I have a 2003 Lincoln ls with 70,000miles. The Engine light on the dash came on a couple of days ago. Today while going to the grocery store the wrench light came on and the car has no power. It shifts at about 3000 rpms from first to second. Is this a dealer item? Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks

Check the oil first it may need filling but if you are on low revs it needs to be checked out. Might need a service

You need to start by getting a code reader and checking for trouble codes - these will help you figure out what to do next. Any major auto parts store should be able to do this for you.

SOURCE: 2002 lincoln ls engine light

These cars are famous for leaky seals where the valve cover interfaces with the cylinder head, at the spark plug journals. They fill with oil, short the coils and cause a misfire. Driving it any significant distance can destroy your catalytic converters ad unburnt fuel ignites therein, creating inferno-like conditions and a fire hazard too. You'll get a "300 code", such as 301 if cylinder 1 is misfiring, 302 for # 2, etc. Pull the coil off the spark plug for that cylinder and if it is moist at all, that's your issue. Have new seals put in, or you'll just keep blowing coils at $50 a whack.

SOURCE: what does the wrench light mean on a 2004 lincoln

Usually engine trouble, could be a faulty sensor. Either take it to a shop or to a parts store that can diagnose warning lights.

SOURCE: 2003 Lincoln LS has steering shimmy at 70 mph

It's either:

  1. Out of alignment or
  2. Front tires are not properly balanced.
Either way you should have it repaired by a mechanic soon. Your destroying your tires and can cause front end damage.
HINT: Have the tires Dynamic balanced, not Static balanced. It cost a few dollars extra, but saves you twice as much in reduced tire wear.

For Motor Company started having problems with this thing called a "Blend Door Actuator" around 1998. This piece controls the door in the dash to blow hot or cold air.

days. Don't keep driving it,you have a possible
system malfunction

Just get it checked out
If it is a transmission problem, I wouldn't even drive it.

Must read codes off of the obd-II computer using a scanner for obd-II so that you can know which system is being flagged. This is the first step.

May try to take it to autozone or advance auto parts to have them read the codes for free.

Or, you could purchase your own scanner at Sears or Walmart or your local parts store in order to read the codes yourself, and clear any that are intermittent.

If it's a hard code, as you describe, the scanner will come in handy.

Good luck on this diagnosis.

My 2004 lincoln ls air conditioner is blowing hot air. The ac filter light is on and so is the check engine light. Please help. What could be the problem? Does the system just need to be charged?

Your issues can not be answered easily or definitively, as the LS is very complex and all electronic.
I would need the stored codes,that set the check light (MIL Light)
You can cycle the right dash display to ACFilter and Reset,with the top row of buttons,in center of dash. There is no sensor on the Cabin Filter. All the dash displays, are just reminders,you can set any way you want, % wise.

Possible issues--Fuses
-- Coolant control valve
--DATC module

You will need a really good Technician,not a general mechanic, to diagnose your problem
You need to put a professional scanner on it, to start any diagnostic work

First you stop driving a vehicle with those issues.

The shaking could be several things. The EGR Valve,if some slamming and banging,type symptoms,especially going up hills.

Loss of power could be the TPS Sensor and a bad COP Ignition Coil.

Very loud --What?

High RPM ,as you already know ,could be the trans slipping. Another in a long list of LS issues. That would be a bad Trans Solenoid Pack.

I have a 2004 LS and had all of them,happen.

You need to pull codes,before you start to troubleshoot thoses items.
I would imagine your driving around with the MIL Light ,light on the dash?

Get codes,give them to me, I'll help you out. Do not drive it, untill it is properly repaired. The LS is a very,very complicated high tech vehicle.

Hi
I would first go to an Auto parts store that reads your OBII codes for free to get some idea of the area to look at. Also you should check your fues for the interior lights and dash see if one or more are open.

Hope this helps some

My 2001 lincoln ls is sputtering at 40-50 mph,engine light comes on for couple hours

this sounds like an engine misfire, the check engine light is telling you it is misfiring. next time the light is on you should go to an auto parts store as most of them will pull the code for you at no charge. I own a 2002 LS and I have replaced 4 coils in less than one year to correct this same problem.

I had the same problem with a 2004 LS. I took it to the dealer and turned out that 6 ignition coils were out and was factory defect. Ford extended the warranty for the ignition coil. All work and parts "no charge" this service was done about a month ago
