The Crown Victoria has a 4.6L engine first of all next how was the running condition before this happened? If it was normal no check engine light on and idling fine then check the emissions lines from the tank to the evaporative canister also check the idle air control valve hose this valve is metal and looks like a vacuum cleaner power head or a hammer head shark yes I said that you can go to rockauto.Com and look up the vehicle then the part to see what it looks like anyway also check the throttle body clean it with spray ///////now obviously I'm not there to see what's going on with the car and only you know how you went in the ditch there's a emissions line with a plastic fitting around the engine crossmember on the rear side of the engine and transmission this may have broken and is letting outside air into the system I know on a 97 it's there cause it happened to me might still be there but I'm not sure still all the lines and hoses must be checked under the car the emissions canister and valve is uder the trunk you ll see a metal cover over it with hoses going in it take the cover bolts out don't worry about the bolts there going to break from rusting out you can get regular bolts / nuts / washers to hold the cover on/////// also is the car driving in all gears and not slipping in and out of gear if yes good if not the shifter cable at the bracket on the transmission is separated from the cover and lug that holds it in place and this will make the transmission go in & and out of gear into neutral making the idle rpms go up and back down when it's in the right position if so you must replace the shifter cable it can't be fixed also check the motor mounts if you broke one the engine moved and is pulling on the cable from the gas peddle good luck stephen

when you hold the accelerator does the vehicle stay running? if so the problem is in ithe IAC idle air control motor, take a small screw driver and using the handle tap the iac motor and usualy the motor will kick in and the vehicle will run fine then if the problem is rectified replace the IAC
SOURCE: what type of oil should i put in my 1993 crown victoria
I would really have to recommend that you use a HIGH mileage synthetic blended oil.
As with many older cars, the seals and rings in the engine might have never been replaced and will begin leaking compression and thereby giving you a significant loss of power and acceleration. Also with older engines, when oil is allowed to seep past the piston rings into the combustion area of the block where "fuel meets the fire" it will create a gray smoke in your exhaust that is not good for the environment. You see oil does not have the same ignition temperature as vaporized fuel does and there for does not burn off completely when the spark plug ignites during the compression stroke of the engine cycle.
As for a synthetic oil I would suggest, I like using Castrol Syntech blend. Now it will cost you about 2x what a regular quart of oil does, but it will be well worth it.
I would make a suggestion though, if you have not had the engine cleaned, do yourself a favor and purchase a quart of Wynn's Engine Flush and pour it into your engine prior to performing the next oil change and run the engine for about 5 minutes (DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR!) then drain the oil and install a NEW high quality oil filter and fill the oil back to where it should be on the dip stick.
The Wynn's Engine Flush is designed to breakdown and remove the sludge and varnish from the inside of the engine, from the cylinders and the values as well as from the oil pump and oil pickup screen. The new oil filter will trap the sludge from the engine within a few hundred miles. After about 500 miles, I would suggest that you replace the oil filter again with a new one. You do not need to drain and replace all of the oil again. Just make sure that you replace the oil that drains out of the filter with new synthetic oil.
You should see a significant increase in fuel mileage and engine performance. While you are performing your next oil change, be sure to replace the FUEL FILTER with a new one as well as the AIR CLEANER. I would also suggest that you go ahead and replace the PCV Valve located on the top of the engine on the valve cover. Over time the PCV valves get clogged with dirty oil and debris and can affect engine performance by robbing the engine of power.
Hope these tips help you out.
Cheers,
Keith

This means that either the switch on the column is bad. It is that, or, the wiper motor is bad.
SOURCE: cylinder 4 misfire on a 2000 crown victoria interceptor
first cylinder 4 is the last on the passenger side . first pull the coil out and check if there is water where the plug is. if there is take the water out and dry up the coil. if you find water you got a crack manifold or a bad intake manifold gasket. if there is no water replace the coil. good luck
