LIncoln Aviator shaking

I have a 2003 Lincoln Aviator. The check engine light comes on and it starts to shake. And a low oil pressure signal comes on. Almost feels like it's going to shut off. I went to Autozone and they ran a diagnostic. It came back as a spark plug or ignition coil that needs to be replaced. I replaced those two items. But, it didn't work. Is there something wrong with the oil pressure too. Or is that some kind of default warning signal.

I had the same problem. Maybe you still have some bad ignition coils. I would change them all out. Very simple to do yourself.

Also, check the hose that is connected to your PCV valve. Mine had a huge hole in it from melting and it was sucking in to much air.

    They are located under a cover on top of the valve covers. There are four coils on each side of the engine. I use alldatadiy.com for my diagrams. The membership is like 15 bucks for the year but worth it especially if you have an Aviator. Truck has to many issues.

I have the same problem. Ford dealership said the engine code was to replace the head. Loosing 15% compression from #8 cylinder. I plan on getting a second opinion before I spend $4800 on having FORD installing a new head... BYW. Ford is not helping out at all. I only have 70000 miles on my 2004.

2003 lincoln aviator/how do you know if there's motor damage

Your car shouldn't have just suddenly started burning oil. Its possible it's leaking in the engine compartment and the leak is dripping onto the hot exhaust manifold and the. The smoke is blowing out the back as you drive. I would think it's unlikely that the engine has been damaged since the check-engine light should have come on if the oil level was low enough to cause damage.

If hii find that bluish smoke is coming from the exhaust pipes, then the next thing to check is whether it smokes on acceleration or deceleration. If the latter, it may be just a valve issue. If it smokes a lot on startup, then it may be rings.

2003 Lincoln V6 check engine light came on and the rear shakes when in low gear. Oil was changed on Friday. What cold be the problem

Since your check engine light came on it will store the problem for about 20 starts. If you go to Autozone or Oreillys you can get a free scan. This should diagnose one of your problems.

There are position sensors for both the crankshaft and the cams. Its possible a wire was moved during the oilchange. The computer should diagnose it.

98 lincoln navigator loud noise, shaking, high rpm at idle, drive

I don't know how much oil you had to put in but it sounds like you have maybe more than opne issue and both sound major. One is engine reving and speed not picking up sounds like trans problem. Two the engine shaking and making noise and being run low on oil leans toward possible engine damage. If your mechanicly inclined check all fluids and when checking trans fluid smell it. If it smells burnt the trans has been damaged. Check oil pressure and make sure coolant is full.You may have to take it into the shop.

Putter-shaking-hesitating-light on- slow acceleration-rough ride-check engine/emissions light on-

You can take it to Autozone or O'reillys and they will scan the engine for free. They usually will identify the part that is bad from reading the scanner.
It sounds like the EGR sensor for the emissions and a TPS throttle position sensor for the performance. The rough ride could be a 4x4 control because some of the Lincolns will pump up the air suspension harder for the 4x4 setting.
