I have a 91 mercury cougar and am in the process of putting a gasquet on the fuel pump. while removing the tank a "plug" came out of another hole. not the hole that the sending unit is in. this plug has a white hard plastic center with a nipple that looks like a hose should attatch to it. it is an inch and a half in diam. and on the bottom side of this "plug" there is a visible spring. my question beings i didnt see the piece hit the ground is this should the spring be visible or does the soft plastic "cap" that i found next to it fit into the hole ...it does fit perfectly, and im not sure if this "cap" fell out of the "plug" when the "plug" hit the ground? any help would be apprieciated

you can try just resetting the fuel pump switch located in the car

the switch is originally in the car for in case of an accident, however, if changed, chances are you also have to reset it

in my 98 grand marquis, the switch is on the left side of the trunk

It sounds to me like you replaced everything but the most likely cause of a stall while driving...The crank sensor.

SOURCE: 1999 mercury cougar. won't start...cranks...battery ok.

V6 ? 4CYL? Have you verified SPARK? Did anyone check the "fuel pump inertia switch?" Its in the right front kick panel. If it was a "Anti-theft Issue" the light would be on or flashing.
