Yup. Have a code reader? It may just be an unplugged sensor or something.

Antifreeze leak? - Crownvic.net

If the "In" hose came off the intake then I would chalk it up to a worn clamp, If it came off the heater core I would think blockage. Since you got it back on we can rule out the nipple separating from the intake. Clamp it... Run it and watch for a few weeks. Keep your foot off the floor until you feel really good about the repair.

Fuel pump issues - Crownvic.net
Published (2009-11-06 11:34:00)
FYI for future reference the fuel pump uses gas in the tank as "coolant". Running the car with very little fuel can lead to premature pump failure. I don't remember if the '03s have the schrader valve on the fuel rail but I would recommend checking your fuel pressure to make sure the pump is working like it's supposed to. You can replace your external filter to eliminate that as the problem.

Published (2009-11-06 10:19:00)
I have a Transgo kit installed in the 400 in my 57 Chevy behind a 454. However I also added some mods to the separator plate and left the check balls in place, shifts are very firm. B&M shift kit setup is quite hard on parts especially on the "street/strip" level - if the transmission lasts it's more of a testament to the durability of the transmission than the benefit of the B&M kit. There is also a bit of difference in...

I'd start by checking the hoses where the coolant runs outside of the engine and the radiator. Was the smell from the smoke strictly coolant smoke? If so the coolant might of hit your exhaust manifold and smoked or steamed up from the contact. How did the engine respond to this happening?

The flashing o/d light doesn't necessarily mean there is a problem with the overdrive, it means the trans is throwing a code.

Clean/check the MAF. Also check the functioning of the EGR if you want. If you haven't recently, change the fuel filter as it is is helpful either way. Maybe run some Seafoam through it for the heck of it.

First of all, it's not an oil LEVEL gauge, it's oil PRESSURE. Big difference. Where does the gauge stick? It's normal for the temp gauge to stay at the bottom for a good 5-10 minutes depending on the ambient temp. If it takes a long time in not-so-cold weather it may need a new thermostat. Now oil pressure should come right up to half or so on the guage upon startup. If it doesn't, you have major...

First thing you do is check the trans fluid level, It sounds like it is low of fluid.This could be a front pump problem but first check the level and feel and smell it. Burnt smell not good.Any grit in the fluid???

People on here will say Jmod. I used a shift kit kinda like the B&M and i am pretty happy with it. AKA_Rizzo is the guy you wanna talk to about this, he has done a few jmods himself. He will comment on this for sure......its one of his favorite topics.

If you have lifter noise (BTW, our motors don't have lifters), pressure problems, smoking, or hard starting due to using 5W-30 instead of 5W-20, then you have far more serious issues.

you don't post what year it is, but starting in...1996 IIRC that was added to the transmissions, 1-2 shift when manual 1 is selected. My 97 Cougar does it, I don't think it happened with the 4R70W cars before 1996, not sure about AODE cars. It is so you DON'T hurt it (as bad). If WOT 1-2 shifts were bad, I would have two busted cars for sure.
