There are a couple of things to check. Since I doubt both coil packs would fail at the same time, I would check the Crank sensor and EDIS Ignition Control module on the driver-side fender. The easiest way to check the crank sensor is with a DVOM at one of the pins at the module. I cant remember which one off of the top of my head though. If you are getting a signal from crank sensor, then check power and ground at the EDIS module. These usually fail and show signs with intermittent starting when hot and cold. Also check the crank sensor harness if you are not getting a crank sensor signal.
NO....JUST SHUT THE ENGINE OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On a 1998 Lincoln Continental : The thread on cap on your engine coolant reservoir is the pressure cap / radiator cap . The engine coolant reservoir is in your engine compartment , towards the passenger side of the engine compartment
On a 2000 Lincoln Continental : The engine coolant reservoir is in the engine compartment . It is on the PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT and has a thread on cap on the top of the tank ( which is the pressure cap / radiator cap )
On a 2005 Lincoln LS : ( the thread on cap on your engine coolant reservoir is the pressure cap / radiator cap ) * the engine coolant reservoir is on the drivers side of the engine compartment , by the firewall
I remove the fuel pump fuse or relay while the engine is running. The engine will run until the pressure has dropped. Leave the fuse or relay out until you have finished replacing the fuel filter.

If it is bad, replacing it will help with the vehicles emissions and put out the check engine light.
after replacing points in engine, can correct timing be done to engine if engine is not run.
