Lincoln LS V8 2003
I could go on and on about whats happened with this car since I got her 2/22/16,,,,,so in short I do a quick timeline of events,remedies,and my latest defeat !\
purchased /////engine vibrates and hesitates,,plus a little bumpy
autozone~ a little oil and coil 5 trouble
day 2 #5 & 7
day 3 buy coils and replace rear arm control bearings
that night on my way to work ~~~ crazy sputtering , check into autozone....coils 1,3,5,7....employee says its crank ignition sensor....leave autozone happy, thankful,and content~ 2 blocks later ~~~ all power failed, go look for a jump and the car is fine
make it 40 miles twice ,and disconnect the battery to clear computer.. except the 2nd time , car shifts down,,,idles up and growls lower and I'm siiting in the car on the side of the highway wishing I was at work and not broke down an hour from home
cop,277$ tow bill and new citation>>>> tow truck rips through Parking Break as he pulls away with the car at a 45 degree angle ~~~owners manual says is no no
get car outta hock ~~~ told them they prolly messed her up , and the car starts!!! but goes no where,,,,,
that night I crawl under her and look for fuel line issues..non to be found an hour away
next day father rents a 70$ trailor , I ask for a jump, no go,, so wench her on
replace spark plugs, test coils for current, polish spark plug areas....do a complete fuse,relay, & diode check,,,clear all connection...sand,brush,,etc anywhere the ground and current reach, change fuel pump,then starter
she cranked and started for the first time tonight and I could hear rattling under the car<hope its just catalytic converter,,,,I FEAR ITS THE DRIVETRAIN FROM THE TOW Truck / extortionist
also the car starts too idle down and stop once I press the gas for a little encouragement,, I try to restart and nothing
I'm about 2500$ into this thing,and only drove her a few days,,,,,,, 1750 at initial signing,,,bought as is,,,plus I'm pawning tools for the replacement parts,,,,,This Car was my blessing,dream car,, but unfortunately for my father and I , another symbol representing my terrible luck as of late,,,,and I dont know what else to do!!! I havent changed the pcm, but I have rest the computer 10 times 5 ways... please take time and help us... I'm missing work and about everything else to boot,,,this car was my ticket back into life
