Ford Crown Victoria Though they were what most people drove in the 1950s and 1960s, full-size cars like the Ford Crown Victoria are now an anomaly. But Ford's biggest sedan still offers significant virtues, including affordable V8 performance and room for six people. Today, the Crown Victoria's passenger and cargo volumes compare favorably against fashionable SUVs.

Default cold idle

I have a 96 CV P71. It runs great when the temp is warm, but gets very cold natured when the temps drop. It runs ruff and wont idle until the engine warms up, then it will run and idle just fine. Anyone have this problem before? Thanks for any help.

you have to replace a small part it has to do with how much air the motor gets when its cold it acts like a choke. you can do it yourself there are only 2 screws or bolts and it cost about 40.00. i think its called an idle or air control valve ask most any service or counterman.
