A: sounds like you need a window regulator. most of the time when the cable is not connected it is broken.
Q: How do I find compatible more powerful engine for my 97 ford crown victoria???
I would like to put a bigger more powerful engine in my 97 ford crown victoria. I would like a 5.0 Mustang engine but i don’t know what to do or look for. Can someone help me???
A: I doubt you could put a 5.0 without having to switch all your wiring system over. But you can look around for the interceptor engines that the cops use in their crown vics. And to really give it balls, try to find their transmission as well.
Q: How come the police version of the Ford Crown Victoria are taxi’s? (See below)?
So I was in Chicago yesterday and I notcied a taxi. It was a ford crown victoria. I noticed the “Police interceptor” badge on the rear of the taxi. Then I saw that lightbulb on the drivers side thats above the rearview mirror. Why would a taxi have one of those lights on their cars that police use for finding fleeing-foot suspects? COuld this have been a donated car that was previously a taxi?
A: Because the Police Interceptors are built with heavy duty components (suspension, engine, cooling, etc.). Rather than having Ford build a separate model for taxi service, they just used PI models. I don’t think the spotlights are really used, they just come on the PI models.
Q: Which is a better overall car, Ford Crown Victoria LX or Chevy Caprice Classic?
I am looking to get either one of these cars for myself, I would use it everyday. Which is more reliable, safe, better looking, cheap to maintain, comfortable riding, powerful, cooler, better w/ gas, etc..
For the following years:
Ford Crown Victoria Lx (1995-1997)
Chevrolet Caprice Classic(1991-1996)
And I’m only interested in the civilian versions, the police package ones have lousy interiors.
A: You also should compare car insurance quotes for cars before buying one, for example here – carquotes.sinfree.net
Q: does the gas tank have to be dropped on a 2004 ford crown victoria to replace the fuel pump?
does the gas tank have to be dropped on a 2004 ford crown victoria to replace the fuel pump?
A: Yes the tank has to come down to replace the pump.
Q: Why is the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor so popularly used even though it is so slow?
The newer Crown Victoria Police Interceptor has a 250 hp V-8 engine and accelerates 0-60 mph in nearly 9 seconds…8.75 seconds to be exact. Meanwhile, a V-6 Toyota Camry goes 0-60 in only 5.9 seconds. I know there is a weight difference between these two vehicles, but clearly using a different engine would make it a non-issue.
Why are the Police Interceptors outfitted with such small V-8 engines that render such slow acceleration?
A: Its very cheap to buy. Its very cheap to maintain. Its very durable because its got a full frame. Its got a lot of room for their computers, equipment, losers in the backseat.
Your Camry isn’t going to hold all that stuff. Its not going to take the abuse. Its going to cost more to buy.
If required the police have faster vehicles for high speed chases. They also have many cars, radios, and in larger cities helicopters.
Q: How much trunk space does a Ford Crown Victoria have?
It is a possibility that i get a Crown Victoria as my first car, and was wondering how much trunk space it has.
A: its about a ten body trunk. lol. but seriously the trunks are HUGE on those cars, that’s one reason the cops use them. they have to put a lot of equipment in the trunks like: radios, computers, safety gear, and cleaning equipment among other things.
Q: How can you retrieve the keycode on a 2002 Ford Crown Victoria?
I know the dealer can get it. But I been told that they usually have printed somewhere on the car. Does anyone happen to know where the code might be printed on a 02 crown victoria; its an LX model.
Trying to save some money
A: Gear box is correct………The code is under the door panel on the driver side door
Q: Can I install a limited slip differential in my 97 Ford Crown Victoria?
I have a low-mileage Crown Victoria, 1997. A good car, but now I live in hilly Pittsburgh and I really would like to have better traction in the winter! Was there a limited-slip rear end made for the 97 Crown Vic, and could that be installed in my car?
A: Yes, a limited slip or “Traction-Lok” carrier can be installed in place of the non-locking rear end. Just look into any Ford Motorsport catalogue and you’ll see them readily available. The price from Ford Motorsport will be significantly less than one purchased through the Ford dealer parts department. If you want to go cheaper than that, just source a used one out of any Ford product equipped with an 8.8″ rear end. Installation is just a direct bolt-in. Just make sure the backlash and ring gear tooth contact pattern is correct after installation. Don’t forget to add the friction modifier additive afterwards. Hope this helps.
Q: How much should it cost to have cruise control installed on my 2004 Ford Crown Victoria?
ive got a ford Crown Vic and i am tired of not having cruise control on my car, i thought it should come with it because its a retired cop car and it seems like they would want that on there anyway. but im just wondering how much it should cost to get it installed so i dont get ripped off. thanks!
A: You will need to install a steering wheel, and servo and cable assembly. Price can be around 5 to 7 hundred with new parts and labor, but labor rates are totally different from noth to south and east to west, so it could be cheaper down southeast and more north east. Junk yard parts would be the best way to go. Here is a site just for all your Police car cruise control questions.

