I have a 2001 Lincoln LS with a starting problem. The first start in the morning is perfect. It hardly turns over before it starts. If I start it again within a short period of time, again it starts perfectly. I could start it every 5 minutes all day long. But if I stop for breakfast, say and try to start it an hour later, I have to crank on it, maybe 3 times.It finally starts, but it acts like it's flooded. No trouble lights or messages. Any thoughts ?

I'd like to thank larry quigly for the gas advice and silveysales also. You guys helped me so much. Now I have another question for you guys if you can help. I just had the dealership do a tune up. I.E., spark plugs and coils. Now prior to the tune up, the car had NGK spark plugs and coils before it burnt out. I noticed good if not great gas mileage when those were in. Now the dealership changed the spark plugs and coils. They installed bosch platinums. Don't konw if they're the regular platinums or platinum plus. Should I continue to leave it with bosch platinums? or should I switch out the bosch for NGKs? please advise. I love my Lincoln LS and want to get the best gas mileage out of this V8 monster. 1 Answer

I like the bosch platinums but for some reason they don't last long. they didn't last long on my eclipse and im questioning it if I should have these bosch spark plugs removed to place NGK's in them.

OK, 2000 Linclon Ls V8, wife and I were driving down the road when we noticed the dash lights and the headlights were dimming. managed to get it to the side of the road before everything, dash, radio, headlights, everything died. Car was still running, but bearly. Friend came by and gave me a jump and it ran fine all the way to my inlaws house, about 15 miles away. When we left there, the car did the same thing again. Whats up with that, is it the computer going haywire? 3 Answers

The engine will sit there and turn over all day long, but doesn't actually "come to life". My room mate is pretty mechanically inclined, and I am not so shabby myself. I can change the coil packs no ...
