I finally found the cold weather problem fix. Sorry it took so long to reply but I finally came up with enough time to get my hands dirty. On the back left of the intake manifold, there are 2 round black plastic mechanisms...I don't even know what they are (I'm handy but definitely no mechanic)...
You have no idea...lol. Cleaned entire car inside and out in May (yes the motor too) Look online at the new Windsor Bridge Project. There is solid construction for 10 miles (dirt, mud, and now snow and salt) and unfortunately, I have to drive that route 14 times a week for work. So ya it looks...
After a closer look...the coating was peeling but no holes. I am going to replace the hoses and check valve before replacing the booster. Is there not an easy way to check if I have low vacuum before buying and installing a bunch of parts, just in case they are not the issue, but only a symptom...
I think you may have led me directly to the issue...Took the pics and discovered that I have 2 rot holes in the booster itself...took a few photos of different hoses and such.
Just have to downsize the pics and will post them
Taking pics this morning...I know where the vacuum booster is , but not sure where the check valve is located or what it looks like. Is it in the same area?
FYI...the scan was done today, but the car had already warmed up. Thinking of buying a code reader that has live engine data and plug it in cold. One other thing...the gas pedal does absolutely nothing if I try to rev the motor, but in drive, it will hesitate a few times and then go, but all...
Yes...they are hard as a rock while the engine is sputtering, but while it is still cold, while driving and then slowing down, the brakes work fine until the rpm's drop to 1000 then they are hard again. whey work great once the car has warmed up.
Sorry this took so long to update...The car now has new plugs and coil packs, new PCV Valve and hose assembly from valve to intake manifold (I read that this is under the Intake manifold, but mine was over the top and the PCV Valve was on the drivers side Valve Cover), new air filter, Throttle...
I bought a 2003 Lincoln 6 Cyl. in the summer. I started to notice that when the temp outside is colder than 20 Deg F and the car has sat overnight, it starts, but the tac goes up and down from 500 to 1200 rpms at around 1 second in between. I get a gas smell inside the car, but it is not leaking...
Thanks for the replies. Will get the codes this weekend and will let you know. Just glad to have a few days of warm weather till then.
Besides this issue...car runs awesome...definitely hooked on this car!!
