Problems:

Oil leaks

V-shaped engines, like the one in the 2003 Lincoln Town Car, are prone to oil leaks from valve cover gaskets and oil pan gaskets due to aging or wear.

Ignition coil failure

The 8-cylinder engines in these models often experience ignition coil failures, leading to misfires and poor engine performance.

Intake manifold gasket failure

These engines can suffer from intake manifold gasket failures, causing coolant leaks and potential overheating.

Timing chain issues

The timing chains in these engines can stretch or wear out over time, leading to poor engine timing and potential damage.

Fuel injector problems

Clogged or failing fuel injectors are common, which can result in rough idling, poor fuel economy, and engine misfires.

Pcv valve issues

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve can become clogged or fail, causing increased oil consumption and engine performance issues.

Cooling system failures

Radiator and water pump failures are common, which can lead to engine overheating if not addressed promptly.
