Can a valve tap in a 2004 Town Car be the tension on the timming chain?

B Mckenna, Timing chains can make noise, when you say the noise does go away sometimes, it sound more likely to be a valve lifter or tappet noise. You can pick up a mechanics stethoscope cheap and listen to the noise and hear/see if it is louder from the timing chain area or the valve covers to determine location.

Loud rattle sound when Idling

I suggest you have your car checked as soon as possible - while a rattling exhaust isn't desperately urgent it could be the cat breaking up which might later restrict the flow of gases. Most importantly excessively loose timing belts or chains tend to make most noise when the engine is idling. If the noise is being caused by this delay could be very expensive.

Lincoln Town Car intermittently won't start. Engine cranks over but it won't fire. Later it will start, sometimes several times in a row, but then will inexplicably refuse to start again.

This sounds like an ignition module issue. It will not be available from any auto parts store as it has to be programmed by the dealer.

I cant get wiper sprayer to spray water

Your washer pump is bad or bad connection. Check for voltage to pump first, if you have voltage, replace pump. Your squirter nozzles could be plugged with wax or polish, use a sewing needle to unplug if necessary.

Whining noise occurs when reducing speed and stops when placing transmission in neutral.

First you want to make sure the noise is not from wheels, brake or any bearings. If it is transmission problem- not much we can do with transmission... Try replacing transmission fluid with generic brand. This will cost around $200: if you DIY you have to drop the pan and replace the gasket and filter; if you let the dealer do it they will charge around $250. If the noise is still there then you need to decide either sell the car or replace the transmission. Few years ago the dealer quote me around $2800? (2003 Town car) for new a transmission installed with warranty. Depends on your area...few years ago here in Los Angeles, a black TC was still "hot". I was able to sell my 2003 TC without a working transmission. There are many people here knowing how to fix it for cheaper. I had bad experience repairing an engine with a small shop. They charge less but the engine did not run well and I had to go back to the shop so many times. I still end up sell the car a year after the repair. I really don't recommend dealing with those issues unless you have a very flexible working schedule.

MY SUNROOF ON MY 2004 LINCOLN TOWNCAR WONT OPEN

It could be the button, motor, wiring or module being bad. Have it scanned, this will lead to a certain direction. My guess would be the module first, motor second. Both are a pain/ time consuming job..

When it rains the carpet of my town car gets wet.This happens when the car is sitting in the driveway and is not being driven.Any ideas of how water is getting into my car

In addition to checking and cleaning out air ducts by firewall, if you have a sunroof there is a drain hose attached that might be clogged.

Why does my battery light stay on

Most likely because your alternator is not charging , the circuit of a vehicle is designed to show the battery light on if this fault occurs, your local garage can test this quite easily. you will possibly find the car will fail to start soon as the battery is exhausted.
