it may have jumped time..need to take it in and see..

This problem can be from the Inertia sensor. On Lincolns, the Inertia switch is usually close to the Air-ride cut-off switch in the trunk. Or behind a front floor kick panel. There is a reset button on the switch. Check photos on the Web if you want to see what you are looking for.

check emissions vacuum lines for leaks..also check the fuel filter..change it because they arent that expensive..

really??? through the dipstick tube..with a narrow funnel tip..you know one of those long funnels with the long tube on the bottom..fill it with 4-6 qts and check it..until full..

Do the headlights come on? This is independent of the key. If not, you have a supply problem (fusible link, open circuit battery, etc...). Measure the voltage on the battery if you can (should be 11.5-12.5 volts DC). If lower, replace or charge the battery. If the headlights come on, then you have an ignition issue (security system, most vehicles have a transponder in the key to stop "hot-wiring" a car, or still could be a fusible link (a wire from the battery to the starter designed to fail if too much current is drawn), ignition switch, park/neutral switch (car must be in park or neutral to start)). Although if the park/neutral switch, usually all other ignition based items work fine, it just won't start.

Here's a link to replacing your sensor.

CHECK THE COILS ON EACH SPARKPLUG FOR OIL RESIDUE

no, the spark plugs are in chambers in the valve covers

check the radiator cap and the fan clutch

the coils act as the gasket but the valve covers can leak oil into the chamber for the sparkplugs and give driveability problems. there are gaskets for the valve covers that can correct this if you have oil in there. yes thye sparkplugs are in those recesses

yes it is possible behind the radio in the back but ford has some integrated in the audio system controller you should findout by taking out the radio if its not there then check in the trunk for the amplibehind the seat or side panel near fenders if its there possible water damaged the amp to replace

the release is in trunk on the same side as the filler door. pull it and open the door

radiator is probably stopped up and when you allow coolant into the heater core which is a small radiator itself. it get sufficient releive to run normal. or your sender for the temp guage is bad and the car never is really overheating.

the valve body of your transmission is still calling for a rebuild or a new transmission ...have autozone read your codes free and see if they can reset the vehicles codes if the car is running fine

You have fuses and relays-

Under the hood.pass side,front,next to washer bottle and ABS motor

On the right side kick panel,under glove box. Have to remove cover

In trunk,lift cover,left of battery.

check fuses could be a fan module
