is working.
2002 Mercury Cougar Squeal
Just for testing, a few seconds, will the vehicle start and run w/o the belt? Have a helper work the throttle, is the sound gone? If problem not the belt, check the belt driven accessory. Sometimes you can use a long metal rod of some kind, with belt on, one end of the rod touches accessory housing, the other end goes on that bone behind your ear, helps to magnify the sound. I guess you could use a mechanics stethoscope to do the same thing. Have helper work the throttle while you listen to each. Don't get tool or anything caught in belt. This is a serpentine belt, I haven't looked?
Maybe an accessory trying to freeze up or bad bearing? I can't think of anything else at the moment?
Mr Armer I will start from the beginning and maybe you can help me figure something else out...
Ok , I'd like to help you out but nothing is listed here . I remember from your original post that you wanted to replace the PCM, BCM and the GEM . If you could list the problems that you are having we mite be able to help you out . I can't see all those modules being bad . Have you had the modules checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's ? Do you know what DTC'S are ? Your Cougar doesn't have a BCM , Just a GEM - generic electronic control module . This is Ford , Mercury , lincoln's BCM . List the problems you are having . Could have a communication between control modules .
Windshield wipers don't shut off and washers don't work
So that wipers park properly, the wipers have 2 power sources. One is from the dash switch to turn the wipers no and off, but the second is the parking power, which is always supposed to be on. The parking power is supposed to be shut off by a rotating cam inside of the wiper motor housing itself. If you don't want to take it out and fix it, you could always just pull the parking wire to the wipers, and then try to manually park them by shutting off the wipers at exactly the right time.
