The Mercury Montego utilizes a crankshaft position sensor (CKP) in order to regulate the engine timing. This sensor uses a reluctor to gauge the position of the crank. When the Montego’s ECM determines that the signal coming from this sensor is out of range, it’ll throw the P0336 trouble code. P0336 is most commonly caused … Read more
P0308 is a fairly common trouble code with the Mercury Montego. It’s and OBD2 code and means that a misfire has been detected in the 8th cylinder in the firing order. You should only be seeing this code if you have an engine with at least 8 cylinders. So, it’s mostly a code for … Read more
P0307 is a fairly common trouble code with the Mercury Montego. It’s and OBD2 code and means that a misfire has been detected in the 7th cylinder in the firing order. You should only be seeing this code if you have an engine with at least 7 cylinders. So, it’s mostly a code for V8 … Read more
P0125 is a generic OBD-II code. If your Mercury Montego has registered it, means that the ECM/PCM is getting a signal from the engine coolant temperature sensor (ECT) that the engine is not warm enough to enter closed loop fuel control. P0125 is usually caused by a bad thermostat, low coolant, or a bad ECT … Read more
P0191 is a common OBD-II code. It indicates that the fuel rail pressure sensor is receiving a signal that is outside of its normal range. This is a generic code, which indicates that it has the same meaning for the Mercury Montego as it would any other vehicle. P0191 is typically caused … Read more
P0123 is a relatively common OBD-II code. It’s generic, which means it has the same meaning for the Mercury Montego as it would any other vehicle. It’s an OBDII code that references issues with the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). It is relatively serious problem since it can leave your vehicle stranded or severely limited. The … Read more
P0332 is a powertrain related OBD-II trouble code. It has the same meaning for the Mercury Montego as it would any other vehicle. By definition, P0332 means that the vehicles ECM/PCM is getting a signal that is lower than the defined operational range from the knock sensor (Sensor 2 | Bank 2). Clearing this code … Read more
P0327 is a powertrain related OBD-II trouble code. It has the same meaning for the Mercury Montego as it would any other vehicle. By definition, P0327 means that the vehicles ECM/PCM is getting a signal that is lower than the defined operational range. Clearing this code typically requires a new knock sensor or correcting … Read more
Your Mercury Montego’s door ajar message can help you get a door all the way closed when you otherwise wouldn’t notice when it was open. Over the life of the vehicle, it is possible for the door ajar warning to stay on even when the doors are, in fact, not ajar. The door … Read more
Transmissions are an integral part of any vehicle, and overheating can lead to costly repairs or even permanent damage. Mercury Montego owners should be aware of the common symptoms and causes of transmission overheating to prevent potential issues and ensure their trucks remain strong and reliable. In this article, we will discuss the common causes … Read more
