#1 of 6 Need Help With The 2001 Lincoln LS V8 by andres23 Nov 11, 2009 (4:43 pm)
I Just bought this car like 10 days ago, its was running great, then the "change the left back light" sign lit up, i changed the light, then the "change oil", then the wipers...I changed all that. My main problem though is that when im driving, the engine light stays on, when i hit 45mph and up the cars starts to shake and it stops shaking then it does it again, also when I start the car i takes 2 tries for it to start, the car is starting to sound like a truck now, lol, a recent problem that im facing is that the temperature sky rocketed all the way up, and i had to pull over. I went to Pep Boys to get it scanned and they told me they couldnt, something about they couldnt retrieve the code, and suggested me to go to Lincoln dealer. Can anybody help me with these problems. What do I need to do fix these problems? I would appreciate it. Replies to this message: akirby (Nov 12, 2009 5:53 am) andres23 (Nov 14, 2009 9:09 am) akirby (Nov 14, 2009 8:56 pm) and 2 more...

Replying to: andres23 (Nov 11, 2009 4:43 pm) You either have bad COPs (coil on plug) or a bad fuel pump or both. For the overheating - if you stop, turn it off and restart it does the temp go back to normal? If so it's probably a bad temp sensor or wire or possibly an air bubble in the coolant. If it stays hot then it's either a bad thermostat or a bad cooling fan. The cooling fan is hydraulic.

Replying to: akirby (Nov 12, 2009 5:53 am) Could it be the gaskets if there leaking? Replies to this message: akirby (Nov 14, 2009 8:56 pm) andres23 (Nov 19, 2009 6:19 am) chollyb (Nov 30, 2009 2:05 pm)

Replying to: andres23 (Nov 14, 2009 9:09 am) Leaking valve cover gaskets can cause the COPS to fail. Replies to this message: andres23 (Nov 19, 2009 6:19 am) chollyb (Nov 30, 2009 2:05 pm)

Replying to: andres23 (Nov 19, 2009 6:19 am) Be prepared for more of the same... ALL the COP's will eventually fail, 1 or 2 at a time. I'd LOVE to have the exclusive rights to market those damned things...
