| I bought a second-hand 98 lincoln continental, 93000 miles, No check engine light, passed the emission test, everything works fine(both locally and high way, 60mph), except that the gas mileage, it shows around 10mpg on the meter, and a whole tank (20 gallon) can only go 200miles, btw, I'm driving very gently. I have checked the air filter, which seems pretty clean , I've changed all the spark plugs as well, no improvement either, currently, I'm thinking about checking the throttle sensor, or MAF sensor. The accelerator seems pretty soft, doesn't increase the speed two much for the first 1/2 inch, and sometimes there is a little gas smell from the tail pipe. Does anyone has an idea about what's going wrong? | |
| Something is very wrong with your fuel control, doesn't the check engine light come on? I have a 98 Conti, which I bought new and now has 148,000miles, and my gas milage averages 21.5 on the computer. It gets 24 to 25 on trips and has lots of power. This has been the most trouble free car that I have owned. | |

This has been the most trouble free car that I have owned, but I do have a problem of hard steering when it is first started in cold weather. I don't know if it is the pump or the steering rack and pinion gears. Has anyone else had this problem? |
