My 1998 Mercury Villager will not stay running. Replaced fuel filter first. Fuel pump had a bad wire, fuse was blown. Fixed both and van still won't stay running.

SOURCE: where is a knock sensor for 1998 Mercury Villager located?

• The sensor is mounted in a fixed position in the engine block. The tip of the sensor protrudes into the crankcase at a distance of 0.05 plus or minus 0.02 inch from the crankshaft.
• A crankshaft adjusting tool may be used to check these rings.
  • Place the tool on the pulley extension surface and rotate the tool around the pulley.
  • If any blade touches the tool, replace the pulley.
• Inspect the trigger wheel behind the crankshaft pulley and the sensor for damage.
• If the engine misfires all the time or on acceleration only, test the following components:
  • Engine compression.
  • Spark plugs.
  • Spark plug wires.
  • Ignition coils test for firing voltage with a test spark plug.
  • Crankshaft sensor.
  • Fuel injectors on multiport and sequential fuel injection systems.

SOURCE: Code reader knock sensor where is it located

According to the Haynes manual it is under the intake manifold, Upper and lower intake manifolds must be removed for access. If you go to Auto Zone, they have the sensor and can give you the step by step instructions to replacing the knock sensor with common tools. Good luck and hope this help.

If you have the factory alarm system, you can put your key into either door and lock and unlock the door, that signals the computer to deativate the alarm. If you have an aftermarket alarm system installed, it will have to be removed and the wiring that the alarm ties into must be restored to factory design.
