Overheating when driving around town with the AC on--how do you fix the propblem?

I have a 1998 Lincoln Towncar--that overheats. If it gets really heated it dies, my gas mileage has really gone down as well. It happens when we are doing a lot of driving around town--it seems ok on the highway. We put a new thermostat in and it did not fix the problem. What now????????

Now What !

You should have stopped using it when it first overheated,
& had the issues diagnosed.

You need a dealer or repair shop, unless you have a full set
of factory work shop manuals & powertrain control & emissions
diagnostic manuals, for the year of your car,avail from Helm.Com

Cheap try is new radiator cap. If it cant pressurize the system the boil temp lowers considerably. If put new cap on and still over heat could have bad head gasket or a blockage in radiator...Cap is common and 10.00 to fix....

There is a hose on the side of the coolant resevoir that has a straight blade screwdriver fitting in it. Open the fitting and this will bleed the heads on the LS. Without opening this you will never get the air out of the head, trust me.

SOURCE: changing spark plugs on lincoln town car

Remove the spark plug wires, remove the spark plugs,replace them. Do this one cylinder at a time if you never did it. On that year you may need to remove the upper intake to access the plugs on one side. In that case go to a shop. This would not be a novice job.

My 1998 lincoln towncar off-balance

Sounds like shocks/struts. Usually if they start sagging it's because of a problem in the suspension, like shocks or struts.
