Why would a dealer not find the problem? I know the answer,just see thousands of those senerios.
So the dealer doesn't want to repair your vehicle!
If the fuel pump is 18 years old or less, it is the most likely problem.
No one can really know, without the car and some testing,but I hope that gives you a possible cause.

It is either mechanical or electrical. There could be a spinning cable inside a jacket which goes from the transmission to the cluster or an electronic sender which sends a signal to the cluster. Call a dealer and they can tell you. If it is electronic, replace the sender first as it will be cheap and easy. If that does not fix it now you are looking at how much you want to spend on a cluster for a car this old. If it is mechanical, then either the cable is broken or again the cluster issue. If you determine it is the cluster, these can be found cheap at junkyards or ebay, but the labor to install it will not be cheap and disassembling the dashboard can be a pain.

check the ground wires and connections to the frame and engine

Have you tried to spray starting fluid in the air cleaner? A lot of times when you have the problem of it stalling and then running again it is usually the fuel pump not pumping enough pressure. If you spray starting fluid in the air cleaner and it starts, which I am sure that it will. I would say it has to be a fuel pressure problem or something along those lines. More than likely the fuel pump. When they get that old they just aren't as strong as they use to be.

Good Luck! I hope this helps you! If so please rate!!! Thanks!

its usually the fuse its called courtesy fuse at fuse panel

1. Hi Domino, The fuel shut off is powered by the fuel pump relay (which is in the engine compartment fuse block) the fuel pump relay is powered by the EEC power relay(PCM relay) you will have to check for distribution and voltage. I hope this helps!

Hi a bad fuel pump which will sometimes lead to low fuel pressure can affect the shifting of transmission because often, a dirty fuel filter or injectors will drop fuel pressure at high RPM which can have the same effect as a failing ignition system.......

The easiest way is to take the panel off and raise it that way, if you don't ever roll down the window or you can't get the regulator for awhile, you can block it in the up position with a piece of wood or something. Good Luck Tim

Speed Sensors REMOVAL & INSTALLATION Front Fig. 1: The speed sensor sits directly over the exciter ring in the front knuckle

4. Remove the rubber coated spring steel clip holding the sensor wire to the frame.
5. Remove the sensor wire from the steel routing clip on the frame and from the dust shield.
6. Remove the sensor attaching bolt from the front spindle and slide the sensor out of the mounting hole. To install:
   
7. Install the sensor into the mounting hole in the front spindle and attach with the mounting bolt. Tighten to 40–60 inch lbs. (4.5–6.8 Nm).
8. Insert the sensor routing grommets into the dust shield and steel bracket on the frame. Route the wire into the engine compartment.
9. Install the rubber coated steel clip that holds the sensor wire to the frame into the hole in the frame.
10. Install the steel clip that holds sensor wire to tube bundle on left side or plastic clip that holds sensor to frame on right side.
11. Reconnect the 2-pin connector to wire harness. Connect the negative battery cable.

Rear Fig. 5: Detach the speed sensor connector in the luggage compartment
Fig. 6: Grasp the harness and . . .
Fig. 7: . . . remove it from the routing brackets
Fig. 8: The rear speed sensor is mounted on the back of the hub assembly
Fig. 9: Remove the sensor retaining bolt and remove the sensor from the hub

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. From inside luggage compartment, detach 2-pin sensor connector from wiring harness and push sensor wire through hole in floor.
3. From below vehicle, remove sensor wire from routing bracket located on top of rear axle carrier housing and remove steel clip holding sensor wire and brake tube against axle housing.
4. Remove screw from clip holding sensor wire and brake tube to bracket on axle.
5. Remove sensor to rear adapter retaining bolt and remove sensor. To install:
   
6. Insert sensor adapter and install retaining bolt. Tighten to 40–60 inch lbs. (4.5–6.8 Nm).
7. Attach the clip holding the sensor and brake tube to the bracket on the axle housing and secure with the retaining screw. Tighten the screw to 40–60 inch lbs. (4.5–6.8 Nm).
8. Install steel clip around axle tube that holds sensor wire and brake tube against axle tube and push spool-shaped grommet into clip located on top of axle carrier housing.
9. Push sensor wire connector up through hole in floor and seat large round grommet into hole.
10. Reconnect sensor 2-pin connector to wiring harness inside luggage compartment.

On 1995 Crown Victoria the EGR valve is located at the rear of the engine compartment. While the attaching bolts can be gotten out with a little bit of a problem the egr tube that atteches the EGR valve to the right exhaust manifold is a pain. It is possible to do though. Here are the removal and installation instructions. If you are sure that the EGR valve is the reason for any check engine light then you can remove the battery cable for about five minutes to reset the light, but if the light is on for a differant reason then you just got rid of the code plus any freeze frame data that a shop could have used to diagnose the problem.

There is a fuel inertia switch located in the trunk compartment to the left (drivers side), behind the carpet. I would try there before anything else. The switch will just have to be pushed back in if it has tripped. Hope this helps and good luck!

The transmission will have to be pulled and rebuilt to fix this problem.
I don't think a simple fluid change will fix it.
Good luck to you.

r12, but it needs to be converted to r134,

I would replace the fuel filter if it hasn't been done. Also check the air filter. You may need to clean the throttle body.

If the engine stalls at idle the problem is with idle air control solenoid. You can get it replaced at 50-100 bucks.

the ign timing is not adjustable.

lift and support car! on the drivers side on the trans there should be a tag ! those are your id numbers!

hello there:
i would suggest going to a salvage yard to locate the emblem or you might even be able to find it on ebay motor but if no luck there you may need to go to the dealership and have one ordered hope this helps you out sincerely D.Jones

Replace the headlamp dimmer switch if holding the directional back get these lights working properly
