    Poor gas mileage. Bad short term fuel trim

    I've been disappointed with my V6 Getrag gas mileage. Measured at 16.1 and 17.x on recent >200 mile runs. Very bad. CEL not on. Hooked up forscan and found really bad numbers, 99.22% on STFT for bank 1 and bank 2 sensor 2s. Also have 'error' on fuel system 2. Gotta run again and log O2...

    Ooops - bad control arm?

    Under car first time in a couple years. Just to change oil and filter. And investigate possible something loose in front end. Sure enough the driver's side upper control arm allows wheel movement by hand of I dunno, 1/2 inch or so. I could fix it but I'm getting tired of fixing cars. I'm old. :(

    Scan Tool

    Hello. So thinking about replacing center radio/hvac panel. I've got the Lincoln DVD and step 2 in R&R section is: NOTE: If installing a new module, it is necessary to upload the module configuration information to the scan tool prior to removing the module. This information must be...

    2014 hybrid Z. Center console going nuts

    Radio volume going up/down by itself. Drives me crazy driving the car. I did set a max vol with myKey cause once it went up to the real max vol and nearly blew my ears out. So on a day when I'm lucky it works as designed. Most days it's nutty. I heard there's a place that fixes these things...

    wheel stud replacement

    Trying to replace one stud on rear wheel. I'm down to the axle shaft and it looks like I'll have to remove the nut and then try to free the hub. I cannot get the stud in from the back. It is too long. Anyone have any other ideas?

    Panoramic sunroof

    Have a 2014 mkZ with the big sunroof. It has just started not working because the shade is bunching up as opposed to moving freely backward. Anyone have experience or knowledge about this thing? Is it glued up there to something that maybe came unglued? Thanks

    Insurance

    How can this be - yesterday I looked closely at what we are paying for auto insurance. Amazingly we are being charged MORE for our 2014 mkZ than for a brand new Maverick. Called them (USAA) and woman said well old cars dont have all the safety features of new ones. Um maybe you should think...

    mkZ hybrid

    Anyone have thoughts on how long the battery pak will last in these? I bought my wife's 2014 hybrid Z recently when she bought a new Maverick hybrid. With gas prices the way they are, $6.39 now for reg here, I wanted the nearly 40mpg of the Z. But I'm 'only' getting 37.2 :( I'm thinking maybe...

    Hello all just mainly a post on my car situation. Er, Lincoln situation

    Hi all. I hope all is well with everyone. So today I decided to run a couple of errands in my 2001 LS, 5speed. Oh man it's nice to row your own! I was thinking how nice the car still runs after 21 years. I stopped at my first stop and heard a funny noise when I shut the door. You can...

    2007 Nav air suspension problem

    Hello. 2007 Nav L. Love it. 163000 miles. Not using it as much as I should. If it sits for a week or more, the rear end sags. Start it up and compressor pumps it back up. Never any messages that air susp not OK. Rides great. But there must be a slow leak or something. Any pointers as to what...

    Easy, cheap fix for windshield washer no squirt.

    It's always something. My WWasher stopped shooting cleaner. Pulled off the RF wheel well covers to reveal the reservoir. Pulled off the pump and found the outlet was plugged up with algae or something green and slimy. Pulled the outlet and cleaned. Bought WW fluid. Done. Wish they were all...

    Rear Main Seal leak.

    I'm callin it. Fixed. No leaks at all over the past several days. Before fix, every day would be a leak the size of a pringles cap under engine/trans interface. Now - nothing. How did I fix it? By pouring a bottle of AT - 205 into the crankcase. Worked within a day. Unreal.

    Splash shield under engine

    I'm getting tired of my splash shield getting pulled off if I drive too far forward when parking and it ends up on the curb or a parking stop. I really don't want to put it on again. I doubt there'll be any big consequences? Is anyone else out there driving without the engine splash shield?
