The mechanic who worked on at the madison tn bp service station said my car said that he was having several lincoln having the same type problem one was in right next to mine at the time it was working acording to his computer my gauges worked they just didnt sense any overheating I have spent two thousand dollars to correct a blown head gasket two fuel injectors and a thermostat waterpump and two spark plugs and two oxygen sensors all due to the car overheating I constantly ran a system check with my on dash system check and had all system normal now due to the car overheating with no notice the gauge on the dash read temperature was in the center not hot nor too cold even with the new parts the car is now hesitating and cutting off the gauges show check engine charge system bad and the car cuts off constantly and the mechanic can't seem to fix it each time it cuts off he keeps finding something else wrong and is associating each with the original problem of the car overheating leading me to believe that there is a major cooling system problem also it has a new radiator so it seems that the problem is due to the original manufacturers design for the cooling system not to mention the minor braking and steeering problems I seem to have here lately help please I am at the end of my rope here. Thanks.
