I have a 2008 ford edge, which is pretty much the same as the lincoln
after driving the car for 30 mins 2 days ago, the engine stopped, i put it in park & turned it on with no problems, it was low on gas, so I filled the tank & then after that it did the same thing twice within the next 20 mins but it would immediatly start with no problem. At first I thought it must be dirt from the buttom of the fuel tank getting sucked in to the fuel injection system. but while on my way back home the car stopped & wou;dn't turn back on & when i did a system check, it gave all these errors at the same time
"Engine Temp data error", "Oil pressure low"(which is not true), "ODO Data Error", "Tire pressure monitor fault", outside air temp reading was faulty as well(way too high) & i noticed that the immobolizer icon was flashing even when the car was unlocked. The tow truck driver tried disconnecting the battery thinking this might reset the cars computer & make it work, but it didn't & as soon as i reached the ford service center, the car started normally & there were no errors anymmore & the immobolizer wasn't flashing anymore. I left the car to be checked & after 2 days of diagnosis they couldn't find anything wrong, they said all they could see was "LOSS OF COMMUNICATION WITH PCM"
so i took the car back & after 2 hours same thing happened again & it won't start.
If anyone had this problem before please tell us how how you solved it, because it's turning out to be a guessing game at the dealership.
Thanks,
TY
