I guess no one here was interested, but I was able to sell it for $3400, I had several people interested, and they out bid each other. Too bad it didn't go higher.

I'm not selling this, its posted right now on craigslist.com. I stumbled across it looking for my own post. But I thought it might interest some of you. 1983 Lincoln Continental, 63,000 miles. The engine runs well and has a new battery. The transmission has a small leak which drips on the...

I used sea foam through the pcv valve about 1 week ago and not much happened. I did what was described above. I added half the can to an old sandwich tupperware, had my girlfriend lightly press the gas pedal, and used the pcv valve to suck up the contents of the tupperware. The car stalled...

$3,200 She still looks good and runs near perfect. Can be shown in maryland or long island area. I'm moving and I need to sell her. The last 67,000 miles were put on this year; I was driving every 600 miles every weekend to see my long distance girlfriend. New Brakes (rotors and pads were...

Actually, from what I can tell from the photos of both continentals, they're just alloy wheels. My lincoln has the same wheels. Nothing fancy.

Oddly enough, I had the same problem. I had a pair of tire defects from firestone. Both the rear tires did something I nor the mechanic from Firestone had ever seen before. The tread actually lifted in several parts of the tires. Normal tread, just some were higher than the rest. Not a...

Thanks for all the help guys! I successfuly changed the fuel filter, pcv valve, spark plugs and one ignition coil. The car ran pretty well afterwards. I also ran some seafoam through the pcv valve. There wasn't the big white smoke cloud like everyone was saying though. There was smoke, just...

K, things got worse. I changed the fuel filter and I changed the pcv valve and the problem was not fixed. Same stuttering during acceleration. Then I changed the plugs and the stuttering got worse. Even at idle the car is stuttering. When turning the wheel or when switching gears I can even...

Thanks again guys! Huge help. It looks like I can now change the fuel filter and pcv valve by myself for under $12 total. I've been reading tons of other threads about coils being the cause of engine stuttering. Anyone have any good links/info/pictures of coils being changed? Thanks...

Thanks a lot, it sounds real easy. I probably do it tomorrow! I'm also looking to change the PCV valve if anyone has detailed instructions. Thanks again!

No, the only light that comes on is the "Check Transmission" sign where things such as gas mileage/trip meter/Performance are displayed.

Pictures of the fuel filter change would be great. At about 80,000 miles (2004), the fuel filter, cabin filter, pcv valve, and plugs (platinum) were changed. It has 164,000 now, so they're probably all due again. Any idea on the transmission light? Any one have pdf or other...

Yeah, that is what I tried first. I ran the tank nearly empty, filled the tank up with 93 from an Exxon station and added fuel system cleaner. So far as of this mornings 70 mile drive, there is no noticible improvement. I've looked at replacing the fuel filter, I saw a few figures of where it...

I have a 1998 Continental with 164,000. A few problems have been occurring recently. Some of the problems I've seen posted here, but I've only seen how to fix one of them. First, during long driving (3 or more hours) the check transmission light comes on. Just like someone else stated, I...
