I had the fuel pump, and fuse replaced about 6 months ago.
just for reference the starter was replaced last year. I left to go to work last night. fair weather I would say around 59 degrees.
dry weather(not raining) And my Gator will not start. note: the vehicle has a half a tank of fuel in it ,which I had just put in there a few days ago. also when I try to crank it up, a red theft deterrent light flashes(this might have always done this ,but I'm not sure.)
I'm stumped, along with my friend who is a mechanic. If anyone has had this problem any and all ideas on what the problem could be woul be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance ! ! ! ]]> Wed, 22 Feb 2012 10:02:24 +0000 http://www.lincolnforums.com/forums/topic/9463-no-one-knows-how-to-fix-ugh/ Brand new brake caliper...still sticky brakes..HELP! http://www.lincolnforums.com/forums/topic/9462-brand-new-brake-caliperstill-sticky-brakeshelp/
But it always seems to stick whenever I'm coming to a complete stop. Not when I'm slowing down with the pedal applied. And it locks up a bit before un-sticking itself after a second or so..

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

BTW, the brake system is in perfect working order,new master cylinder,brake booster,front right caliper. No leaks,but it still sticks....]]> Wed, 22 Feb 2012 04:40:35 +0000 http://www.lincolnforums.com/forums/topic/9462-brand-new-brake-caliperstill-sticky-brakeshelp/ 98 mark 8 shifting issues http://www.lincolnforums.com/forums/topic/9461-98-mark-8-shifting-issues/ Any ideas.

I have a 2003 navi ultimate. Is there anyway I can take the 03 radio/navigation out and replace it with the 04 or 05 radio/navigation?]]> Tue, 21 Feb 2012 16:28:42 +0000 http://www.lincolnforums.com/forums/topic/9459-03-radio-for-an-04/ GT40 Intake install http://www.lincolnforums.com/forums/topic/9456-gt40-intake-install/ Ok, so does anyone have ONE link that can show me a step by step walk through of a gt40 intake install. I have been searching the net for the last 3 weeks but no forum has given me a confident enough answer for all of my concerns.
Heres the exact situation
Im putting a 302 from a 86 into a 88 TC. Restoring the 88 and wanted a fresh motor for it. I wanted to add a little bit more grunt to the motor, but most importantly have a bullet proof motor. I purchased shorth exhaust headers for it and am doing a dual exhaust on the car. I went to the net to see what "bolt on" uprgades I could do on my budget. Everywhere I looked. GT40 intake swap. I lucked out and found one from an Explorer and am now scratching my head, trying to figure it out. The stock lower intake has a hose on the rear driver side that Im pretty sure goes to the Throttle body. Im well aware I need to drill a hole by the #5 runner, just wasn't prepared for this. I can't find any answers for what that hose does and why the GT40 intake does not have it. Anyone got a solution? I've also noticed the fuel rails are flipped 180 on the lower intake when comparing the stock to gt40. If anyone has any tips, advice or a site with all the answers (don't mind learning on my own), please let me know. I have this brand new motor sitting...just waiting to be lowered in. Oh and if there are any little difference btw the 86 & 88 chassis for the motor swap...any extra tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks anyone and everyone!

Cheers

We will shortly be leaving our current assignment in the UK to return once again to Southern California. Spent 5 years there previously and had a 2001 Navigator which I loved. More to the point the wife loved it and wants no other car when we return. Spent the last 2 years driving P38 Range Rovers which I have grown to love and will miss them greatly. That said I never found myself underneath the Navigator whereas it was a weekly event on the Rangie. I joined the forum to try and get a heads up on the common issues on the newer models so i am better prepared come May when it is time to spend the cash. Looking forward to some good research.

'72 mark IV blower resistor (climate control) wanted]]> http://www.lincolnforums.com/forums/topic/9441-new-in-this-forum-72-mark-iv-blower-resistor-climate-control-wanted/
I´m new in this forum. I think it´s a great help for the classic Lincoln owners trying to restore their cars, sometimes a difficult task due to problems to find some parts.

My friend has recently bought a '72 Mark IV. He is the third owner of a unit exported directly to Spain in 1972. It´s one of the few mark IVs without opera windows. It´s in very good condition, always garaged and interior like new. Drives like a dream smoothly and amazingly powerful for its weight. Another friend and me are helping him to solve some problems: It needs a lifter adjustment to get a smooth idle (not difficult), fixing the "Sure-track" ABS (now disabled, as it does not work properly sometimes), a new heater core (we have it ready to install) and... This is what we can not find: The resistor controlling the blower speed in the climate control. My friend, who has helped it down, says it has some electronic component also. We have been trying to find a new one (or used in good condition) but we haven´t been lucky so far.

Could anyone tell me the name of this part? (I´ve been told it´s only used in climate control equipped units)... And more helpful: Could anyone tell me where can we find it? It seems it´s harder finding some parts for classic Lincolns than for other american classic cars.

Any help would be much appreciated. Below you can see some pics of the car.
