2004 Lincoln LS - Page 3 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Find a wire that is powered up when the key is turned on.
Any wire that powers up can be the remote source.

is the bearing squealing?

There are two coolant temp senders, one has one wire and goes to dash cluster, one has twoo wires and speaks to the ECU. Both are located in the intake manifold near the thermostat housing on most engines, and parts stores have parts locator charts which should help. Buy your part and ask to see the location chart. Unscrew the old one and quickly install the new one to prevent loss of much coolant. Top up with new coolant and done.

PO171 & PO174 are codes for fuel too lean. So is the clattering valves when you step on it. Sounds like you got some bad gas. Try filling up with a high octane gas and add a gas treatment for Ethanol which will help get some water out of the system. Good Luck

P0171 & P0174 are lean codes.this can be cause by a vacuum leak. One of the symptoms is a ruff idle when cold. You can listen for it or you can have it smoke checked by a shop. Most common causes are intake plenum gaskets and rotted PVC hoses. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

1. Insufficient coolant in system 2. Drive belt defective or not adjusted properly 3. Radiator core blocked or grille dirty and restricted 4. Thermostat faulty 5. Cooling fan not functioning 6. Radiator cap not maintaining proper pressure 7. Ignition timing incorrect 8. Defective water pump 9. Improper grade of engine oil 10. Inaccurate temperature gauge

The camshaft position sensor is located on the timing chain cover.(4.6L engine) Front of the left (drivers side) cylinder head.

This is the only info I have found P0356 Ignition Coil F Primary/Secondary Circuit Malfunction

Possible that you could have put the distributor in 180 degrees out. Bring #1 piston up to top dead center with timing marks together on the harmonic balancer at crankshaft and pull the distributor cap off to see where the rotor is pointing. Should be pointing to #1 plug wire on cap.

Check coolant levels to ensure they are full. Check for coolant leaks. What you describe could be considered normal if you are driving in hot ambient temperatures with full coolants levels. Ensure you are using coolant liquid not water. If fluid levels are full (rad and overflow bottle) and there are no leaks and the temperature gauge is not show engine it running hot; then the sensor that controls the fan(s) should be replaced.

Could be: -Engine fuel system components or really old/bad fuel. -Ignition system control module partial failure -ignitions system spark plug coil pack failure -mouse nest in air intake tunnel

Your coolant temperature has reached the point where your fan thermo switch kicks in causing the fan to work. When the coolant temp drops below that point the fan will switch off

Fan is shot. Try to spray lubricate the fan armature with the thickest oil you have to see if it makes any difference. Might buy you some time till you can replace it.

NO-

Take it to a dealer & have them properly diagnose & resolve the issues

code p0106 refers to manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor /barometric pressure (BARO) sensor ---range /performance problem===causes --intake /exhaust leak--wiring--MAP sensor ---Baro sensor. check for vacuum / air leaks and /or change sensors.

It's located on the transmission, there is a lot if sensors on the trans. And some of them look the same, get a book for the car to make sure your replacing the right one

P2106 ---Throttle Actuator Control System-Forced Limited power I have that car -2004 L/S V8 ----------listen carefully------- It has Nothing to with That Code It has nothing to do with the Throttle Body or the TACM on it THE ONLY PROBLEM IS YOU HAVE SEVERAL BAD COP IGNITION COILS IF you can not find a dealer or local shop to replace ONLY the failed coils & they probably hate that car & have no idea of it's system strategy-- I will explain it all to you on the phone I have had that car for 11 years & am well versed, well beyond the factory service & diagnostic manuals & have had all those unsolved problems-- no one knows about You keep this to yourself: When an ignition coil fails, it does so, when it wants to & under no real specific condition You cannot for the most part use any codes & only some coils will show up under misfire counts on a scan tool When they choose to fail- they spike the PCM (computer) drivers & somehow you loose throttle plate position inside the PCM Quizzer area The 2100 codes you forget about-- as well as the PO300 codes-- you forget about & many other unrelated obd codes on a ford With the vehicle being driven by wire, when you have no throttle recognition is goes into ETC Fail-Safe & you can only go 6 mph-- thus the code you got & do not need use The fix is find & replace the failed cop coils or replace them all All you need is a 7mm socket to get off the coil covers & remove one coil bolt NO reason at all not to work on it yourself You replace the spark plugs every 3 years & ONLY use the OEM plug number with is SPECIAL to the Lincoln L/S & is an NGK only spark plug from the assy line & ford Also you replace the oxygen sensors at 100,000 miles You use only 5W-20 full-syn oil & change every 4,000 miles Not 4,001 On the V8 you have to use 92/93 octane fuel-- it says so on the fuel door

I have that same car ---2004 L/S V8 How about some more details I never have problems with mine If you do not take your brakes apart, once a year, on all vehicles, your just asking for problems The rear rotors rust badly on the inside, on the L/S Who is doing your brake work? If your paying a shop that can't properly do what is required, stop & do your own work I have not let a pro touch any vehicle I owned in over 50 years I started out as a machinist & don't need butchers working on my vehicles

Change the Transmission Solenoid Shift Pack Part # HPN -9L2Z7G391A Was $515.00--- list---- many years ago I paid $332.20 wholesale I have that car That code is not in the 2004 Factory Manuals It is Generic Code for shift solenoid C You don't have that in a 5R55S--only on part I showed above Should talk about the issues If you drove it at all, even ten miles, you may already ruined the trans If you fail to change the fluid every 3 years their toast,ALL Vehicles Just a 10mm bolt up against the floor pan, that will take about an hour to loosen, to remove the wiring harness connector The rest is child's play 7 -T30 bolts & the solenoid pack is out
