2000 Lincoln LS codes
I have a 2000 LS V8 with 163K. I bought the car with check engine light on
but was told it was just an O2 sensor, and it ran well so I went through with it.
Scanned it a week ago and had the following codes: P0172 (bank 1 system
too rich), P0174 (bank 2 system too lean), P0302 (cylinder 2 misfire), P0304
(cylinder 4 misfire), and P1132 (lack of heated oxygen sensor bank 1 sensor
1 switch, indicates rich), the downstream sensor had been replaced so I'm
guessing the upstream one needs to be replaced now. I erased all codes to
see what would come back and they all did plus P0301 (cylinder 1 misfire)
and P0303 (cylinder 3 misfire). The car has no problem starting but does idle
rough and has the notorious misfire sound coming from the tailpipe.
However, it drives great, seems to have full acceleration and shifts on point. I
was just wondering why it is missing on only one side of the block? One
thing I noticed is the coil cover which bolts onto the valve cover is missing 3
of 6 bolts. Not sure if this plays any role but figured I'd mention it.
