What causes my Mk to raise up in the rear. The front started to go down after sitting awhile, but comes up after the car is started. Then I noticed that the back is way up and it stays that way. What do I need to do to fix it??

    Greetings I currently own several Mark VII BB edtion and LSC's, I have delt with all the supention woe's and still will not convert to springs I'm totally hooked on the ride anyway usually when you start to experience this issue it a voltage issue, I have found that if the battery falls below 12.2 volts the air ride computer sometime freaks out which leads me to the other issue, the air ride computer which is located in the trunk. I solve my most recent issue by replacing that unit. YOu may also have a leaking bag or solenoid on the front of the car, usually after the ignition is off and you get out and close the doors you will see and hear the silonoid advance to let the air out, this is normal however is only for a few seconds on each wheel. The question is how many time do the hear the compressor come on while driving?

You probably have a bad or broken ride height sensor.

Intermitten non start on 1996 grand am, after sitting starts no problem.

The most likeyl cause is a faulty fuel pressure regulator, when the regulator diaphragm fails the vehicle is initially hard to start after sitting awhile, no fuel pressure bleeds down and needs to built back up before starting. An easy test is to removed the vacuum has at the regulator, if fuel is present, the regulator is defective.

What makes my 2002 Pontiac Firebird grind when driving and/or turning?

Sounds like a wheel bearing. Jack up front end and spin wheels by hand and listen for grind. Same for rear wheels. Make sure brake linings are good all around. Do the swerve test. Drive down road bout 40mph and swerve moderately one side to other. If noise gets louder with weight shifted to one side more than other its most likely a wheel bearing.

I had my rear suspension fixed but noticed when I park the front end goes down only when parked. It raises when I start the vehicle.

I think this car has air assist ride. Settles at rest, raises at some speed or upon start. Based on my assumption and what you said you had done, I would speculate that the rear suspension air control was not incorporated into the system.

This is a question you should ask your mechanic. BTW - I am not a Lincoln mechanic.

Thanks for your question at FixYa.com

I have a 99 ford expedition i replaced the air compressor cause the front air shocks were bad and ruined the compressor. and teh rear air bags went flat now that the new compressor is in the rear wont air...

I have a 2001 Expedition, I don't have air bags in the front, the compressor don't work the air shocks. You have rear leveling. When they replaced the (compressor) did they turn the leveling switch back on. you may have air shocks connected to the compressor. Did the rear go down right after or over a couple of days. If the switch is on, turn it off and jack the rear up quiet a bit, make sure both side are quiet equal with each other, like it would be if it where raised by the air bags. Turn your level switch back on with it jacked up or sitting on stands. It may have went down so much that the compressor can't raise them back up.

I have a 1988 Bronco II 4x4 and it will go in all 5 gears and reverse, but it will not move. It bogs the motor down and quits. Should I start with the transfer case?

can you put it in neutral and roll it around if not start at the corners and work your way in.also check to see when its in gear and you try to move it see if it lifts or lowers in the rear as you release the clutch.if it lifts the problem is probably in the front if it sinks its in the rear.hope this gives you a spot to start looking

The rear suspension is down on my 1999 Ford Expedition - Eddie Bauer. The cause: while out in the woods I came across a small dip which cause my back left wheel to lift off the ground. The suspension...

I had a 1999 Expedition. When you put the 4x4 on it raises the vehicle an extra inch or 2.
It may help to turn the 4x4 off. Two wheel drive is a lower air setting.
Your original pump may still be good. The problem can be in the front. The compressor is not filling the front suspension to the cutoff point. It will lift the rear after the front end is at running height. Since you lost the front end first, the remaining air bled out there and then the rear came down. Once you shut down the car the suspension was done, all the air was let go.
There are adjustment solenoids on the body but you need someone qualified to repair this.

Electrict roof warning light aluminates and roof won't rase

The problem is most likely a faulty micro-switch, on the driver's side, under the tonneau cover. Unfortunately, it's impossible to accurately diagnose without a Bentley diagnostic computer, which will have to be performed at a Bentley dealer. As for the windows, the proper way to program the "one-touch" windows is to start with the front. Fully raise the front windows, release the switch, then hold it in the up position for a few seconds (you will hear the door module/window motor click) then fully lower the window, release the switch, and hold it in the down position for a few seconds. This will program the front windows, now do the same in the rear. Low battery voltage will usually cause the windows to lose their programming. You should have the vehicle attached to a Bentley battery tender whenever it is going to sit longer than a few days. The vehicle has 2 batteries, one only starts the car (right-side/start battery), the other (left-side/main battery) runs all of the electronics. Most people think, as long as the car starts, the battery is ok. That is not so with these vehicles. The car will start, even if the main battery is totally dead, or vice-versa. The installed battery tender attaches to the main battery, and comes with a neatly installed wiring harness, and a AGM battery approved battery tender. This will help avoid many different annoying electrical malfunctions.
