Sounds to me like the PCM might be corrupting the EGR flow and causing backfourced resonance in the air box.... I would get a PCM from a reputable salvage yard and give that a try.
Better than a Ford, but not yet a Lincoln.

I am trying to understand how that might be. I'd a thunk that the way those intake manifold runners are designed and then to resonate back past the throttle blade....... that it wouldn't happen. Is the EGR being commanded at the wrong time, do ya think?

i'm thinking that there was an issue with the air tubes that run down behind the engine. i remember replacing hoses on cruisers before.

Ford had a TSB to address noise issues from the IAC. Not sure it applied to Crwon Vics but have fixed a bunch of rangers and Explorers.

i had a 93 crownvic w motor. I know what noise you are hearing. I had that also. just bout the same time my abs thing went. everytime i hit the brakes going forward, the abs would activate. not oly would i get that vibration in the brake pedal, it would also sound like a huey taking off under the hood. going in reverse no abs issues or huey noise. so i removed the abs main fuse and no problems. also no abs.