10 points would be nice
Q: How do you feel about the Ford Crown Victoria Lx?
Im 16 and found a 1997 ford crown vic LX, I know that they are very reliable and safe, but what do you think of them as far as looks, style, interiors and power. Also im not interested in the police version of this car because they have crappy interiors. Thanks!
and I would keep it all stock, big rims and sound systems are a waste of time and money and just look ridiculus.
A: As you said: they are reliable and safe. They are a proven design in police and fleet service, with lots of aftermarket support; Ford has built a boatload of these cars over the past 18 years (2 model generations). And, because the model is popular with an older demographic, you can often find used examples at a reasonable price that have been maintained and treated pretty well. They are generally cheaper to insure than other models owing to their classification, size and theft rates.
The 4.6 V8 is pretty bulletproof, easy to service and there are plenty of tuning kits and performance parts available because it’s common to the Mustang. I like their looks versus the corresponding GM and Chrysler models.
The police version does come with quite a few performance / heavy service goodies you don’t get with an LX, e.g. higher HP engine, heavier springs, shocks, transmission, brakes, bigger alternator, etc. But the creature comforts don’t match the LX.
One option I would avoid is the automatic climate control system. These are no more trouble-prone on the Crown Vic than on any other model, but Ford buries the controls on these deep in the dash – such that they are almost impossible to service. Dealer charges big bucks for labor on this job; I am the voice of experience on this.
The Crown Vic is a good, solid car with a lot of potential; you could do lots worse, and you could sure make one a fun first-car project.
Good luck!
Q: How can I install 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis side body trim on to a 2000 Ford Crown Victoria?

I need to what tools and supplies that I will need for this job also.
A: WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY!

Q: Chevrolet Suburban VS. Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor?
I’m deciding on what car to buy between a Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceotor or Chevy Suburban. I’m really looking for speed. The police intereceptors hp ranges to about 235 on the 2003 models, with 275 pound feet of torque…. which is impressive. But the suburbans, gets 290-352 HP on the new model, with about 410 lb feet of torque. my question is, which vehicle would be able to fly faster? my dad thinks the for may be able to considering that its lighter, and that the suburban is more made for power, and the suburban is a heavier vehicle. I still think that the suburban could beat the ford with all the horses and torque it has. Is my dad right or Am I? what is your opinion? remember im looking for the fastest out of these two. thanks, tony
A: I have a Buick Roadmaster, which is similar to the Crown Vic. They have similar-sized engines and hp too. My parents have a Suburban, so I’ve driven both a lot. They’re about equal in speed. I think the Vic would be a little faster. But other things to consider is that a police car is gonna have a lot of miles, but get much better gas mileage. My Roadmaster gets up to 30mpg. A Suburban is around 15. A Vic is waaaaay more comfortable too. They’re surprisingly powerful, and faster than the Suburban. I’d go with the Crown Vic. I have a GM preference, but assuming you don’t care who makes it, go with the Vic.
