Hello fellow Lincoln owners!
So, I bought a 2001 Lincoln LS to keep the miles off of my lease vehicle... good idea... maybe not.
I purchased my Lincoln LS with just over 78k miles notice a knocking sound before I purchased and thought for the price it was probably something simple like a strut or something... well big mistake! $1,000 later I was told it was the sway bar bushing... UGH! So, it has all new parts in the front suspension I guess that is good now that it has about 100k on it now.
Recently, and maybe someone can help me diagnose the problem before I take it to the dealership to get ripped off, the car has a very hard time starting and fill up with gas fumes. I also am having a problem with a strange sputtering when I am accelerating and usually going up hills. I only put 91+ octaine in the car. I am also having an issue where the battery dies very quickly, I am replacing the battery tomorrow but was also told that there is a battery saver that is bad...
Any help or feedback would be great!
Michael
