Top 20 1998 Mercury Villager Questions & Answers

I would suggest you take the vehicle to a Good Auto Electrician and get him to repair it. The wiring loom on any vehicle is installed as a single bundle of wires so removing and replacing sections isn't usually possible. A good auto electrician will be able to diagnose and repair the broken sections without having to replace major sections of wiring.

Peal back the protective wiring cover on the wires until you can see a color of the wire in both directions. Then match the wires.

Google search the codes. Could be a hose.water pump.radiator. heater core leaking.

The bendix [cylinder ] you talk about should spin out to conntact the starter ring on the flywheel .If it is not then the starter moter wants checking out at the garage The bendix should be on the shaft closer to the starter motor,not on the end that is the end of the stroke . But some starters pull in to the starter ring and have to be installed by lifting over the starter ring on installing it .Pull in type starter motor will have the gears on the inside of bendix .[cylinder] And throw out type will have the gear on the end of the bendix [cylinder] hope i have not confused you .

Most likely, but check your oil level. Too much and the vacuum applied to the valve will suck up more oil vapors. I had a car come in that had caught fire and I had to determine the cause. It was because the engine had 8 quarts of oil in it. The extra oil went overboard onto the hot exhaust manifold...poof fire.

What are the fault codes you have read?

The brake light switch is adjustable. Before adjusting it, make sure the brake pedal is in it's full up position. Sometimes a weak return spring will be the cause.

The ECT sensor needs a power and ground to operate. It uses resistance to create a signal that is sent back to the computer. You can use a volt meter and check the plug for a 5 volt reference on one wire and the other wire will be a ground. If no 5 volt reference, look for a burned out fuse or broken/damaged wiring. A scan tool that shows data would be very helpful in knowing what the sensor is reading. The sensor may be reading properly and the problem may be due to a low coolant level or defective thermostat

The best way is to purchase a repair manual these will have the wiring diagrams in them.

Take to a Ford dealership

I'd take it to cv specialist. If you want to do it yourself, Read the repair manual, It's a job!

If the smoke coming out (the back of the car exhaust) is dark grey...then you have a oil burning problem..this will cause your oil to be low sometimes quickly...if it is leaking out, sometimes oil leaks out on to exhaust under the hood, and can burn making smoke under the hood.. If the smoke is more white, then you have a head gasket problem. If you need to jump start your car, maybe you should drive to a national chain of auto parts store...they test batteries free...and test alternators free too...If you ran too low on oil, you might have a serious engine problem like a seized or nearly seized bearing, worn rings, or nearly seized motor.

Just Google your question on line for Maf question and advance timing or adjust idle.
