Known Issues for This Vehicle

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.
