    Thats exactly what happened to me yesterday. I have a 92 marquis i have named “Mya” and have had her for about a month. Anyway I got off the highway so the airflow to the engine completely vanished. When i went to hit the throttle on the exit turn i lost all power to the throttle and the car wouldnt go, so i panicked and turned it completely off. Looks like i will have to clean it up this weekend when i get some days off work. I carpool anyway so i wont be driving my baby.
    You are awesome my guy! I will return to this video this Friday!

    This is one of the best How-To videos I've ever seen on UA-cam for any genre. The angles from the video camera are perfect -- and extremely close-up -- for seeing and understanding where all parts are located. And the step-by-step by XJ Jesse is meticulous, unrushed and extremely easy-to- understand. I've been searching and searching for a How To on bringing the air filter, MAF and electronic throttle body up-to-spec and this one delivered completely. Truly excellent video! THANKS!

  • @freedomwillring6749
    @freedomwillring6749 Рік тому +8

    Thanks man, My 98"Mercury Grand Marquis would slow down and lose power and the big yellow check engine light would come on as soon as I reached a speed of 30 miles or more. I had to take the local streets and not the BQE, on my eleven mile commute to work everyday. My work day starts at 7 AM, and the traffic on the BQE can be pretty bad even at a the early hour of my commute, but it's sill not as bad as stopping on every block corner for a light or stop sign.
    I was afraid I would have to bring my car to the mechanic and they would've probably charged me an arm and a leg whether they found the problem and fixed it or not. Which would have costed me a fortune, because today's mechanics don't really fix anything, they're just more like parts replacement specialists. So even if they did get it right, and replaced my MAF sensor, and air filter, they probably wouldn't have taken the time to clean out the throttle body as you showed how to do in your video. But I doubt that they would've figured it out in the fist place because my car was testing ok, no problems, with that plug in under the dash board problem code tester device thing.
    So I first seen your video on this past Thursday night, and on my Friday night commute home, I stopped in my local AutoZone and bought the MAF cleaning spray and a new air filter you showed in your video. We had a bad weather forecast coming in for later Saturday afternoon, so I woke up early and basically did everything you showed to do exactly the same. Then I took my car on the highway and opened up the throttle to 80 without losing power, or getting a ticket, just to see if I could, and all I have to say is thanks man. My Grand Marquis is back to normal and did not lose any power going above the speed of 40 mph, as it was doing yesterday. It's snowing now, glad I finished early; for a mechanically inept person, LOL; and was able to test it b4 the snow started falling. Now I'm happy that I'll be back cruising to work; God willing; Monday morning in my "poor man's Town Car", and not my wife's high speed Japanese lawnmower, come Monday morning. Hopefully I can keep this full size car on the road another seven years which is when I'll probably retire, because what they make and call "full size" today just doesn't cut it, and I would hate to have to commute everyday feeling every inch the of road in my 22 miles I travel in my daily round trip commute, until I finally retire. Thanks again, you saved me a few Benjamin's today for sure.

  • @kermitefrog64
    @kermitefrog64 2 роки тому +8

    Thank you for the video. I have a 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis LS and yesterday I was traveling at highway speed and going down hill with the cruise control on I felt this unusually hesitation surging until the highway leveled out.

    • @bertroost1675
      @bertroost1675 Рік тому +4

      But that could just be the car adjusting itself due to the incline or decline while on cruise control. My car does this on hilly roads. You told it to go 55 so that's what it is trying to do.

    Why did you replace the K&N filter with a different brand? 2nd, why didn't you add electrode grease to help prevent moisture seepage and corrosion? Also its a good idea to clean the inside of the inlet tube. It builds up dirt and grime especially in the ribbed part.

    My 2003 twice now has just randomly stalled at a stoplight sitting in traffic. I can crank it all I want but it won't start. Then after it cools downs a bit, it will start again after some cranking. I took it to the shop a few weeks ago and it overheated on them, so they replaced the thermostat, the sensor and then the electric fan. Would a dirty throttle body or air filter cause this? It could be several things I know, but only stalling when the engine is hot and starting again once cooled down should narrow it down a bit, but if anyone has some advice, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
