| 1994 Mercury Cougar XR-7 4.6L MIL Lamp on VIN: 1MCLM62W7R The code has not returned after 1500 miles or so. The OEM Motorcraft PCV did the trick. After 37 years this is not the first time I've seen PCV issues so it all makes sense. Thanks to all of you who took the time to help me out. Trouble codes: P1505 (IAC has exceeded adaptive clip limits). |
