I have a 98 Mark VIII with 4.6l 4 overhead cam. My car rapid blinked the anti theft dash light w/o cranking. I sent my PCM out to have the anti theft function removed but it has been too cold for me to reinstall and reattempt a start. It is supposed to ignore any aspect of anti theft and start...

Let me understand you. I am referring to a 1998 lincoln Mark VIII. The crank sensor is down low in the front of the passenger side of the engine. Th cam sensor is high on the front of the driver side and it is hidden behind if I remember right behind the power steering pump. I am struggling...

My first mark viii - 1998. I bought ORedy brand front and rear air spring conversion to non air suspension. Trouble is, I believe the supplied rear coils are too long as I am struggling mightily even with spring compressors to get springs into their intended place. I managed to get them in but...
