Asked by GuruXZ2KP Oct 04, 2018 at 05:35 PM about the 2002 Mercury Cougar V6 Hatchback FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I know there wasn't a question in the title. I did not
have enuff room, My question is what the hell is
going on with my car. I keep oil updated and
changed regularly. I've replaced my alternator 4
times in less then 2 years, keep all liquids up kept.
But I feel like it's useless at this point. I love my car
I'm proud of it and it has done its job greatly,
however lately I have been spending more money
into it then it's worth. I'm out of ideas and not sure
what to do to fix it. Can anyone help?

Could it be your catalytic converter that is making it lose power? Sounds like the problems I had with mine as well as the alternator

I have a 2002 Cougar 5-speed, V6 that is having a major oil problem. It's leaking on the motor & my tail pipe is completely black. Small small oil spots on the ground as soon as I put it in park but no major puddles. The smell is awful & it's smoking when I park it after driving it.
