2001 Lincoln LS V8 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Question edited for clarity and turned around. Question moved to model category. This says on the rear of the inlet manifold. https://www.google.com/search?q=2001+Lincoln+LS+V8+3.9.+Where+is+my+motor+ground+cable ..

No. Not like older cars had. Starting in 2000 it moved to the overflow coolant reservoir. It's a big, black cap with yellow lettering. After adding coolant, make certain you screw on until it clicks. (Its a pressure cap.)

Could be, could be weak fuel delivery, weak coil pack

I guess I would start by taking the valve covers back off. Whoever replaced the gaskets should be responsible.

Simply check all fuses.

Do this: Hope this helps.

yes. I assume you are referring to the charging system

I think I'd recommend that, too.

1) Reset the ignition timing according with the instruction manufacturer.2) Test the primary and secondary circuite from ignition systemSee the diagrams attached. God bless you

Front steering / suspension is only as good as its weakest link. There are many components working together that can be problematic here is a list of liikely culprits & things to check, tried to put easy stuff first:

• tire pressures
• steering fluid
• worn/loose steering rack
• tie rod ends
• column u-joints
• suspension - struts, joints, bushes components & integrity

Drop the exhaust Remove the drive shaft

Hi Aaron, I'm glad to help! Aaron, anytime a fuse blows in any circuit its because that CIRCUIT has a dead short to ground somewhere in that circuit. You need to find out everything that fuse 11 goes too. Once you know all the components that circuit 11 goes to you'll need to unplug one component at a time until the fuse does not blow and replace that component (PART). NOTE: If after checking each part one at a time and the fuse still blows, then its time to check the wiring going to each individual component because it is shorting out somewhere against a metal object. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Aaron.

Invalid Code on a Lincoln L/S 2003 up Cylinders on Fords go A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 PO301,PO302,PO303 etc All the same thing PO308,Number 8 & on other fords H---are the same

Hi Aaron, I'm glad to help! Aaron, see if the fuse blows when you turn the key to the on position without trying to start it. If it does then it could be anything on that circuit. NOTE: If in fact it only blows when you try to start the engine then your problem is in the "START-RUN-CIRCUIT" which mean you have a dead short in either the wiring or something on that circuit. If you find it is on the start run circuit then disconnect the starter and see if it still blows the fuse. CAUTION: When disconnecting the starter always unhook the negative battery cable first then rap the power wire with a rag or tape so it doesn't ground out on the engine and cause more problems. Now that you've disconnected and rapped the starter wires reconnect the negative battery cable and try to start the engine, if the fuse doesn't blow then replace the starter. If the fuse does blow then reconnect the starter remembering my caution. NEXT: Disconnect the Alternator using caution and try to start the engine if it blows the fuse replace the alternator, if it doesn't blow the fuse then you have a direct short in the wiring somewhere in that circuit. Start looking for frayed wiring that could be grounding out on the engine. Hope this help and have an awesome day Aaron.

check that the wheel nuts are tight and that the stud holes in the rim are not worn. Check that you have the correct wheel nuts for the rim . Check and adjust wheel bearings.

disconnect battery for 5 minutes then reconnect this will reset computer

disconnect both the computer and alt power supply. reconnect and try that. No help seek a shop

I assume that you are talking about the OBD II connection. This is located drivers side under the dash, right around where the brake pedal is. Climb down on the floor and stick your head up there. It should be seen pretty easily

TRANSMISSION FLUID

Checking automatic transmission fluid

The 5R55N transmission does not have a transmission fluid dipstick.

Refer to your scheduled maintenance guide for scheduled intervals for

fluid checks and changes. Your transmission does not consume fluid.

However, the fluid level should be checked if the transmission is not

working properly, i.e., if the transmission slips or shifts slowly or if you

notice some sign of fluid leakage.

Transmission fluid should be checked and, if required, fluid should be added by a qualified technician.
