Asked by Dr2800 Apr 29, 2017 at 04:09 PM about the 1984 Mercury Cougar

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So I've been trying to get my car started and it's
been a hassle I tried spraying my carbarator and I
don't think that's the problem my biggest concern
is that my car has a manual override lever to open
the gas tank which I have pulled could that be the
reason or would it be somthing else...
