1996 Lincoln Town Car

Asked by JustinR89 Feb 05, 2019 at 07:26 PM about the 1996 Lincoln Town Car Signature

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 96 Lincoln Town Car, I believe the 4.6 v8.
When I'm driving down the road at about 30 35
meh and I'm just keeping at a steady pace almost
like an idle but driving my car seems to start
sputtering every now and then but I'll press the gas
pedal just a bit more and it goes fine.  Or if I'm
driving at any speed and I start going up a hill and I
try to maintain the exact speed it starts sputtering
too. Unless I give it a bit more gas it goes fine. But
I'm having trouble determining if it would be the
transmission, or maybe a fouled spark plug?? Can
anyone help with some knowledge please

Scan it for DTC codes. . . check the freeze frame info engine light does NOT have to be on. An engine misfire or transmission shutter can cause these driveability issues.
