Where is speed censor on mercury cougar
My 1991 Mercury Cougar LS 3.8 4 Speed Automatic weighs in around 3800lbs.
The maximum speed of a 1971 mercury cougar RX-7 automatic 8cyl 285HP is 110 mph or 177.02kph.
As general rule speed sensors on cars were always located in the gearbox or automatic transmission. This would be the first place to start, however modern transmissions have the sensors built in and its unlikely they are user changeable.
In the back end of the transmission.
It does not have a govenor. Speed is computer controlled.
are you sure it is not tail shaft sensor. This would be for your speedometer
In the black box right beside the battery. There are 2, a high speed and low speed relay.
According to a website I was looking at : For a 1987 Mercury Cougar , 3.8 liter V6 , 4 speed automatic transmission ( 17 city / 24 highway , miles per U.S. gallon )
According to a website I was looking at : For the 1992 Mercury Cougar , 3.8 litre V6 , 4 speed automatic transmission : ( 18 city / 25 highway , miles per U.S. gallon )
Code P1506 - Idle air control valve over speed error
It is probably the resistor. I had the same problem with my 99 Cougar. It is located on the passenger side under dash. Check with Ford. I think that this part was recalled.
