2001 LS V-8 ENGINE with about 125,000 miles on it. A couple of months ago my car started with a rough idle but once the car is driven above the idle speed it runs okay. The exhaust also has a strong smell to it. The engine check light is on. I took it to auto zone to have the engine light diagnosed. Unfortunately the reading gave about 8 potential problems.
 
Do you really want help with this? If so, please post the five characters code(s) that were read.
 
You most likely have a vacuum line leak somewhere on the system. Yes give us the codes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Most codes are caused by one part going bad. But we need the list in order.
 
Is it rough or a misfire? A misfire could be a Coil on Plug going bad, common problem (in later Lincolns they were recalled). But again, you need the codes to be sure.
 
Ugh!
