Fuel pump, fuel filter, COPs (coil on plug), pcv valve (V6 only)

Had a bad battery. Replaced, then started having this ETC warning light issue along with misfiring and poor idle. Have to stop and sit for 10 minutes. Then runs fine. Would this be the start of coil problems or something else. Car is and 04' with 42,000 on it. Thanks for any suggestions.

you want to get a scan tool vip or advance auto dose it for free my guess is, If it just started happening is a coil pack if you do it yourself you will save hundreds.. the scan tool will tell you the exact cylinder missfiring. is it a v6 or v8

Thanks for the info but guess what happened. To it to a dealer where they replaced 4 coils that went bad from the battery changed I did and they did the repair for free. Said that it was still under a recall so no charge. That was a break. Thanks again.

Check engine light (and other problems) by nikkikyles

Hello everyone, my husband has a 2003 lincoln ls and the check engine light is on all the time, sometimes it blinks. It idles really rough and always feels like its about to cut off. When you accelerate it feels like its not quite getting any gas, I dont know the proper term for it but it feels like its about to cut off any second and it has absolutely no pick up to it, I was just hoping to get a starting point before we spend a ridiculous amount of money. Thanx to anyone who can help...

Coil on plugs (COPS). Don't drive it with the light blinking - you'll damage the catalytic converters.

Yes it sounds like it is definitely the coil on plugs, not a cheap fix at the dealer. I have had three of mine replaced in the last year.

Hi Nikki,
We are having the same problem with our 2003 LS. The check engine light is on and the other day, we heard something pop and it would not accelerate past 5 miles per our. We pulled over and it keep stopping as if it were going to flood and out and after about a half hour or so, we eventually picked up speed and were able to make it home. Yesterday, it went dead as I was turning and I stopped. I attempted to restart it and it sounded as if it were going to flood out, but eventually it started and I was able to get it home again. I also smelled gasoline yesterday when I was trying to restart it. What is the problem and is it an expensive fix?
