With everything being high I suspect the catalytic converter; it may have even been gutted by someone previously. CO is normal for pre-converter exhaust and your O2 is switching normally. If the EGR...

Ford used to use Mercon in their older transmissions; this fluid was usually sold as Dexron/Mercon in parts stores which would seem to indicate the two were essentially the same. Some years ago Ford...

You left something off the list: Flat rate pay that rewards dangerous shortcuts and dishonesty. Other than that, everything else is spot on. I could probably write a book on this subject but don't...

E4OD/4R100 is fully electronic. Yes, it (and its successor, the 5R100 aka Torqshift) take quite a bit of fluid; about 15 quarts or so. If it's not downshifting it's not being commanded to do so by...

Mark VII is a Fox body (like the Mustang), not the Panther like the Town Cars. Also, I understand there were diesel Escorts and Tempos about the same time.
