From 1967 through 1997 and continuing from 1999 to 2002 the Mercury Cougar functioned as an exclusive Mercury division vehicle despite major engineering and design transformations across its release periods. During its inception the first-generation Mercury Cougar built on the Mustang platform yet received independent styling treatment with extended dimensions to establish its own distinct model identity. In 1969 the Cougar Eliminator received prominence because it included the 351 Windsor V8 engine that provided 290 hp. The Boss 302 V8 functioned exclusively in Mustangs apart from its absence in Cougars and similarly the Boss 429 engine appeared only in restricted ways throughout Ford models. A reengineered chassis in the second-generation Mercury Cougar introduced a new wheelbase of 112.1 inches to deliver enhanced driving qualities when it entered the market in 1971. The vehicle transformed into a sport luxury car while getting power brakes added to its standard equipment together with front disc and rear drum brakes in the 1973 production run. All Mercury Cougar engines reached peak performance levels and developed friendly driver operations because of swapping 3-speed manual transmission for the 3-speed automatic transmission setup. During every year of the Mercury Cougar production cycle Mercury guaranteed consumer satisfaction through authentic component production to provide durable and trustworthy items. The brand's OEM components allow Mercury Cougar owners to maintain their cars to reach the company's goal for outstanding products that fulfill customers.

Mercury Cougar issues group into cooling and sealing, oil leak control, and ignition safety. In engine cooling, the Cougar with plastic intake manifold can crack. Coolant seeps from the front passage, then overheating appears at idle. Watch for low coolant warnings and sweet exhaust odor from steam. Confirm with a pressure test and visual dye, then replace the intake manifold. Upgraded designs add a metal front passage to prevent repeat failures. For lubrication control, the Mercury Cougar may leak at the valve cover gasket. Oil collects on the heads and smells on the hot manifold. Clean mating surfaces, verify crankcase ventilation, and install a new valve cover gasket. Retorque fasteners in sequence, then recheck for residue after heat soak. In electrical safety, some Mercury Cougar models need the updated ignition switch. Old switches overheat, risk melting, and cause intermittent stalls or equipment loss. Inspect connectors for discoloration and verify good grounds before replacement. Install the revised ignition switch and confirm starting and charging stability. Finish with a road test so the Mercury Cougar runs cool and leak free. The Cougar should idle smoothly, show steady temperatures, and keep warnings off.
