1995 Lincoln Continental stalled and won't start

This same thing happened last year, but after a couple of hours it started again. This time, I started up a hill and it stalled on me. Waited a few hours and it still won't start. Ignition turns but no start. Checked the fuel pump shutoff switch as well as the fuel pump fuse. Could it be a solenoid of some type? Please help.

You need to have the electronic engine control system computer scanned for fault codes first.

SOURCE: 1995 LINCOLN WONT START

Perhaps when the fuel pump was replaced, the filter was not replaced, or the dirt in the tank was not cleaned out. Sometimes these problems are a result of the filter getting clogged up and fuel is not able to reach the fuel rail. The car sits for a while, the sediment falls from the filter, it then starts and runs for a time, all the while, little by little, the sediment recollects and starves the fuel rail again.

SOURCE: 1998 lincoln continental idles very rough

Has your engine gotten wet? Sounds like water around your spark plug boots down in the port around the spark plugs. If there is any water down there, make sure you blow it out with air compressor prior to removing plugs, or it will drain directly into the engine. Another scenario, could be EGR valve or related parts.  Is your check engine light on? With that rough of a ride, it should be. If it is an auto parts store should be able to read the code to help pin point the problem. Good Luck!

SOURCE: 1997 lincoln continental check steering assist light

Is the fluid full enough? there should be a dipstick to tell where the level should be. Also is the belt tight enough? Wires loose?

SOURCE: air-spring suspension 1995 mark Vlll Lincoln

Save your self the hassle and expence of troubleshooting and replacement parts, install a suspension retrofit kit which changes the rear bags to coil springs and the front to struts. A car this old you might as well start over for less than $500.00......

1995 Lincoln Continental, passenger seat won't tilt back forward

YOU HAVE A SWITCH OR A TILT ACTUATOR MOTOR PROBLEM. LINCOLNS HAVE 5 OR 6 ELECTRIC MOTORS MOUNTED ON THE UNDERSIDE OF EACH FRONT SEAT WHICH REQUIRES REMOVING THE SEAT TO INSPECT .THEIR ARE ALSO CABLES ATTATCHED TO THESE MOTORS SO LISTEN WHEN YOU HIT THE TILT SWITCH DO YOU HEAR A MOTOR NOISE? IF YOU DO THEN YOU MAY HAVE A BAD CABLE.

I have a 1995 lincoln continental and I had changed all the airbags (suspension) but car won't raise. Also compressor come on for about 30 seconds and cuts off

I fought with the same issue on my 1997 Mark VIII a few years back, and it turned out that there was a clog in the air line (just a piece of dirt that looked like a tiny piece of the air line itself.

Could also be a loose or leaking air line, since the pump runs and stops at a fixed interval.Make sure that the system actually gains pressure. If not, start checking for an air leak!

Hope that's helpful!

1999 lincoln continental drivers power seat won't work

Could be any number of items related to the seat
power motor circuit

Start by removing & testing the switches

If modules are involved,then it will be beyond
your ability to diagnose ,without a trouble chart

Check any fuses that apply

If a fuse is blown,replacing it won't
likely fix the issue,only blow again

1993 lincoln continental runs and than stalls.

We had an 84 Jag-wire that did that. Finally gave it away to somebody in Hollywood a PA in the industry, well a couple notches above they were a set-dresser..any how, we think thew problem was the computer that ran the injectors. I guess the boards would heat up and it would simply **** out, dead on the side of the road. After an hour it would start and run fine. Chris in big bEar
