Inflating rear air springs on 1995 Lincoln Towncar
Just keep the wheels off the floor and turn the ignition on to let the compressor start filling the springs. When they have a decent amount of air in, turn it off again and lower the car to the floor and start it again to let it settle its self!
But if you do hit over heating circuit which you normally do just wait 10-15mins and it will work again.
Fuel filter
car is straining to get gas? how do you know it is a fuel problem?the first thing to test to see if it is lacking fuel would be to do a fuel pump pressure check, you will need a fuel pressure gauge. on the fuel injector rail there will be a valve. this valve is like a tire valve almost. with key off connect the gauge, you will get a little leak of gas as you screw it on. with gauge connected run hose out of the way and tape gauge to windshield and close hood, make sure not to cut or pinch hose as you close the hood. take for a ride as you watch the pressure, if pressure drops below spec then check fuel filter if filter is ok then replace the fuel pump. the correct pressure for this car would be about 42 to 45. there is another test you can also do which is with engine off. to do this test you just turn the key on without starting the engine and the pressure should be 30-45 psi.I like doing both tests, as you drive if you see the pressure drop and start loosing power then you know its a pump problem. let me know the out come. the last thing would be did you scan the computer for any stored codes?
Trunk wont close all the way
Could have an electric motor that pulls the trunk lid down, and it could be faulty. Or the latch could be damaged.
My 1997 town car is burning to much fuel not leaking it but burning it i can smell the gas when driving it
It can be several things. The engine automatically sets to a RICH mode for cold starts. It will stay in RICH until a temperature sensor warms up. There are sometimes 2 sensors with one for the dash and the other for the engine controls.Next would be a faulty fuel pressure regulator keeping the pressure too high. Or dirty fuel injectors failing to close properly.Finally, air leaks in the intake manifold will make the O2 sensors dump fuel to restore the fuel ratio. Check with water spray bottle on intake seams while engine is running.
