Thanks everyone for the help. It is the IAC valve… I’m going to get and install a new one. It took me a little while to get back to my Mark viii…. The diagnostic tool that I used to identify a problem was a small hummer. My brother gave couple of gentle knocks to the IAC valve while I...

The CEL light is NOT on. I just hooked up the code reader and there is NO code.

Please help. Mark refuses to idle…. It starts OK, but I have to keep pressing the accelerator… As soon as I take my foot off the accelerator pedal, Mark goes off. Where should I look? It is 98 LSC with 196000 on the clock. Thanks, Gene

1998 Lincoln MarkVIII with 144000 miles. When unlocking the doors with a remote control or an entry keypad and opening the doors the Anti-Theft indicator (the green one) is flashing, which is correct. Then, when I turn an ignition to 'ON' position right before starting the engine, the...

If it comes to a bad tailshaft bushing would it be possible to fix it without dropping out a transmission? Does anybody have a step-by-step guide how to do this? Thanks a lot for your help

Yes, there is such a note… But our "friendly" Lincoln dealership will do damage on another $1000 not to mention grease on interior and exterior. :D

Took MAF from my brother car, disconnected the battery to reset computer while switching MAFs. No help. Took EGR solenoid from my brother car – no help. Did Seafoam yesterday, although not sure if I did it right. Took the tube (the one that connects passenger side crankcase and air intake)...

RE: P0174 and P0171 (update 8/09/06) So, yesterday I pun new PCV, cleaned MAF sensor and reset CE light. That is in addition to all new spark plugs and boots I put the other day. Did a test drive. Seemed OK. Today took it to drive to work. On my way back home I stopped by at the store for a 10...

Anyone, please, how exactly to remove PCV valve. Is it like pooling it out? Thanks, Gene 98 lsc

That is related to my early post. I just got codes popped up. car stumbles at low rpm and hesitates. I have new set of plugs and boots put on Friday. Today I got P0174 and P0171 codes. What should I look at… Car runs lean on both banks. 98 lsd 186,000 miles Thanks, Gene :(

Scott, How did you find it was #5, I have similar problem. Did you keep changing coils one by one… I described the problem in my post from 8/7 by TDNFGF Thanks, Gene

Need help, anybody. Mark is ill. The engine is missing. I changed all spark plugs and boots and as I doing that I found out that #8 plug is totally wet, not as all other. No deposit of any kind, just klean and wet. Cyl # 8 doesn’t work!!! And I don’t have any codes. ESL is not on. I have...

171,000 on my 1998 LSC. Daily driver. Gene :D :D
