#237 of 827 Cold Start Problems Navigator 1999 by tmurtaza

Jan 19, 2006 (9:15 am)

I have a Lincoln Navigator 1999.
It started in winter of last year and went away in summer. Now its back!
Only in cold weather I have a really hard time starting up! That too only in the morning then thru out the day it seems to be fine when fired up at 4 hr intervals any thing else i.e 8 hrs or more and I have the same issues.
I have NO Check Engine Light (SERVICE ENGINE SOON or SES) at this point. Running a OBD software II via my laptop I found that I am Lean on Bank 2!
 
Here is a history of the issues.
We changed the Plug on coils all 8 of them! 3 and 5 died so we changed them all to save cost of changing remaining one by one.
We changed the fuel filter, as part of routine maintenance.
We changed the PCV valve, routine maintenance.
We changed the throttle position sensor, while trouble shooting and the part was cheap.
We changed the air temp sensor, while trouble shooting and the part was cheap.
We changed the oil pressure sensor, there was a Dash DTC code DTC 5284 saying it was bad.
We changed the O2 sensors (the first 2 of 4) as they were burnt up had a SES light.
We changed the MAF (Mass Airflow Sensor) as it was felt that this was the last component that reflected temperature!
 
Still the issue persists.
Someone on the web said that they had similar problems and they had the same issues. So they changed the IAC (Idle Air check valve). That’s going to be my next move.
 
If need be I will take to a Dealer and get scalped if that the only alternative, but would like to see if there is anything minor that we are missing. Besides just because I own a Navigator doesnt mean I am loaded! Appreciate any help that anyone could be provide. Thanks

I spoke to a friend who is a service writer at a Ford dealer.. did your's do this on a rainy day? The small leak issue that we see in some of the other posts could be the culprit. Just makes a relay stick on and cause the problem... mine cleared up too... between my husband giving it a slight smack and a dry day. Other than that, my Navigator has been a great vehicle. We'll consider sealing that spot in the future or getting a carport for her. As to the person who wanted to know how the gas mileage is... don't give up the diesel if you're concerned about that (mine averages 11 mpg which is mostly driving to work and home 5 miles each way in the suburbs), however if you're looking for a vehicle that can haul everyone and get them there in style and class with creature comforts, then a Navigator's the way to go. We test drove a Cadillac before purchasing this one and it won hands down! Even with this issue, my next vehicle will still be a Lincoln... liking the look of that new Mark LT. The quality of the Ford vehicles we have owned has been much better than any of the GM's except for the old hot rods...

When I had my '04 Navi, I got 9.9 city and 15 hwy. If you have the new 6.0 diesel, your better off staying there with that truck. Just look at all of the problems that other people are having! That's why I got rid of my Navi! Ford has nothing but problems with these SUV's. I wouldn't buy another one. The diesels are more reliable. I've got a new F-350 diesel Super Cab with the long bed and I love it.

The dealer is jerking you!!! All models with reverse sensing had the outside mirrors tilt down for parking assistance. You need to find a better service dealer and contact Lincoln Customer No-Service to let them know about this service person. My '04 Navi had this feature.
