    I appreciate your answering my question. I understand the procedure, and have removed all the stuff that is listed, but I just can't get the valve cover off. It appears to not have enough clearance to the rear against the firewall and all the hoses in the rear. Is there a trick to getting it off? I thought the motor mount would not have to be unbolted, but now I am wondering if that is not true.

    I posted a excerpt from the manufactures procedures. However i prefer to raise the engine, remove the motor mount and then let it all the way down. in any case its a real trick to get the valve cover back in with the gasket in place. i usually put a tiny bit of rtv in several spots then set the gasket and let it dry before trying to install the v cover. Good luck bud.

You will first need to remove the plastic piece behind the inner door handle that you use to pull the door shut with and there should be a 10mm bolt inside there behind the insulation. The plastic cover behind the inner door lever handle will need to come out. It's only in with clips. Remove the reflective lens on the end of the panel and you will see a phillips head screw inside. It's a long screw so be ready for many turns to get it out. Next, your power window controls will need to come out and they are only snapped into place but be careful with them because plastic prongs can be broken off if not pried out in the right direction. The same goes for the door lock switch. Unplug both once out. You will also see a triangle plastic piece (can break easily) towards the front top side of the panel. Make sure it clears it's way out when removing the panel. The rest of the panel is held up with downward facing plastic clips. Sounds hard but really it's all pretty simple. Study the back of the panel before putting it back on and take your time.

SOURCE: Leaky valve cover valve on passenger side on 1996 Nissan Pathfind

no such thing as a valve cover valve. you have a leakey valve cover and you replace the gasket, if you do one do both they come in a kit. also to do that job you have to do the intake gasket and plenum gasket as well. about $150.00 in parts maybe 5 hours labor

SOURCE: Trying to figure out where

Sounds like a slight leak on the cylinder head gasket or timing gear seals. Remove the timing cover plate to give you a better view of the problem. If its something like the heads, then get a professional to do it. If its in the timing section, you can do it yourself with the help of a Hanes or Chiltons manual for your car. Check the oil pan. That one is common on camrys.

Fuse box location on 96 lincoln

Lincoln produced three cars in 1996; the Continental, Mark VIII and Town Car. All three models have an instrument panel fuse panel (also called a dash fuse panel) located under the driver's side of the instrument panel. The Continental and Mark VIII additionally utilize a power distribution box on the driver's side of the engine compartment, near the battery. The Town car also has an engine compartment fuse box, however it is located on the passenger's side of the engine compartment, near the battery. You can find illustrations of these locations as well as procedures for how to check fuses and how to replace the fuse boxes here: https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-to-replace-your-car-fuse-box-by-jessica-howe

Want to change spark plugs....cannot see them in the engine? Where are they and how do I get to them??

I suggtes start removing the plastic cover over the engine. Then, in the passenger side, remove the intake tube and the resonator. Follow the wires until you see them go underneath a cover attached to the valve cover by 4 bolts. Remove that, and there are the plugs.

You'll need a extention to get to them, as they're deep in there. On the driver side, you'll see some electronics in your way and possibly the PCV hose. Just remove that, remove the cover again, and there are the other 4.

Keep in mind this firing order for 1997 Lincoln Mark VIII 4.6 liter DOHC V-8 VIN "V"...

1996 EXPLORER This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to include the 1995 4.6L Thunderbird/Cougar. ISSUE: After a 1-4 hour engine soak time, long crank times and/or long crank to start followed by a stall may occur on some vehicles. No further stalling or rough idle will occur after the engine is running. The long crank and/or stall may be due to the Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve sticking.
ACTION: Replace the IAC Valve with a revised IAC Valve if no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are present. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
  1. Perform normal diagnostics and correct any DTCs as required by referring to the appropriate year Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) Service Manual.
  2. If no codes are present, replace the IAC Valve by referring to the appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 03-14. Refer to the following Idle Air Control Valve Application Chart for proper IAC usage.

Fuel Filter Location

The fuel filter for a mark VIII (at least in my 1993), is behind the wheelwall on the front passenger side of the car. You will need to take the wheel off and also take off the black covering by pulling out the plastic mounts and metal screws. as soon as those are removed, you will not miss the filter mounted to the inside left of the wheelwell

Idle

You need to change out the IAC valve and also the TPS sensor. The IAC is right beside the throttle body and is held in with 2 bolts. The Throttle position sensor is right on the back side of the throttle body and plugs in from the underside. Four 8mm bolts hold the throttle body down and will need to be removed to change both parts. Make sure to get a new TB gasket. This will fix your idle problem 100%.
