#908 of 915 Ford Rear Wheel Drtive Drift on and off the throttle by gseterry Nov 10, 2009 (6:13 am)
I believe you may have worn/failed Rt Rear rear lower control arm bushings, or worse - broken Rt Rear control arm anchor brackets. This condition is allowing your rear end to WALK forward on the Rt side under load and back (off load) in the 2 steer directions. Your car in essence is steering itself with the rear wheels. Have all these bushings (RT & LT - if they are the culprit) replaced. If the brackets have failed or are broken, have them repaired but inspect the LT side too ......... Good Luck. Terry

#910 of 915 Infrequently by euphonium Nov 10, 2009 (3:42 pm)
the CEL goes off and on while at highway speeds. It is a '94 Town Car, 145000 miles and runs great otherwise. What could be causing this?
#911 of 915 California emission test by tcb74 Nov 15, 2009 (10:44 am)
My 1984 town car did not pass the California emission test. To high on nox only at the highest speed measured passed everything else. I replaced the tps sensor(was bad) and o2 sensor. Can the bad tps cause it to fail alone?. Replies to this message: nwraaa (Nov 27, 2009 4:24 pm)

Replying to: tcb74 (Nov 15, 2009 10:44 am) Many Ford cars with that engine did not pass emmision testing when they were brand new. I put so much money into the emmission controls on a Lincoln that I bought during that era that the car should have been making oxygen. After spending at least a grand on the car and it would not pass, I took it to the Department of Motor Vehicles to get a waiver. That is when they told me that they hated dealing with that engine. They could not even get their own cars to pass emission inspection. The TPS, more that likely had nothing to do with it not passing. Your inspector simply may not have had the RPMs at the right speed to make the car pass. To get this engine to pass the following items need to be right: Clean air filter, weight of oil, grade of gas (they like Exxon and BP Premium), clean calalytic converters, hot spark plug, right on the money timining, new oxygen sensors, new PCV, and a can of gas system cleaner. If you do all the work at one time, drive the the car around at highway speeds for a couple of days before you take it in for inspection.
#913 of 915 oil leak by gillespie7 Nov 29, 2009 (3:12 pm)
can you have an oil leak at the pressure switch and where is it located. i have a 1998 lincoln town car. help. Replies to this message: nwraaa (Dec 01, 2009 7:41 am)

Replying to: gillespie7 (Nov 29, 2009 3:12 pm) The oil pressure sensor is located below the oil filter. It can leak; however, check the filter to make sure that it is tight enough and also there is a gasket between the engine block and filter housing. I have had more problems with this gasket leaking than with the oil pressure sensors and oil filters.
#915 of 915 Town Car shifting problems (MLP) by petan Dec 01, 2009 (11:32 am)
I have 1992 Lincoln Town Car with about 200k. Worked good, but suddenly transmission started hesitating when driving constant speed (at 60mph)- gears everything (1st to 4th)!\r\nI can't also engage park brake in neutral. The diagnosis says 522 - open circuit manual lever position sensor. Where it is located and could I anyhow check if it is working good or the problem would be only wires?
