Coolant leaks can occur due to issues with the radiator, hoses, water pump, or head gasket, leading to overheating problems.
Exhaust manifold cracks
The exhaust manifolds on the 5VZ-FE engine are prone to cracking, which can cause exhaust leaks and increased engine noise.
Oxygen sensor failure
Faulty oxygen sensors can lead to poor fuel economy, increased emissions, and engine performance issues.

Problems:

Oil leaks
V8 engines, like the one in the 1996 Lincoln Town Car, are prone to oil leaks from the valve cover gaskets and oil pan gaskets.
Intake manifold gasket failure
The intake manifold gaskets on Ford V8 engines can fail, causing coolant leaks and potential overheating issues.
Timing chain wear
Over time, the timing chain can stretch and wear out, leading to poor engine performance or even failure if it skips a tooth.
Electronic fuel injection issues
The electronic fuel injection system can develop problems such as faulty injectors or sensors, leading to rough idling, poor fuel economy, and engine misfires.
Egr valve problems
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can get clogged or fail, causing rough idling, stalling, and increased emissions.
Spark plug and ignition coil failures
On older V8 engines, spark plugs and ignition coils can wear out, causing misfires and reduced engine performance.
Cooling system failures
Radiators, water pumps, and hoses can develop leaks or fail, leading to engine overheating.
