    P0708 Transmission Range Sensor Circuit High Input
    Not a solution. That's not a typical code. Might have to take to dealer or transmission shop?

YOUR RANGE SENSOR IS BAD! IT WILL BE A BLACK BOX LOCATED ON TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION! THERE WILL BE A NUT ON TOP OF IT, AND A PLUG GOING INTO THE SIDE OF IT! IT TELLS THE COMPUTER WHAT GEAR YOUR IN, SO THE COMPUTER CAN COMPENSATE FOR THE SPEED AND TELL THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT!

My 1999 mercury cougar. Keeps on jerking when I drive. I already changed the spark plugs .and gasket. And gas filter . But it keeps doing the same. Can this be fixed.

Might start with adding some "HEAT" to your gas tank. Sounds like you got some bad gas somewhere, Good luck hope this helps.

MY 1999 COUGAR JERKS WHEN I'M DRIVING IT, WHY IS IT DOING THAT?

The wire harness for the crank senser can get into troble and make a crasy cut out miss stumble, You may have to remove the senser and unplug it, Remove the lagging cover and inspect the wire by bending it. (bends easy it's broke ). The break can be in the wire past the plug on the engine harness the wire gets hot and brittle or even oil soaked as the oil transmits heat better than air and makes the insulation get hard quicker. Lots of different cars and other engines ( chainsaws, Lawnmowers , boats, Motorcycles) Your car is old and the wires are too.
