What happens if you dont change an air filter on the 2002 Lincoln LS?

Nothing good will come of it. Over time the filter will become so clogged that it impedes the flow of air into the engine. This will cause a RICH MIXTURE situation that can not be compensated for by the engine's computer. The Check Engine Light will come on, and the engine will not run properly (rough, stumble, etc). Along the way gas mileage will decrease noticeably.

What happens if you dont change your car oil?

You oil will get dirtier and dirtier, the filter will clog and the engine will start the wear. Eventually the engine will develop sludge and in the end the engine will not last very long. I would suspect a brand new engine that you kept driving and never changed the oil might last 50,000 miles at the outside before having major internal problems.

Where is the fuel pump shut off switch located to change fuel filter?

Dont need to switch fuel off to change filter, the cut off or inertia switch is for emergencies only. With ignition off there will be no fuel pump running so the filter can be easily changed. There will be a residual pressure in system when engine off, dont worry about this as its normal to have a bit of petrol spraying out, just watch your eyes.
