The last two winters my 2006 Zephyr does not like starting in weather below 30. Battery was tested and not the issue. It turns over and when it warms up just a bit it starts. It seems to start when I pump gas a few times quickly on some days. Some days after I put a warmer in garage overnight it will start. After it starts it will start during day it just after it sits over night in temps below30-35ish.
The thing to do is have the vehicle hooked up to diagnostic scan tool . Viewing engine sensor data ,see whats off . The computer may think the vehicle is warmer then it is an giving it less fuel . Checking coolant temp sensor data , IAT - intake air temp sensor . 048 Engine Hard to Start or No Start Scan Data for Starting Problems

the idle air control valve is sticking and needs replaced. trust me im a ford technition and have done many of them.

Hi, no to injectors, gas or module because if it were any of these, you would have same problem after car is on running. If you have more than 75,000 miles and don't know when the last time the spark plugs, or fuel filter was replaced, I would suggest having these changed by a mechanic. DON'T change the spark plugs yourself. These engines are notorious for "blowing" out spark plugs if not properly torqued. And if that happens, it will cost you an engine head if the shop can't re-tap your spark plug hole threads. Try having a reputable shop replace the spark plugs and fuel filter.

very likely to be the thermostat needs replacing(to test,wrap a piece of cooking foil around the radiator/front grill and see if the heatup time is less,if it is, then its the thermo.) easy,yes.....

Hello
The engine
and automatic transmission in this vehicles drive train
are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM and
TCM (Power Train Control Module, Transmission Control Module). When a
problem like this or other drive-ability related problems occurs the
computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some
exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature
sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in
its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems
memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read
you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and
resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL
A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR
HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM

Where you at Kim,north pole,helping Santa,lol,How many cold cranking amps is your battery,may need a stronger one,Try this to see,remove battery overnight,store in your warm house,then in morning install back in car and see if it will start,if it does then battery is too weak for your Lincoln.Also metal shrinks in cold weather.
