My 02 V8 is basically doing the same thing except that it's worse the warmer it is outside. During the summer when it was around 90-95F, it threatened to die on me a couple of times that I didn't let it warm up on the first time I would slow down to a stop. Below about 40F it doesn't misfire at...
Just an update, it did do this once more a couple of days after my last post and this time it wouldn't start even when I was messing with the shifter until I wiggled the key itself while it was in the ignition in the on position. Hasn't had a problem starting since. I'll check out what's going...

if your plugs look like the bottom middle one then between that, your mpg, and it...
Yes, I'm sorry I meant that it went blank while I was trying to start. Usually when I start the car the climate control and radio turn off but everything else stays on which is why I thought it was weird. The front end work I did on the car involved replacing the transmission/PS/hydraulic fan...
So for some reason it occurred to me to try and start it while it was in neutral instead of park to see what happened, sure enough it fired right up. I took it for a drive to the gas station to fill up a leaking tire and and back home then tried restarting it in park after it was warmed up and...
Thanks for the response, I'll check it out and let you know. As far as misfires, I really need to get in there and see which cylinders have oil in them because last time I looked at it you could actually see oil residue from the top of the valve cover leaving a trail down to the cylinders with...
After I put in a new intake on my 02 V8 it would act like it was going to die at every stop light including lights dimming etc .. right up until I realized I had forgotten to reconnect the O2 sensor. Maybe yours is failing?
If it starts, your battery is probably fine. If you want to check your...
3 and 5 circled means there are discs in slots 3 and 5, the error probably means the thing is starting to fail and I would get the dealer to replace it considering how expensive a new one is, otherwise, i hit mine a few times when it does that and sometimes it works.
as far as the climate...
hi i have a 2002 Lincoln LS V8 with a brand new battery that won't start after sitting overnight. with the key in the on position everything works normally. when I try to start the engine it clicks once and everything turns off. it did this once before a couple of days ago and I came back inside...
