new to the lincoln fam question about my car

[lincolnboy333]

So i just installed an aftermarket air intake for my car, and it ran great for about 2 hours. on the way home i noticed the car started jerking slightly at 25 mph and at 35 mph.

i then did some homework and found two options, either i have to rest my MAS, or my ignition coils are going bad. if any one can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.

SN: oh yeah and by the i put the stock air box back in, and the car is still doing the same thing.

Very unlikely to have anything to do with your new air filter/duct. Very possibly a coil or coils and plugs.

well is there a way to check which coil(s) is bad?

Welcome To The LS World

A search will show that the coils are a well-known problem, requiring replacement every so often. It's best to simply replace them all when there begins to be a problem. Again, a search will show that it's a good idea to explore the possibility of leaking cam cover gaskets with the concomitant problem of oil-soaked plug-wells, plugs needing replacement due to the oil-soak, and the coil problem---all occurring inter-dependently. Simply deal with all difficulties at the same time. Again, 'search' is your friend. And please don't be afraid to ask for further help. We're all in this together!!
