View 5 RepliesLincoln - Towncar :: Check Engine Light Came On - Emission Leak
1997 Lincoln Town Car, We had an accident three years ago in which the right rear wheel was destroyed and the axle bent. They were replaced. . Shortly afterwards the check engine light (emission leak) came on. My local mechanic thought he found and repaired the problem. It came on again. We changed the gas cap. No dice. The local Lincoln dealer did a smoke test and decided the problem is the SOLENOID ASSEMBLY CANISTER VENT. But the part is obsolete. An after market part did not solve the problem and neither did a used part the dealer installed. The car operates normally but I won't be able to pass inspection.

Replacing oil pan. It is a 1997 town car with the V8 4.6.The other mechanic told them that the pan is rotting through and it's not just a weeping gasket.
I have not had the chance to get this car to my shop, so I have not gotten a look at it.I'd just like to know what I will get involved with before I see the owners and the car.
how extensive this will be to get the engine up high enough to pull the old pan out.I'm hoping that I can just unbolt the motor mounts and jack the motor up a bit if need be.
Lincoln - Towncar :: Slippery Transmission When It Comes To A Very Little Hill Not Taking The Gear
Recently did Transmission rebuild soon after noticed that it's slippery. When I start the car in the morning it's not rolling as it should. I let it worm little like 3minutes then start driving but still it's slippery when it comes to a very little hill not taking the gear. After driving on the straight road for 4-5 blocks then its fine no problem at all. Only when car gets cold this issue happen.

I got in to the 92 Lincoln, shifted into drive, and noticed transmission slippage. I checked the transmission fluid. The fluid did not smell burned but was under the add a pint line. I added fluid to the full line. The car is worse. As you shift into drive, then you have to race the engine to get the car to move forward. The car will go up the block but not with any speed. It seems as if it is not developing enough power to get the car to move forward. If I throw the car in reverse, it drives normal. Is it time to sell the car to the demolition derby?

Lincoln Towncar :: When Try To Start After Getting Gas Car Is Dead
I have a 2003 Lincoln Towncar. About once a month when I get gas and try to start after, the car is "DEAD"!!! The battery is OK and all the gauges come on but no sound-not a click! I have replaced the battery and the starter (twice), but my mechanic doesn't have a clue. After about 5-10 minutes the car will start.

View 2 RepliesLincoln - Towncar :: Engine Clicking And Vibrations?
I have a 2006 Lincoln zephyr. 3.0l v6. With fwd. I bought the car off Craig's list, from a private owner.
When I got it, back brakes were complete crap. Looks like never changed. Put on new rotors, new pads. The car was still vibrating, and making noises from the tires. Changed front brakes and rotors. Car was jerking when braking or at really slow speeds (0-15mph) even the jerking goes away, the vibration was still there. Went to ntb today, they changed my oil, rotated tires, and balanced front tires. The jerking gradually got better, I can't say it's there at all. As for vibration, still there, and tires in back are still a little loud. Someone told me my rim is bent? That does sound like something that could be causing this?? Another thing I have noticed is that the jerking in the car and the vibration get worse after driving for a while or when my sound system has been on for a while. Another thing today, after the oil change, I got home, and noticed a clicking sound coming from the engine. Seems as if the clicking starts after the car has been driven a little bit, then stays on until you turn it off and let it sit for a while
What it could be? IS MY CAR drive able?

View 1 RepliesLincoln - Towncar :: Heater Went Out - Air Flow Blocked
I have a 2001 Lincoln Towncar with 122k on it. The heater went out this winter and I took it to a guy that replace the blower motor. The blower was not the problem. He then replaced the main control unit in the dash. That made the blower work on all speeds as I can hear it running. The problem is, there is NO air movement from any of the vents on any settings. When switched to def, vent, heat I can hear it switching but nothing happens and I have a complete lack of airflow. I looked for a filter on the firewall that may be blocked and it appears to be missing, or this car doesn't require one?

When the car is in drive, just about every time I press on the gas pedal, I hear a squeak, supposedly from the gas pedal. I think the only place this could squeak is the pivot of the gas pedal. I have tried numerous time to lubricate this pivot but no success. The last step would be to purchase the replacement part (gas pedal assembly) and install.

The car hadn't been used in a while, and I stupidly stepped on the parking brake. Now it won't release. It's a push on/push off, but it won't clear even when pushing it to the floor. How do I get it to release? I don't know a lot about cars.
