Engine Mechanical problem
1997 Lincoln Continental V8 Front Wheel Drive Automatic 180,00 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I also have a 97 Lincoln Contental that wont start sometimes. It sat in a parking lot for 3 days and would not start, then they towed it and it started when it got to the shop. They replaced the fuel pump and filter. 2 weeks later it would not start again and when it was towed to the shop it started again. Getting an electrical diagram will not help if you dont know what to look for and replacing items is a hit and miss deal. Any mechanics have the same problem found out what is really wrong and what to fix?

Yes, it cranks but wont catch. When it happened for the garage the were able to place a computer on it and found the only thing wrong was low fuel pressure. Thats when they replaced the fuel pump and filter.

The car repair shop finally isolated the problem to the crank case sensor. They originally replaced the fuel pump and filter but it did it again after 3 days. After the crank case sensor was replaced it has not happened again.

wouldnt have guessed that caused low fuel pressure. |
97 Lincoln will not start but cranks good. I have had it towed to the shop and each time after being towed it starts. The fuel pump, crank shaft sensor, fuel relay and spark plugs have all be replaced. Car has 86,000 miles. I am getting ready to have it towed again - any advice?
