I was doing 70mph when it died, like the ignition was turned off. The vehicle will start but wont run. When it starts it will run for a couple of seconds before dying. It will not go above 1000 rpm. I have checed the fuel pump, fuel filter, and max air flow sensor. All are good. What else could it be????

You probably have a bad head gasket. As coolant mixes with the oil, it diludes and therefore will cause your oil pressure to run high. Check your oil while warm to see if it looks like choclate milk. Check your tail pipe for white smoke. You can also rent a block tester from Autozone ($25.00 with Autozone's free loan-a-tool program) and buy the test fluid for $8.99. Take off your radiator cap and put the cone in while your engine is running an within operating range. Fill the test fluid to the fill line and squeeze the aspirator for two minutes. If the fluid turns yellow or green, you have combustion/emission gases in your cooling system. This is caused by a bad/leaking head gasket or a cracked/warped block/head. Hope this helps out.
SOURCE: i cant find an oil pan for a 96 mercury cougar
Visit www.car-part.com. You can search all over the country for junk yards who sell an oil pan for your cougar (you can also use an oil pan from a thunderbird).
