1998 mercury cougar rx8 155000m Hi the few problems my car is having is when I first push in the pedal it has a hesitation and won't immedieatly accelerate. It'll finally **** and take off after about a .5 to a second after pushing in the pedal. The other problem is when I try to accelerate quickly it hits 3000rpms and just stops accelerating like it has a governor or something. Some advice would be greatly appreciated!!

SOURCE: I have a 1995 mercury sable. I've it for 5

The average life of a taurus or sable transaxles is a
surprising 65,000 miles,then you have to rebuild it
I only recently read that

In the early 1990's I owned a trans repair business
& over half my work was taurus & caravans
The rest was japanese

I can not see that being the original transaxle from
1995, but I wouldn't hold out hope of any type of
simple fix

There are non to my recall ,other than a cable on
the throttle body & I don't even know if they still exist

SOURCE: Won't accelerate when i hit the gas

Does your car seem to be down in power compared to what you would consider normal? If yes, I would get the MAF checked, and probably cleaned. New one is like 400 bucks, but they are easy to clean, and then act just like new again. You just have to be careful and gentle, cause if you should happen to break one of the sensor wires, its done. Otherwise, it sounds like its in the master computer, but isn't too serious a thing. Financially wise. When you release the accelerator, does it react immediately, or do you have to depress a few times before it seems to respond? Good luck.

My 1998 mercury sable won't come out of park but

That happen to me, and A guy helped me. The problem maybe down by the brake pedal, but above the brakes you may have pulled the wires a loose with your feet, or something and the wires need to be put back together maybe with black electrical tape. Definitley have to go down to the floor, and look under where the brake pedal is.

I have a 99 mercury cougar 2.5 automatic, there is a hesitation when shifting from first to second, but shifts fine any other time. thanks for your time

I have the same problem with mine. Shifts OK if you don't push it hard, right? I think this is normal for this car. Any other issues with this car? I've been fixing mine up for a while now.

2000 mercury cougar hesitating/jerking

I had the same kind of problem and I ended up solving it by actually checking for recalls for the 2000 Cougar and when you do, you'll see that there is a fuel pump recall. I dont' know if you've already done this but I figured i'd post this and try and help out!

Much luck

2000 mercury cougar hesitating/jerking

First, disconnect neg battery cable 10 minutes and reattach to clear codes.
Lean condition means it is not getting same fuel as other side of engine.
Since you had it scanned before, try Autozone to see if new results.
You might try a TPS switch which regulates spark and fuel feed. At lower speeds EGR starts to open-you should have code for a problem there.
