Does it matter if you turn left or right

The shudder is either a fuel delivery issue, incorrect transmission fluid, or bad coil packs. I own a 97 mercury cougar xr7 and I have a shudder. My shudder was originally a fuel delivery problem . I took my car in a 200 mile trip. I came back with a god awful shudder and severe loss of power. That was all caused by my coil packs

My 2005 Thunderbird check engine light has been on for months. It has been to shop over and over. They have replaced the battery, changed some sort of sensor, the gas cap is tight and I filled the tank completely and also had the oil changed. They keep saying the scanner says it needs a new map sensor but they then checked with the local Ford dealer who said the car doesn't have a map sensor. What's up? 5 Answers

I have a 97 Thunderbird, When I turn on the car it will turn and there seems to be a screeching sound. And then it won't turn on. However it will turn on after I turn the key 2-4 times. Once it's on it runs awesome, it's just the start up that sounds bad. The starter has already been replaced so I don't think that's the problem, but again I'm not a mechanic so I can't say for sure. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 4 Answers
