2000 Lincoln Continental Problems
Sagging Suspension Due to Air Leaks
Sagging suspension can be a result of air suspension struts and/or drier leaking air. These type of air leaks can lead to failure of the air suspension compressor.
Rough Idle and/or Engine Stalling Condition
In high dust areas, problems with the EGR system are common. The filter for the EGR solenoid may plug and cause the EGR to activate when it should not; this can cause the engine to stall. The dirty filter should be replaced to correct this concern.
Install insulator kit to prevent vibration caused by air compressor
Exhaust Leak in Fornt of Catalytic Converter
An exhaust leak may develop in front of the catalytic converter. This type of leak should be corrected as soon a possible to avoid damaging the catalytic converter.
Turn Off Air Suspension System Before Jacking/Lifting Vehicle
Prior to jacking or lifting a vehicle with air suspension, you must turn off the suspension switch. The switch is generally located in the trunk or on the right side of the passenger foot well.
Overheating Due to Damaged Water Pump
Erratic engine coolant temperature or intermittent overheating can be caused by corrosion inside the water pump. The impeller may spin on the water pump shaft or the impeller may corrode. Either condition reduces coolant circulation resulting in engine overheating.
Incorrect starter relay can cause poor running/low fuel economy
Corrosion on Battery Cable Ends
Check the battery cable ends frequently for corrosion. Corrosion can easily migrate under the cable insulation and cause numerous electrical faults and drivability issues.
Ensure battery height is correct when replacing battery
Adjust AC Clutch Air Gap For Proper Compressor Operation
Checking and adjusting the AC compressor clutch air gap can extend the service life of the AC compressor.
Oil coated air filer causing mass air flow sensor failure
Do not use air filters with oil-coated elements. They may cause premature failure of the mass air flow sensor; this is not covered under the warranty.
Check Engine Light Due to a PCV System Vacuum Leak
A vacuum leak from the PCV grommet vacuum leak can cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate. The molded rubber hose connections may crack and collapse, causing the vehicle to run roughly. A damaged PCV hose will require replacement.
Replace Spark Plug Boots When Replacing Spark Plugs
Due to age and possible damage during removal, it is recommended to replace the spark plug boots when replacing the spark plugs,
Wet floor passenger side heavy rains
The passenger side floor mats are soaked after heavy rains in SoCal. Not from windows or other noticable cause. I thought msayber I drove through large puddles and water got in from underside of chasis. Are there "body drain plugs" that coud be missing, or possibly leaking from the windshield cowling? Drivers side is dry.
