Not sure on the code, it could be PO174. It may be an O2 sensor or problems with the intake and/or cyl heads.
I would make sure on the code and get a second opinion.

SOURCE: heat wont work 2001 lincoln town car cartia

Hello Callahan5922....this sounds like a stuck blower motor resistor. I assume the blower won't function in the a/c mode either? If you have a digital multimeter you can check this. I believe it's fuse #2....if the digital indicator goes up or down when you increase or decrease the fan speed thats good. Locate the blower motor resistor....you wil find it located on the fire wall behind the right valve cover hiding behind the heater hose, it's about the size of a cigarette pack. With the engine off, and key in on position, turn the A/C on High, and rap a tap tap tap on the resistor. You might be suprised when the blower motor takes off a runnin,
I hope this is the answer you need and i was able to help solve this for you. Good luck...

SOURCE: 1997 lincoln town car 4.6 with a p0430 fault code

I will make an assumption here, we know what the root word means. This code was extracted from the computer by? What this is telling you one of 2 things: The Bank 2 oxygen sensor down stream of the catalytic converter (there are 2 converters, one for each bank of cylinders on the 4.6ltr engine) is bad and/or that the Bank 2 catalytic converter is no longer doing the job it was designed to do. Simply, Catalysts wear out. They are good for approx 100,000 miles (as required by Federal Law). Again, I assume that the reason the intake manifold was replaced was because it had a crack in one, or more, of the runners? (part that feeds the head of a manifold). It may have taken a while to find this as being the cause of why the car running incorrectly, maybe rough. This means, that during the time the car was being driven with the problem, the amount of unburned, or not within spec exhaust gases, coming off the side of the engine affected by the intake issue was higher than normal. This out of balance level of exhaust gases were being dumped into the converter on that side of the engine, thus causing the converter to have to run hotter, work harder, or even at the time the gas was being processed through, causing deposits to be formed in the converter, thus shortening it's life span. The Bank 1 side of the engine, apparently, did not have the issue and it's catalytic converter's life was not affected. I hope this makes sense to you.

SOURCE: just had car dealership repair 1997 lincoln town air ride

Those Lincolns are notorious for that,I'd just get a set of coil springs out of a Crown Victoria cop car(junk yard)and swap them out.Done it many times,you can do it in about an hour,and they'll never leak down again.By the way,there's some O-rings in that system.Make some soapy water and spray every connection,just maybe you'll get lucky.

I have a lincoln town car 2001. The car only has 68,ooo miles. I drove through some water last week on my way home during the tropical storm(Isaac). The car then started making a loud noise. I had it towed...

if had driven threw a large amount of water and hydro locked the engine yes you could have damaged the heads but also the connecting rods could be bent having such low miles on the car i would not but a engine with so many miles on it if you have full coverage on the car call your insurance company and see if it is covered a deductable is cheaper then a engine and a rebuilt engine would be a option

2001 lincoln town car overheated badly. parts have been replaced. Engine light is on and it loses power.

What you need is a real mechanic to first figure out what is actually wrong with it, then replace that part. Just randomly replacing parts and hoping for the best makes no sense and can be very expensive. If it overheated badly you could have also suffered irreparable harm to the motor.

Many issues can cause overheating, your description does not provide any info which could even point someone in the right direction to consider what could be wrong with the car.
