2001 Lincoln LS - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
2001 Lincoln LS engine locked up. I had a
To start - its probably worth more to put a used engine in than to junk the car. Normally a dealer is the right choice for a second opinion, but you may want to get a third. I know it will not be free, but the story you are getting from the shop sounds fishy. Changing a coil would not cause the engine to lock up, and I've never heard of being able to see a problem on the outside of an engine unless it has a connecting rod sticking out.I would want to know why the engine seized, and if it can be fixed before you consider replacing it.

All 2001 lincoln ls questions
Make sure you know where the coolant is leaking from and do not let it run to low and overheat. If the check engine light is only flashing and not staying on steady this signifies a soft code or pending code. So this issue must've just started I assume. A PO300 code means it has a multiple cylinder misfire.
Be aware that overheating as well as misfiring are the biggest reasons for a catalytic converter to plug. Just another reason to remedy the situation as soon as possible.

We locked the keys in the trunk of her 2002 Lincoln
if the seloniod is ok on the trunk release and if you are mechanically inclined pull the trunk release button from the glovebox and jump between the two wires on the connector, that should open the trunk

Gear gets stuck when in
Problem with shift interlock system ,maybe ! This is a safety system that will not allow the gear selector to be move from park unless driver is pushing on the brake pedal . Has a locking solenoid in shifter assembly . Is your vehicle column shift or on the floor console shift ? Has a electrical brake switch ,wiring ,an the solenoid . Could also have a control module involved ,GEM . Don't know for sure without looking up in factory service repair manual .

My 2001 Lincoln LS V8 3.9 seems to have a slight
When you changed spark plugs did you notice any oil on the insulator or wire plug? Or any oil in the hole that the spark plugs are in? This model of LS were built with gaskets that seem to always fail. Lincoln came out with new gaskets in 2002 or 2003. If there was any oil in the above mentioned places your coils (COP Coil on plug) could be shorting out due to the oil degrading the insulator on the cops.The fix for this is to replace the valve cover gasket set with the upgraded set. Also it's almost impossible to find which coil is bad, and I recommend replacing all eight of the COPS. You can find them online pretty reasonable. I have used these and they seem to perform as good as the Dealer parts, but at a fraction of the cost. This solved the problem on my 2001 LS V8. Also these cars are known to have problems with the timing chains, which could also cause your problem. The adjuster shoes that keep the timing chain tight are plastic and wear out and come loose. Some times causing the engine to jump time and in the worst case could allow the pistons and the valves to come in contact. That will destroy the engine.

Lincoln LS wont start
if the belt is moving , the engine is turning over
what you are trying to say is that it is cranking but not starting
I would be checking wire connectors for the cam position sensors , injector wires and any other connection s around the area you have been working
make sure that you have not caught a wire under a cover

Sometimes after first starting my 2001 lincoln ls
I have a 2004 Lincoln LS with the 3.0 engine,bought used a couple of years ago,lost power,the hose that goes to the PVC valve broke at clamp in front,found a new hose from Ebay for 50 bucks,I fixed it.The guy that I bought it from had someone put new spark plugs in and they didn't put hose back on right and the valve cover gasket wasn't put on right which makes it leak oil now,plus the radiator is leaking at top on the left,so now I have to add anti freeze often till I can fix it,that's a common problem with our Lincolns.Open your hood,at the top right by windshield is your antifreeze over flow container,check,it's probably out,I use ZEREX G-O5 from Advance Auto parts.Open hood and look for antifreeze around and you will find the leak,mine is to the left side,down a little,but toward top of radiator.

My 2001 Lincoln LS will not start, it will fire but not start
it will fire but not start! ?????????? I assume from your post that when you turn the key to the start position the starter engages the flex plate and spins the engine , but does not start an run . This is a engine cranks but doesn't start an run condition . Crank no start ! Not it will fire and not start !!!!!!!!!
What's missing ? spark , fuel , compression Videos on youtube showing how to test for these thing's . Search crank no start
