Replace your clockspring, it causes these both to fail if it is bad. KJ

@Ron O'Callaghan. No it shouldn't, it should run straight and true. @OP Anonymous from 2013, the diagram is here. Sorry it is 7 years late. :>D https://www.google.com/search?q=Rear+Suspension+Diagram+for+2001+Lincoln+LS ..

Directly under the steering column just to the left.

Very common problem is about a dime size hole wearing in the rubber elbow on the PCV valve located on the driver side rear of the intake manifold.

To start - its probably worth more to put a used engine in than to junk the car. Normally a dealer is the right choice for a second opinion, but you may want to get a third. I know it will not be free, but the story you are getting from the shop sounds fishy. Changing a coil would not cause the engine to lock up, and I've never heard of being able to see a problem on the outside of an engine unless it has a connecting rod sticking out.I would want to know why the engine seized, and if it can be fixed before you consider replacing it.

The starter is located under the engine.

Check valet in glove box

That is because the entertainment system is part of the security system, you are locked out.

Make sure you know where the coolant is leaking from and do not let it run to low and overheat. If the check engine light is only flashing and not staying on steady this signifies a soft code or pending code. So this issue must've just started I assume. A PO300 code means it has a multiple cylinder misfire.

Be aware that overheating as well as misfiring are the biggest reasons for a catalytic converter to plug. Just another reason to remedy the situation as soon as possible.

ck fuel press,poss.vacuum leak at intake manifold

p0302 is a misfire code at #2cyl,may be cause of other codes,?p210-codes have 5

if the seloniod is ok on the trunk release and if you are mechanically inclined pull the trunk release button from the glovebox and jump between the two wires on the connector, that should open the trunk

Start by making the tracks slicker with parafin, bees wax or graphite. If the motor is weak, you can run a larger positive wire going to the motor. If those don't work, you may have to replace the motor.

I have checked 200 and 2001 Lincoln Ls, both 5 and 8 cyl engines.

I can't find a code 91....I can find code 109....thats Barometric sensor.

Do you have more info>

Problem with shift interlock system ,maybe ! This is a safety system that will not allow the gear selector to be move from park unless driver is pushing on the brake pedal . Has a locking solenoid in shifter assembly . Is your vehicle column shift or on the floor console shift ? Has a electrical brake switch ,wiring ,an the solenoid . Could also have a control module involved ,GEM . Don't know for sure without looking up in factory service repair manual .

When you changed spark plugs did you notice any oil on the insulator or wire plug? Or any oil in the hole that the spark plugs are in? This model of LS were built with gaskets that seem to always fail. Lincoln came out with new gaskets in 2002 or 2003. If there was any oil in the above mentioned places your coils (COP Coil on plug) could be shorting out due to the oil degrading the insulator on the cops.The fix for this is to replace the valve cover gasket set with the upgraded set. Also it's almost impossible to find which coil is bad, and I recommend replacing all eight of the COPS. You can find them online pretty reasonable. I have used these and they seem to perform as good as the Dealer parts, but at a fraction of the cost. This solved the problem on my 2001 LS V8. Also these cars are known to have problems with the timing chains, which could also cause your problem. The adjuster shoes that keep the timing chain tight are plastic and wear out and come loose. Some times causing the engine to jump time and in the worst case could allow the pistons and the valves to come in contact. That will destroy the engine.
