oh i c, ok well the radiators fixed i have full coolant and oil wit no leaks. getting my battery charged as we speak so tomorrow im gonna try staring it again. wish me luck guys

my oil looks fine i mean it looks like what oil is supposed to look like. no milk or anything, and how do i test for a blown head gasket

ok so update, i tested the coil packs and found it to be a shocking experience lol. so i have spark. i also found out that my radiator has a hole in it so i guess now i know where all my coolant is going. that means in theory besides my radiator having a hole in it everything else should b...

ya fuel system is working, i check the schrader valve and there was lots of fuel coming out. i tried the starter fluid thing and it didnt start the car. thats y i was leaning towards mayb im not getting spark but i dont no how to test that

oh and i still have crank but havent gotten it to start yet. i just replaced my cylinder head temp sensor and am currently checking for coolant leaks

but there is no coolant leak, none that i can see anyways. nothing is hitting the ground

u no what it was running sort of rough and that cylinder head temp thing your talking about is broken but i didnt think it would mess **** up cuz the car was running anyways. and i just checked the reservoir and its empty again so i dunno where my coolant went cuz it didnt leak out? i will try...

how can i tell if thats the issue, is there a test for the timing chain tensioner?

hi im a brand new Lincoln owner and my car is in trouble, its a 2001 Lincoln ls V6. this happened as i was driving home from buying the car. it drove excellently very smooth and comfortable with no issues while i was testing it. then on the way home i started hearing this knocking sound! :o :o...
