Guys, I have to be honest. This question was about my friend's Lincoln V8. Knew many problems were brand specific and I own a 1991 X. So I posted here since I know how good and fast you are answering questions. Had to get him on the road quick, just got license back after 2 years. Ran from the cops for no reason and hit his point limit for suspension doing so. But just like a brother, my kids call him Uncle.
I posted this on the Lincoln Forum that I found after researching for hours.
UPDATE
Buddy got a little too f&^%d up drunk tonight and went off on me. Told me I was bugging the s^%t out of him while asking him to get a phone number so I could call a neighbor to borrow a scan tool.
Won't be answering his calls after I towed the POS with my Explorer back to my house to leak all over my cul de sac. 1 1/2 quarts a week. He pissed off the wrong buddy.
If I hear through another friend I will update the cause.
Thanks guys,
Dipchit couldn't even get a part right up at O'Reilly's. Cost me $3 in gas just to fix his F-up.
