I recently bought a 2000 Lincoln LS from a local "mechanic" for a heck of a deal. So far I have had to convert the hydraulic fan to an electric, remove the fan pump(front seal leaked) and replace the IAC. Needless to say the car runs great and has 132,000 miles on it. Also, just wanted to say 'thanks' to everyone for your posts. They have helped out a great deal.
