our 88 ford ltd crown vic??????????? Help please and serious answers only?

Question

my husband and i have a 88 ford ltd crown victoria and we just had it serviced and they replaced the modular to the distributor in the ignition and the battery also had to be replaced when i picked the car up he said there was nothing else wrong with it, now every time i make a hard turn the car quits and sometimes it takes me three trys to get it to start. is this normal for the age of this car or could it be our starter is going out? also when we try to start sometimes it makes a grinding noise? any help would be greatly appreciated... thank u and god bless

Answer 1

it does sound like the starter going out on it,but it shouldn't die on you when make a hard turn with it,that a totally different problem all together,id have i re-checked,there's something causing it to die like that ,but the starter is normal for them to go bad once in a while,but have the car checked out,it shouldn't die like that,just from cutting the wheels on it,good luck with it.

Answer 2

There are a lot more parts that impact starting a car than a battery and ignition. You also have to check fuel lines, spark plugs, etc. However, the grinding problem might be completely unrelated to the car not starting.

I would maybe start thinking of saving some money for a newer car. Even if this car does get repaired, that money could be used for a downpayment on a new/used car AND/OR its only a matter of time before this one kicks the bucket (and potentially lost assets put into it).

Very few must have read this questions and very few answered it though I am also among them a citizen of America before an Indian as we cannot stay a citizen of two countries because being American resident we are no more Indian but we can visit our mother land for ever and are free to live there too loosing all benefits if we stay longer I think , Every body loves peace and hate a place where there is no security . when I see terrorism is a global problem every body should play his or her role . When Malala a muslim girl can fight for education of girls ,when a child wants his or her freedom a terrorist lives in terror and not free from its consequences ,a day would come when people would come forward to wipe it from human minds but it is too late already , there are so many means of destruction to wipe whole humanity if necessary action is not taken sooner . I am too small to take any action ,but all kind of violent films should be removed from media so that we do not have access to them through any means . People can rent these kinds of movies for couple bucks and get up to fight with family members then to next neighbor then at work then somewhere at shopping mall ,then wherever he does not think right triggered by media and resources he can access from cafes and star buck who give this freedom so easily . Then we try to calm the mind which is already bombarded with so much negative information all over the world .

Answer 4

sadly you seem to have many problems with it. sometimes repairmen just change parts "Hoping" they solved the problem....for sure the grinding noise on starting is a tooth or worn teeth on either the starter or the gears inside....as far as the car shutting off and wont start seems more like a fuel issue not electrical...check your fuel filter first then fuel pump

Answer 5

I would suggest taking it back to where ever you had the work done,it sounds like the wiring harness is loose or a poor connection to the distrbutor ignition module,get them to recheck their work.

Answer 6

yep you got it the starter is going out . nice huh after spending all that money for the other stuff . sounds like you need a new car cause that one is nickeling you to death . when they get old they nickel and dime you to death . good luck and really do think about getting another car .

Answer 7

ask for a code scan or if you know some one that has a scanner.
scanners for that year aren't as expensive as used to be.
