Why won't my mercury 1996 grand marquis won't stay running?

Possibly a bad / dirty Intake Air Control (IAC) valve. It's easy to replace yourself; costs about $50 and takes less than an hour. See detailed info here...http://www.autoclinix.com/Ford/Ford_IAC.html.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
