I bought this Lincoln LS a while ago that was in limp mode and a bunch of misfires. so first thing I did is put new coils, I bought them from Ebay for 70 bucks. car didn't change at all. I checked compression and I had cylnder 7 With zero compression. even when the car was running it was pushing 40PSI. SO I went ahead and bought a motor for it, replaced the motor. The misfire stayed and didn't change a bit, so I bought a computer, had it programmed by the dealer, installed it and the car started right away! ran prefect but when the car gets warm and under load I was getting P0357 Which is ignintion coil G primary/Secondary Circut. It runs perfect when cold, Its so weird! by the way, I also got a trasmission error so I changed the solenoid pack with a new one from the dealer, transmission is great now! but any idea on the misfire ?
Lincoln LS starts missing when warm and under load ??

Seems like a coil issue. Does the "new" motor have the original coils? Coils on their way out tend to be more obvious when under load and when hot.
The LS doesn't like aftermarket too much. Quite positive that if you switch to Motorcraft coils your problem will be gone. They will run you $50-$65 a piece but they work. Contact Atrom, I purchased a whole set of coils and plugs brand new from him for $330.

You must change the spark plugs when you do this (even if they only have a thousand miles on them) and verify that they have the correct gap.
Is this a V6 by any chance?
Is that the cheapest that would work on it ??

Bad coils damage spark plugs. Damaged plugs kill new coils. Do you want to risk each $50+ coil for each $7 plug?
You're right, I'll get new plugs as well!
