2004 Lincoln LS misfire P0355 Ignition coil E
I have the same car, I bought newYou don't need a shop to work on that issueYou go to Rock Auto.Com & buy about 6 WellsCOP Ignition Coils for about $50 verse $70 at parts storeYou only need a 7mm socket to remove the coil covers &one screw holding any coil you wish to changeI realize you don't have professional tools as I do,or all theexperience with the LS coil issuesI have replaced coils based on a code, which should be PO 301 thru PO308, not the 355 & letter stuff, although there the same thing, just noton an LSI have used scan tool software in Mode #06 to find bad coilsThe third & most time consuming way, is what you do & I have hadto do also & the reason the dealers & shops can't resolve the issuesat timesYou start with a new coil in the cyl with the PO CodeIf you get codes again or many codes & you will,you replace the oldcoil & walk the new one to another cylWhy--because a really bad coil will act up whenever it wants to,onceever 3 weeks,2 weeks,at every stop light one day & then gone for weeksI have seen people on this site spend up to $2500 at a dealer with no fix,when one 50 dollar coil & half hour of your time was the fixA bad coil will put you into ETC Failsafe & you can't go over 6 mph,thatis the way the system is designedBetter yet- for another $1200 a dealer installs a new throttle body forno reason ,other than they don't understand the very product they sell& service
High Idle on 2004 Lincoln LS
There is no relearn procedure when replacing an ignition coilThat shop has no idea how to work on a Lincoln LSI have a 2004 V8Most are V6 so I assume they removed the intake to dothe coils 1 thru 3 & now you have a vacuum leakVery sloppy work,they never smoke tested the intake to confirm their workIn 9 years I have never had to do a single relearn on mineRelearn is something you have to look up & do before yougive the car back. It is not the owners responsibility to doI would say you have to give the shop one time to resolvePersonally any shop that bad I would stay clear of

Trying to start my 04 ls and the alarm goes off, why?
Try jump starting, charging or at least testing the battery. I had a similar problem when I first got the car off the lot. It had been sitting a while in the cold so when I test drove it they jumped it and it started. I kept it running for 10 minutes after the test drive and it started again to get it off the lot. I got it home and it wouldn't start. It had enough juice to have the lights, alarm and things like that to go, but not enough to get the car to turn over. Whenever I tried, it would make the alarm go off. Give it a try, hopefully thats all it is
