Check for fault codes first...then check all potential problems below:

Change all plugs and coils, it's a 2000..18 years old..
Clean MAF, IAC valve, trottle body including butterfly and surroundings..
Check for vacuum leaks and pcv valve cracks, replace
Check torque converter... refresh trans fluid..

Note: all coil packs should be changed together. Also verify the catalytic converter is not clogged because of incorrect spark...Hope this helps...cheers

Since scanner said Misfire #5, then start there:
Pull spark plug and review for damage, worn electrodes. Replace as required.
If it has been a while, then replace all the plugs.
Do that first, then report back your findings.

SOURCE: 2000 Lincoln Town Car (Engine Service) found a EVAP System?

Check your gas cap. If someplace can test it you might luck out. This website advertises manuals and info online. The evaporator cannister is suppose to purify excess fuel vapors. But a system which is not sealed will code an error lamp.

SOURCE: 94 Lincoln TC engine stalls when slowing/stopping

Most common cause of stalling for Lincolns in that era is the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). It regulates fuel mixture, idle speed etc. A bad TPS will usually act up in one of two ways:

  1. When cold, car continually stalls
  2. When warm, car stalls when slowing down (especially if AC is on)
As far as valve cover oil leak, it's a problem that should be addressed to keep oil from fouling your spark plugs but highly unlikely to be the cause of your stalling problem. Hope this answers your question. All the best.

1999 Lincoln Town Car shakes at idle. Cylinder 5 misfire and bank 1 and 2 too rich.

AC has nothing to misfires or o2 sensors.

Start with the basics.

Check the spark plugs, or perhaps just replace them all. Or you can test, put plug 5 in plug 1 swap. Does the misfire move? If it does, the plug is the issue, if it doesn't is is the coil pack to it.

Clean throttle body and MAF.

Clean EGR

Run car for a week, and if it is still running rich, change the sensors.

OR, just go to an auto-electrician with a $5,000 scan tool computer although with a 1999, the data will be fairly basic but will diagnose.

Vibration

It sounds like it could be an engine misfire. As the engine spins faster and faster that misfire makes itself less apparent. However on stops and low idle speeds it will be very obvious. If the check engine light is on that would also help you narrow down the issue.

Miss firing and /check engine light fregrently comes on

These have a lot of problems with ignition coils, so replace the spark plugs with the proper Motorcraft Spark plug, and a scanner will be needed to show which cylinders are misfiring, replace those coils. Make sure the misfiring cylinders when you take the coils out , that there isnt any water/coolant in the spark plug well.

2000 lincoln town car executive series sparkplugs

Between the rocker cover and the fuel rail are the coils, one per cylinder hed in place by a smill 8mm bolt. Remove the coil and find the spark plug wire, the arrangement is called a coil-on-plug or COP. Spark plug is in the tube from whince the spark plug wire came. 5/8" deep socket and long extension will reach it. Another hint find some way to clean out the tube before removing the spark plug least all kinds of junk winds up in the cylinder.......SMith
