Here are some common causes and solutions to your problem.

1. wheel alignment. go to your nearest tire service center and have your wheel alignment and wheel camber checked.
2. Tire pressure. perhaps the tire pressure in your left tire is much lower than the pressure on the right tires.
3. if your vehicle is a rear wheel drive vehicle, although very uncommon, the problem can be on the differential. differential is the device that makes the movements on your wheels syncronized even during on turns.

What will cause a 2001 mercury cougar to pull hard to the left? We already changed lower ball joints, caliper, bearing hub assembly, and outer tie rods.What's your problem?

Could be air in system and right side not applying brakes. Also the internal rubber in brake line where solid metal line attaches to can deteriorate and form a blockage for brake fluid to not reach caliper on right side.

Car pulls when accelerating

take it back they have not set it up correctly. its alway best to do wheel alignment on new tyres, defects in worn tyres affect the alignment.

My 97 Cougar idles at about 1500 RPM at a stop and will accelerate to 40mph without applying the accelerator? Seems to bea problem at higher speeds too. What could be causing this?

Could be a faulty IAC (Idle Air Control) motor. Get this checked out because it will wear out your brakes quick, not to mention fuel mileage, Good luck, Gary

99 Cougar Acceleration

It could be the MAF (mass air flow) sensor. Once the engine warms up it starts to use all of the sensors to operate the engine. Try unplugging the sensor to see if that restores some of your lost power.

Jerking & powerloss during acceleration

Unfortunatley, there are many problems with this model. "google" Cougar and youwill find many unhappy people. Open windows will get the inside of the car wet, but will not affect the gas. It sounds like a bad tranny, but try some drygas first.

Clunking noise in front under acceleration. If rolling in neutral no noise, accelerate under load, hear clunking noise from left front

99% a motor mount which should run about $100 to replace or the left front axle which will run you about $150

2000 Cougar stalling/lunging fwd. upon acceleration

sounds like your transmission. if the fluid is red or in your case, a really dark red almost brown, then it is your transmission. you might be able to catch it in time to have the leak fixed and save the transmission.
